Jobs for the Academic Community
jobs.ac.uk is a an recruitment website owned and created by the
academic community.
The service advertises job vacancies for academic institutions
around the world. It is an
example of the academic community working together to create
something of value and is a venture
that the community should be justly proud of.
In the 15 months since launch, jobs.ac.uk has gone from strength
to strength. The website
receives more than 12 000 visitors a day and provides a free jobs-
by-email alert service for
thousands of people around the world. Over 260 academic
insitutions now regularly advertise their
academic and related vacancies on the site.
At just 40 pounds per advert, the website provides the academic
community with a cost-effective
alternative to expensive methods of recruitment advertising. Indeed,
one institution has
reported to us that by using jobs.ac.uk they have already saved
250 0000 pounds. This is
money we hope will be ploughed back into research and education.
As you can imagine, the majority of the traditional media are still
hostile to us. We have,
however, had some success in persuading elements of the press
to be more co-operative. This is
partly because they are aware of the huge support that jobs.ac.uk
has within the academic world
and that the service is not just going to 'go away'.
Despite the success of jobs.ac.uk to date there is still much to be
done. The more people academia
know about jobs.ac.uk, the more effective it will become and the
more money academic institutions
will be able to save. Therefore, if you have not already done so, I
would ask you to do any or
all of the following:
- please visit www.jobs.ac.uk and perhaps register with our jobs-by-
email facility
- contact us at [log in to unmask] and we will provide you with
promotional material for your department or institution
- inform friends and colleagues about the service whether they are
in the UK or overseas
- create a link to www.jobs.ac.uk from any webpages you are
involved with
If have any comments or suggestions you would like to make about
our service,
please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
Thank you.
