Employment

Naropa University’s organizational culture is casual yet professional. Our spiritually inspired and holistic approach to education permeates everything we do. Employees at Naropa make up an important component of our learning community and each of us is committed to the fulfillment of the university’s unique institutional mission.

Located in Boulder, Colorado, Naropa is on the edge of both pristine wilderness and a rich urban environment. Naropa’s location offers many recreational, cultural and educational opportunities including lectures, guest speakers, performance events, clubs, a wide variety of religious and community resources, sporting events, outdoor activities and exceptional opportunities for personal and professional growth and development.

Naropa is committed to and engaged in an active process of creating an inclusive, diverse community. We ask that applicants for all our positions are committed to active participation in this growth process and have a willingness to work with people from all backgrounds.

In addition, we are committed to the principles of nondiscrimination in all terms and conditions of employment. We do not discriminate against applicants or employees on the basis of age, race, gender, color, religion, national origin, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation or any other status protected by law.
