The University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix Center for Simulation and Innovation (CSI) is seeking qualified candidates to join our Simulation Center Pool Staff (non-faculty). The CSI Pool Staff hourly positions include Simulation Operator and Interprofessional Presence (IPP).

Parking costs will be paid by the CSI in the designated Phoenix Biomedical Campus garage. This position does not include benefits.
