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.
