Eric A. Gislason

As interim chancellor of the University of Illinois at Chicago , Eric A. Gislason heads the Chicago area's largest university, with 25,000 students; one of the nation's leading academic research enterprises, with expenditures of more than $300 million; and one of Chicago 's largest employers, with 12,000 faculty and staff and a $1.6 billion budget.

In almost four decades of service to UIC, Gislason has distinguished himself as a teacher, scholar, department head, interim dean of liberal arts and sciences, and most recently as vice chancellor for research. Named interim vice chancellor in July 1999 and permanent vice chancellor in August 2001, Gislason presided over a substantial increase in funded research at UIC, which now ranks 47th in the nation in federal research funding, one of the best measures of faculty excellence. The vice chancellor for research is responsible for assuring academic integrity in research activities, compliance with federal, state and local regulations relating to sponsored research involving human subjects, animal, recombinant DNA, and infectious agents, conflict of interest and conflict of commitment, and economic development.

Gislason was appointed interim chancellor Jan. 1, 2008, and will serve until a permanent successor is named to Sylvia Manning, who retired at the end of 2007. Once the new chancellor is in place, Gislason plans to retire from UIC and complete writing a book about thermodynamics.

Gislason joined the UIC faculty in 1969 and served as head of chemistry from 1993-1999 and interim dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences from 1997-1998. He holds a bachelor's degree in chemistry from Oberlin College and a Ph.D. in chemical physics from Harvard.

UIC consists of 15 colleges, including the nation's largest college of medicine and regional health sciences sites in Peoria , Rockford , Urbana-Champaign and the Quad Cities . UIC also operates the State of Illinois 's major public medical center, with its hospital and clinics serving more than 600,000 patient visits annually.
