We often hear from visitors that the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford is a hidden jewel. Nestled between the Allegany National Forest in Pennsylvania, and Allegany State Park in neighboring New York state, Pitt-Bradford is a beautiful, welcoming teaching college – with muscle. Pitt-Bradford faculty have the advantage of the expansive resources and research opportunities available through the University of Pittsburgh system where you also can mentor and inspire your students to help them succeed.

Some of the many advantages to a faculty appointment at Pitt-Bradford include:

  • Newer campus with beautiful facilities

The surrounding community provides the setting for many outdoor activities, including hiking, camping, biking, skiing, hunting, four-wheeling and boating. In addition to many varied arts and cultural activities on campus, other opportunities exist in the community and within a few hours' drive of Bradford (Buffalo – 1.5 hours; Toronto – 4 hours; Cleveland – 4 hours; Pittsburgh – 3.5 hours).
