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 Follow the path: ->Educational Resources ->Academic resources by topic ->Education resources ->Educator's job corner 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 e-mail to | [log in to unmask] == 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 URL: gopher://riceinfo.rice.edu/11/Subject/Jobs ======================================================================= How to Access Resource Guides available from the Clearinghouse Access to these guides is available via Anonymous FTP, Gopher, and WorldWideWeb/Mosaic (see below).
