Syracuse University can assist spouses and partners of new faculty with employment opportunities in both non-academic and academic professions. In addition, Syracuse University and Cornell University are co-leading an effort to develop the Upstate New York Higher Education Recruitment Consortium (UNY HERC) where area colleges and universities work together to recruit and retain a diverse and qualified faculty and staff. To date, 23 institutions are members of UNY HERC.
Of particular interest to the UNY HERC is the development of effective ways to assist spouses and partners of faculty and staff in securing employment. The HERC website provides information and resources for anyone interested in working in higher education in Upstate New York, including faculty and staff job listings at all member institutions. The site is available to anyone, and postings are updated daily.
One unique feature of the UNY HERC website is the ability to perform a dual search that enables two individuals to search for positions in the same region. In addition, registered users may receive job alerts via email when a position of interest is posted on the site. The website will also include many helpful resources to assist with relocating to a new area.
The central location of job postings and regional resources as well as the website’s ability to accommodate dual career searches distinguishes the UNY HERC from other employment websites. The UNY HERC comprises a diverse group of public and private schools, colleges, and universities including:
Binghamton University – SUNY
SUNY College at Cortland
Colgate University
SUNY College at Geneseo
Cornell University
SUNY College at Oswego
