13d•$136,000 - $160,000

About The Position

Princeton University Health Services (UHS) is seeking a Nurse Practitioner to join a highly collaborative, mission-driven clinical team dedicated to the care of emerging adults. This is a unique opportunity to practice in a dynamic university health setting that prioritizes quality, access, and whole-person care over high-volume, throughput-driven models. UHS delivers integrated, student-centered care through a team-based model that brings together Primary Care, Acute Care, Sexual Health, Travel Health, and Athletic Medicine. Our clinicians work in close partnership not only with one another, but also with Counseling and Psychological Services (CPS), SHARE (Sexual Harassment/Assault Advising, Resources, and Education), Health Promotion, and administrative teams across University Health Services—reflecting a systems-oriented approach to student well-being. This position is primarily clinical, offering the opportunity to care for a diverse and engaged young adult population while working alongside highly skilled physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, and support staff. Care delivery is grounded in collaboration, shared responsibility, and continuous improvement, with an emphasis on building systems that support both patients and care teams. Based on individual experience, interests, and operational needs, there may be opportunities to contribute to programmatic areas such as immunization compliance, travel health, eating concerns, and quality improvement initiatives. Medical Services operates within a flexible, seasonally responsive care model. During periods of high demand, the focus is on direct clinical care and access. During lower-demand periods, such as the summer months, there may be opportunities to engage in administrative, programmatic, and quality-focused work aligned with team and organizational priorities. This role is ideal for a clinician who values team-based care, enjoys working with emerging adults, and is motivated to contribute to both patient care and the systems that support it.
