EMPLOYMENT RESOURCES ON THE INTERNET
Here is a selection of employment resources on the internet. For
information on posting your positions, connect to the sites you're
interested in and look for instructions on posting.
1. Educator's Job Corner
This directory is a great place for teachers who want to explore
professional opportunities. It houses an archive of items posted to the
American Educational Research Association (AERA) mailing list, plus
pointers to other Net job listings for teachers.
Gopher to: gopher.inform.umd.edu

->Academic resources by topic

2. The following information was taken from The Clearinghouse for
Subject-Oriented Internet Resource Guides at the University of Michigan
(directions for accessing the guides are attached):
JOB SEARCH AND EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES: BEST BETS FROM THE NET
=======================================================================
November 13, 1994 | Version 1.1
file size: 40K | Approximately 17 pages
Philip Ray | School of Information and Library Studies
Bradley Taylor | University of Michigan

== 2. Best of the Best ==============================================
On the Net, two resources tower above the rest in terms of breadth, number
of job postings, effective organization, timeliness, and ease of use. We've
listed them in a class by themselves, because they span so many of our more
specific categories. Start with these in your job search.
2.1 THE CHRONICLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION
gopher host: chronicle.merit.edu
select: \ job openings
URL: http://chronicle.merit.edu/.ads/.links.html
The Chronicle lists over 700 current positions in higher education and
related fields, and includes broad categories of faculty and research
openings, administrative and executive positions, and positions outside of
academe. These categories are further organized into numerous specific
areas for easy browsing. The entire list is searchable by keyword, and the
search can be restricted to the Northeast U.S., the South, West, Midwest,
or to jobs outside the U.S.
The Chronicle of Higher Education, published since 1966, is the premier
news magazine in the higher education field; it is published approximately
every two weeks. The online version includes excerpts and summaries of
articles appearing in the print copy, and complete listings of its job
postings which are paid advertisements. Only the current issue is
available online.
2.2 ONLINE CAREER CENTER (OCC)
gopher host: msen.com
URL: http://nero.aa.msen.com/
Another hands down first choice is the Online Career Center operated by
MSEN, a non-profit employer association located in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Job opportunities included favor high tech positions though real
opportunities exist in other fields as well. Users can submit ASCII (plain
text) versions of their resume at no charge, to be maintained at MSEN for
90 days. All attendant fees are paid by MSEN member employers, who pay
annually to post their openings with the service. Job seekers can search
MSEN's list of job openings by job title, keyword, company name, or by
geographical region. Unlike other similar services, MSEN doesn't belie any
geographic bias: they really do hire for positions across the entire U.S.
and abroad.
== 3. Best Bets in Education & Academe ==============================
As good as it is in education, the Chronicle (2.1) isn't the only resource
out there. Here are a few more gems.
3.1 ACADEMIC POSITION NETWORK
gopher host: wcni.cis.umn.edu 11111
URL: gopher://wcni.cis.umn.edu:11111/
Job announcements on the APN include faculty, administrative, and staff
positions in higher education, along with graduate assistant and fellowship
positions. The APN's strongest area is in faculty positions.
Job postings come primarily from colleges and universities, but several
research institutions (like Argonne National Laboratory) are members, as
are a few businesses. As of October 1994, the APN listed 187 jobs from 92
institutions.
The positions are easily browsable by state or country. Most of the jobs
are in the U.S., but Canada and Australia have some current postings. The
full text of each posting is searchable, so one can search by job title or
any keyword. The service is run by a non-profit collaborative involved with
education, science and technology, which charges a one-time fee to listing
institutions; there is no fee for those seeking positions.
3.2 UNIV. MINNESOTA COLLEGE OF EDUCATION'S JOB-SEARCH BULLETIN BOARD
gopher host: rodent.cis.umn.edu 11119
URL: gopher://rodent.cis.umn.edu:11119/
This "bulletin board" pulls together hundreds of brief job postings focused
on the K-12 educational field. Categories include administration, media
specialty, psychology, and counseling; early childhood development and
elementary education; higher education; and secondary, special, vo-tech
education, and phys.-ed. Because of this organization, the system is easy
to browse by specialty, and a search capability allows more flexibility and
enables the job hunter to focus quickly on potential positions.
This Internet resource is an outgrowth of the College's printed bulletin,
updated weekly. While the organizers accept job postings from anywhere in
the world, the vacancies listed are almost all in the United States. A few
quirks of the system bear mentioning: the "higher education" section
includes a large number of high-school related entries, as well as the
expected college/university postings. Some specific postings are titled
only "Vacancies", requiring the job hunter to sift through more material
than might otherwise be necessary.
3.3 ACADEMIC PHYSICIAN AND SCIENTIST
gopher host: aps.acad-phy-sci.com
URL: gopher://aps.acad-phy-sci.com/
APS lists over 400 positions in academic medicine, from 126 medical schools
and affiliated teaching hospitals-the largest and most comprehensive
collection of its kind. APS includes administrative positions, positions
in basic science, clinical science, and opportunities with the Food and
Drug Administration. The postings are easily browsable by specialty, and
each section is searchable for specialty, location, or other keyword.
3.4 JOBS AT SPECIFIC COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES
Numerous colleges and universities in the U.S., and increasingly the world,
have their job postings available through the Internet. Each institution's
postings may vary in its organization, scope, and timeliness. There are
several places on the Net that collect lists of these sites, including:
Texas A & M'S JOBS PAGE
URL: http://ageninfo.tamu.edu/jobs.html
Rice University's RiceInfo gopher
gopher host: riceinfo.rice.edu
select: \ Information by Subject Area
\ Jobs and Employment
