The UMW HERC Web site includes faculty and staff job listings at all 50 member institutions. The site is organized into five sub-regions (Lake Superior, Lakes and Valley, Minneapolis/St. Paul, etc.) so job seekers can focus their searches on colleges in a particular sub-region. Searches are free and available to anyone seeking employment in higher education. The central location of job postings and regional resources, as well as the site's ability to accommodate dual-career searches distinguishes the Upper Midwest HERC from other employment Web sites. Dual-academic couples can receive automatic e-mail notifications when positions in their fields open at any of the colleges in their specified sub-region. The site also includes a list of diversity resources in our area.
The HERC concept originated in northern California in 2000. Approximately 400 public and private colleges, universities, and teaching hospitals are now members of regional HERCs.
The Dean of the College and Human Resources offices have links to the UMW HERC on their Web sites and will post all position openings. If you have any questions about the HERC, contact Peggy Pfister in the Dean of the College office, or Kerstin Cárdenas in the Human Resources office.
