Administrative Opportunities at TTIC

TTIC is a dynamic organization with much to offer. Founded in 2001, the institute has developed a sound foundation academically and administratively, and has earned a quality reputation in the computer science field, all in a relatively short time frame.

Located on the venerable University of Chicago campus, we have forged a close relationship with the Computer Science department as well as other campus departments, and are able to enjoy the many amenities the University has to offer.

The administrative functions are well-developed, yet are dynamic in the sense that we are always looking for ways to improve and expand. The administrative staff is self-directed and goal-oriented. The opportunity is provided for staff to grow, develop new skills and explore new ideas.

TTIC is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
