HigherEdJobs.com publishes the Higher Education Employment Report each quarter to help administrators, policy makers, and journalists who cover higher education better understand current trends in higher education employment. Those seeking employment in academia may find the data and analysis helpful as well.

Key findings from the report for Q4 2009:

  • The percentage of faculty job postings increased significantly during the first half of 2009 compared to previous years, suggesting institutions are targeting their shrinking resources towards academic programs.
  • The ratio of part-time postings in higher education continued to rise in Q4 2009. This ratio started to increase in 2007 as the recession took hold.
  • Although community college jobs and job postings have trended upward lately, future growth may be more moderate.
