Job Openings

The City offers permanent full and part time positions with competitive wages including an excellent benefits package. There are also many temporary and seasonal positions available. Details about the application process, a listing of current openings and information for new hires is below.

Application Process

The City accepts employment applications only during the time a vacant position is posted. All job postings include a specific application deadline date. A City of Iowa City application form must be completed and received by Human Resources by 5 p.m. on the deadline date to be considered for a position. Resumes may be submitted in addition to the application but will not be accepted in the place of an application form. There are no exceptions to the application deadline.

Application forms and job descriptions are available in Human Resources at City Hall, 410 E Washington St, Iowa City, IA 52240; 319-356-5020. Office hours are 8 a.m. - 5 p.m., Monday - Friday. You may also download the application here. Please print and complete the application, and make sure you sign the document before submitting to the Human Resources office. You may then mail, deliver, fax (319-356-5027) or email (jobs@iowa-city.org) the signed application to Human Resources. If you fax or email the application, the original is appreciated but not required.

If you choose not to complete a separate application for individual vacancies, you may apply for multiple positions using one application but you must clearly state which positions you are applying for.
