UC Riverside's Dining Services is recruiting for a Dietitian. The full salary range for the Dietitian is $57,700 - $99,300 annually. However, the expected pay scale for this position is up to $78,500 annually. We base salary offers on a variety of considerations, such as education, licensure and certifications, experience, and other business and organizational needs.

The Dietitian plays a critical role in upholding the quality, safety, and nutritional integrity of all food services provided by Dining and Hospitality Services. Collaborating closely with culinary, operational, and administrative teams, the Dietitian ensures that menus and meals served across campus align with established dietary guidelines, food safety regulations, and the evolving wellness goals of a diverse student body. Core responsibilities include guiding the development of balanced, inclusive, and allergen-conscious menus;

ensuring regulatory compliance with local, state, and federal nutrition standards; and leading initiatives that promote healthy eating habits within the campus community. The Dietitian also oversees nutrition labeling and communication efforts, supports the ongoing training of dining staff on nutrition-related topics, conducts regular audits of dining facilities for compliance and quality assurance, and offers one-on-one consultations for students with special dietary needs, including food allergies, intolerances, medical conditions, and religious or lifestyle-based dietary preferences.

By integrating nutrition science with hospitality best practices, this role directly contributes to a safe, satisfying, and health-focused dining experience for all campus patrons.

Applicants must have current work authorization when accepting a UCR staff position. Currently, we are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa for staff.

As a University employee, you will be required to comply with all applicable University policies and/or collective bargaining agreements, as may be amended from time to time. Federal, state, or local government directives may impose additional requirements.
