WORKING AT RCUH

The Research Corporation of the University of Hawai‘i (RCUH) offers a diverse workplace where employees have the opportunity to work on scientific research projects in various disciplines.

They also protect Hawai‘i’s environment, contribute to family and children’s healthy development, increase knowledge of climate change, educate students, and bring other benefits to Hawai‘i.

DID YOU KNOW…

  • RCUH employees are state, non-civil service employees? This means that employees are non-union and have different benefits from UH/State employees. For more information on RCUH’s comprehensive benefits package for eligible employees, please view our Benefits at a Glance and visit our New Hires Benefits page.
  • Continuation of employment is dependent upon program/operational needs, satisfactory work performance, availability of funds, and compliance with applicable federal/state laws? Because most positions are funded by extramural grant awards, there are conditions to continued employment.
