Faculty/Librarian Pre-search Process

Faculty and librarian recruiting are handled through the Office of the Provost and the schools. To post available faculty and librarian positions on the Greater Chicago Midwest Higher Education Recruitment Consortium (GCM HERC) website along with available staff positions, these job openings need to be entered in the eRecruit application.

The GCM HERC improves member institutions' recruitment and diversity efforts by assisting dual-career couples in finding suitable employment at academic institutions in the same region. www.gcmherc.org

The electronic self-identification process in eRecruit simplifies the collection of EOA information from faculty and librarian applicants.
