Search Openings

The Illinois State University Employment Web site has a search feature to help you quickly locate position(s) for which you are interested.

  1. Click on the Jobs link in the navigation bar on the left.
  2. Specify your search criteria. Review Conduct a Broad Search or Narrow Your Search for information on specifying criteria.
  3. Click the ‘Search’ button.
  4. All current openings based upon your criteria will be displayed.

Conduct a Broad Search

The fewer search fields used, the more results you will receive. You may also leave all fields blank to see every vacant position at the University.

Narrow Your Search

You may search using any number of combinations of the fields on the search page. The more search fields you complete, the fewer results will be returned and the more specific information you will receive.

If, for example, you select ‘Academic Advisor’ as the classification title, your search results would return all Academic Advisor openings University-wide. However, if you selected both ‘University College’ as the department and ‘Academic Advisor’ as the classification title, your search results would only return Academic Advisor positions in University College.

Type of Position

There are four types of positions you can search through the employment system:

  • Administrative/Professional: Appointments are primarily for the purpose of support for the area of instruction, organized research and public service.
  • Civil Service: Positions are governed by the State Universities Civil Service System. Candidates must demonstrate their ability to perform by passing a test.
  • Graduate Assistant: Intended to facilitate progress toward a graduate degree
  • Student: Postings offer a large variety of jobs, on or off campus for work-study and non work-study students

Department
