Working at the University of Chicago

The University of Chicago is the second largest private employer in the City of Chicago.  Our faculty and staff are diverse, multicultural and international – and each member plays an important role in furthering the University’s mission of rigorous inquiry and academic excellence.

The University of Chicago is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity/Disabled/Veterans Employer and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national or ethnic origin, age, status as an individual with a disability, protected veteran status, genetic information, or other protected classes under the law. For additional information please see the University’s Notice of Nondiscrimination below.

More information and listings for open positions are located at the University’s Job Opportunities page. Job applicant finalists are subject to a background check that includes a review of conviction history.  A conviction does not automatically preclude University employment.  Rather, the University considers conviction information on a case-by-case basis and assesses the nature of the offense, the circumstances surrounding it, the proximity in time of the conviction, and its relevance to the position.
