Johns Hopkins University, America’s first research university, was founded to expand knowledge and put that knowledge to work for the good of humanity. Today, Johns Hopkins has approximately 6,500 faculty, 6,200 undergraduate students, and 17,600 graduate students across 230 degree programs at the baccalaureate, master’s, and doctoral levels. JHU has multiple campuses in Baltimore and campuses serving graduate students in DC, Italy, and China. Johns Hopkins stands alone among top research universities in its extraordinary commitment to ensuring student success, particularly for those from first-generation or limited-income (FLI) backgrounds, making bold, sustained, and dramatic investments in the student experience over the last 15 years.

Centered on a departmental mission of "Be More," Hopkins Athletics and Recreation is in a period of fast-paced progress and building on its strong foundation. The department is committed to the core tenets of competitive success, student-athlete experience, and developing strong community connections within the greater Baltimore/Maryland region. This new chapter includes investments in state-of-the-art athletic and recreation facilities, innovative programming and partnerships, mental and physical well-being, and strengthening the connections between holistic student development and the professional world. Hopkins invites applicants to apply for the position of Athletic Performance Coach.
