Company Profile
Brandeis University
Company Overview
Characterized by academic excellence since its founding in 1948, Brandeis is one of the youngest private research universities, as well as the only nonsectarian Jewish-sponsored college or university in the country.
Named for the late Justice Louis Dembitz Brandeis of the U.S. Supreme Court, Brandeis University combines the faculty and resources of a world-class research institution with the intimacy and personal attention of a small liberal arts college.
For students, that means unsurpassed access — both in and out of the classroom — to a faculty renowned for groundbreaking research, scholarship and artistic output. At Brandeis, professors bring newly minted knowledge straight from the field or lab to the graduate and undergraduate classrooms.
Brandeis supports an innovative and exciting program of learning that emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach to knowledge and the solution of real-life problems. Undergraduates, from the very first year, enjoy leadership positions and research opportunities typically available only to upperclass and graduate students.
Located in Waltham, Mass., on 235 attractive suburban acres, Brandeis is in an ideal location just nine miles west of Boston.
Brandeis is ranked in the top tier of the nation's universities. Our graduates depart to pursue careers in a wide array of fields, and advanced studies in the nation's leading graduate and professional schools.
The same attributes that make Brandeis a great university also make it an outstanding employer: a commitment to excellence, an emphasis on diversity, an appreciation for lifelong learning and a belief in developing the whole person.
Brandeis University takes exceptional pride in recruiting and retaining outstanding employees who share these values. We encourage you to explore this Web site or visit our beautiful suburban campus to discover how you might become a part of our growing and vibrant community.
Benefits
The goal of the fringe-benefit program at Brandeis University is to provide employees with a core set of benefits that adequately meets their needs and the needs of their families. The university currently offers health and dental insurance, life and long-term disability insurance plans, flexible-reimbursement accounts and a basic and voluntary retirement plan as core benefits to eligible employees. In addition to these core benefits, the university provides other benefits, services and activities to help enhance employees' quality of life.
Since the university’s founding in 1948, the benefits program has been developed and changed to respond to the needs of its staff. Fringe benefits are reviewed annually. Changes in benefits are based on need and available resources as well as any governmental regulations that might impact such benefits. The university reserves the right to make changes to its benefits program at its discretion and when circumstances warrant.
