Faculty Life

Recruiting the world’s top scholars to join the University of Chicago community is an institutional priority. 

The University is committed to helping academic families make a home in this vibrant community. Assistance with finding housing and childcare, exploring K-12 options, and connecting to Hyde Park and the surrounding area are part of our efforts to make the University an intellectual home for academics and a supportive, family friendly environment.

There are many resources to support faculty life at UChicago:  

  • Assistance with locating a home in the Chicago area.
  • Referrals to leasing agents, local landlords, and real estate agents.
  • Short-term housing referrals.
  • Information about the University’s Employer Assisted Housing Program.

Referrals and resources for childcare, K–12 public and private schools and relevant campus and community resources.

  • Guidance and networking support for academic partners.
  • Confidential conversations between partners and the Faculty Life team.
  • Connections to University supports for academic partners interested in roles on campus.
