Greater Chicago HERC

Developed in 2006, the Greater Chicago HERC is a collaborative response of member institutions to the many challenges of academic recruitment and retention. Of particular interest to the Greater Chicago HERC is finding effective ways to assist the spouses and partners of faculty and staff to secure area employment and ways to address issues of faculty and staff diversity.

A vital aspect of the Greater Chicago HERC is the web-based search engine that includes faculty and staff job listings at all member institutions. This search engine is free and available to anyone seeking employment in higher education, research, healthcare (medical centers), and arts and culture. The central location of job postings and regional resources as well as the website's ability to accommodate dual-career searches distinguishes Greater Chicago HERC from other employment websites.

The Greater Chicago HERC is composed of a diverse group of colleges and universities as well as research, medical, and cultural institutions. Member representatives include faculty, staff, human resources professionals, institutional leaders, and faculty relations experts.

Goals

Develop and promote a collaborative employment website for faculty and staff positions at member institutions in Greater Chicago.
