As a land-grant institution, part of Kansas State University's mission is to connect community needs with university resources. We do this through a network of county, district, area, and campus offices, as well as agricultural experiment centers and sites.
Our current programming is focused on helping find solutions to the state's most critical issues. Our research and extension efforts are focused on these five key priorities: global food systems, water and natural resources, health, community vitality, and developing tomorrow's leaders. To accomplish this, we offer a wide variety of jobs, both on and off campus.
