Dear all,
I frequently publicise job advertisements to  PhDs and postdocs here at York, and am very pleased to find out about new vacancies from this list.

I would be very grateful, if when posting job ads you include the weblink to the actual job vacancy rather than simply including a link to the home page of the organisation and leaving us to fend for ourselves from there.  Sometimes even links to the current vacancies section aren't that helpful. 

I'm sure it's clear to you, but it's your website.  To busy outsiders, navigating around to find information on a specific post can be irksome.

Thank you!
Hilary
