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
community working together to create something of value and is a
venture that we 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 vacancies on the site.
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 in academia know about jobs.ac.uk, the more
effective it will become. 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
We also value your opinions, so if have any comments or
suggestions you would like to make about our service, please do
not hesitate to contact me directly.
Thank you.
