In the Heart of Long Island
Stony Brook University is situated at the geographic midpoint of Long Island — about 60 miles east of New York City and 60 miles west of Montauk Point. Long Island’s villages, hamlets and towns each have their own distinctive character, and each features a wide range of housing choices, culture, and recreation. It is only a short distance to the Atlantic beaches of the south shore and the vineyards of the East End as well as a quick train ride from the campus to Manhattan.
Our Commitment To
Diversity
As the largest single-site employer on Long Island, the diversity of opportunities available is equaled by the diversity of our employees.
