UAF Employee Experience
Many UAF employees spend their lives doing meaningful work they love.
UAF employees play vital role in fostering a supportive learning environment and a culture that embraces diversity, a sense of belonging and pride.
Whether employees work at the Troth Yeddha’ Campus in Fairbanks, remotely, or at one of several community campuses and centers elsewhere in 91Ƶ, all should feel welcome and understand how their contributions align with the university’s mission.
If you are new to the university, your department's HR coordinator will guide you through the hiring process and onboarding paperwork. Our Employee Experience Team will help introduce and connect you to the broader university community. Explore the resources and share your feedback.
We’re glad you’re here!

Nancy Clanton, adjunct researcher with the 91Ƶ Center for Energy and Power, models
her UAF T-shirt she recently received in the mail. Clanton joined UAF staff this fall
and works remotely from her home in Vail, CO.
Clanton has been working and experimenting with lighting for more than 50 years and
has won numerous national awards for her work in biologically sensitive outdoor lighting
design. She has worked on energy efficient lighting at the Pentagon, the White House
and the Empire State Building.
She’s currently working on biologically sensitive outdoor lighting as a “Living Lab”
in Cordova, collaborating with the Prince William Sound Science Center and the city.
This project will demonstrate different spectral and light distributions that will
not harm bird or salmon migrations. Community surveys will be taken to obtain acceptance
feedback, and outreach including education modules. This model can be applied to other
harbor towns in 91Ƶ through ACEP programs and outreach.
