NEW YORK, February 22, 2007 -The U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory today announced the official launch of a new partnership among the Laboratory and 42 other leading higher education institutions in the region, along with their first product: an easily accessible, comprehensive job bank of academic opportunities in the greater New York City and southern Connecticut region, accessible at www.mnyscherc.org

The partnership, known as the Metro New York and Southern Connecticut Higher Education Recruitment Consortium (MNYSC HERC), is the latest and one of the largest pieces of a nationwide network designed to overcome the twin challenges of promoting diversity of faculty and staff and accommodating dual-career families in academia.

The web-based search engine includes listings for all faculty and staff jobs at all member institutions and is available at no charge to anyone seeking employment in higher education. The MNYSC HERC is headquartered at Columbia University in New York City.

Marsha Kipperman, Brookhaven Lab's Manager of Employment & Immigration Services, said, "Listing our openings with the new job bank is an exciting opportunity for the Lab. This website will provide 'one stop shopping' for dual-career couples and partners in order to improve recruitment and retention of the best and the brightest. Although this site will provide job information at all levels, it explicitly includes jobs for research scientists and postdoctoral candidates. I believe that it will be a very successful recruitment tool for Brookhaven."

The job opportunities now available through this central resource will help a wide range of applicants seeking to gain employment or transfer within this network of colleges, universities and research laboratories.
