Employment Opportunities

At Spertus Institute for Jewish Learning and Leadership, we believe that having the right people in the right positions is the most important ingredient to create vibrant organizations that strengthen and sustain communities. That's why it's our pleasure to do everything we can to create a shidduch (Yiddish for "match") between organizations and the leaders who will best serve them.

In that spirit, here you'll find any open positions for our own staff plus career resources and select positions at other organizations.

OPEN POSITIONS IN THE COMMUNITY

As a service to Spertus Institute students, alumni, and the community, it is our pleasure to offer a free listing service for positions available at Jewish community organizations and other nonprofit employers.

Posted here are high-level positions geared toward candidates who have completed graduate degrees or graduate level certificate programs. Not in this select group? You might want to think about this: According to a Pew Research Center study of education level and salary, having "a bachelor's degree continues to pay off but a master's earns even more." In fact, the research found that median earnings for those with professional and doctorate degrees grew 34%.
