Overall, if you want to work with a university it is good to just look up the specific university of choice and “jobs” to see if any career pages dedicated to that university pop up. I only recommend this if you are planning on moving to a specific location and your options are limited. It is better to instead look for jobs that fit your interests and/or build certain skills.
