Welcome to the Academic Jobs Wiki at Wikia!

You can use the box below to create new pages on this wiki.


This is a wiki for tracking searches in various categories for academic (i.e. faculty) positions. Please post listings by subject area. Note that many/most of these need filling in with actual pages .

Relevant ArticlesEdit

[IMHO Bousquet has hit the nail on the head here, whether we like it or not.]

Academic Networking and Job ResourcesEdit

  • EU job board for researchers: www.euraxess.eu
  • Academia.edu is a hybrid of Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. http://academia.edu/
  • The Interfolio Portfolio is a paid web profile service with pretty robust features like video, powerpoint and teaching syllabi. http://www.interfolio.com/product/porttfolio/index.cfm
  • Researchgate is geared more towards the academic in the pure sciences. http://www.researchgate.net/
  • The Higher Education Recruitment Consortium (HERC) has academic jobs at 550+ colleges, universities, teaching hospitals, labs, and government agencies and search tools for dual-career couples. http://www.hercjobs.org

  • jobs.myScience.ch - The job portal for researchers and scientists in Switzerland www.jobs.myscience.ch
  • myScience.cc - Worldwide job portal for researchers and scientists www.jobs.myscience.cc
  • Academe page at Sterneworks - professionalization resources focusing on Communication Studies (but of broader relevance: job search, transition from student to prof, tenure processm, academic couples, etc.) http://sterneworks.org/academe/

Non-Academic Career ResourcesEdit

(some requests for things like this on the venting page, which would not open for editing in the javascript editor because it is a table instead of editable topics)

  • The Versatile PhD, new home of Wrk4us, an international email discussion list on nonacademic careers for people with graduate education in Humanities, Education, and Social Science disciplines.
  • National Assocation of Independent Schools website - includes a national list of teaching positions open at independent college prep schools.
  • Another idea: look at administrative positions at universities you are interested in. One of my friends moved quickly from grad student to Associate dean (in under 5 years) and he told me, "a PhD can be like a union card for many of the most powerful positions at a university." Something to consider. Plus, many schools will let you work out a joint appt (you teach maybe one course a year but have an administrative position in student advising, the graduate school, etc. )
  • The Leaving Academe forum at the Chronicle of Higher Education
  • I hope it's not a breach of protocol to mention my own blog, postacademic.org , here, but my friend and I recently started it to address life beyond academia for academics--in addition to a good dose of academia-related stuff, of course! I'm mostly discussing my experiences on the academic job market (some of which is inspired by the Wiki), while my friend is providing more of the hands-on information on how to make a transition outside of the academy. (If this is bad form, someone can go ahead and delete this link!)
  • See also the career advice columns 'Leaving Academia' and 'On the Fence' at Inside Higher Ed: http://www.insidehighered.com/advice
  • Eliza Woolf, who writes 'On the Fence' also has a related blog: http://phd-onthefence.blogspot.com
  • #alt-academy: Alternate Academic Careers for Humanities Scholars
  • Webcomic about leaving academia: Literary Emergency

Comic ReliefEdit

Anyone looking ahead to the next job season and needing a good laugh might like to check out this MLA spoof. It's ongoing and borderline brilliant.

JobberwikiEdit

Exhaustig, as my chums from school
Did grum and gream at Em Allay:
All mopesy was the Chronicule,
But we’d been twerking all day.

“Beware the Jobberwik, my son!
Five-minute tasks shall take five days!
Beware the Letter Service! Shun
its mislaid dossiers!”

Took hours to choose our vorpal pens:
And sighned our coverlets with pride –
And threw Seevees into the breeze,
And sat awhile, and cried.

And as we kvented and kvetched
The Jobberwik, that pushy moocher,
Shtiffled past us as we retched,
And sketchered at our futures!

Oi veh! Oi veh! All night, all day
At Em Allay we groamed and grobbed –
And left half-dead, but in our heads
The slight hope we’d been jobbed.

“And shall we feed the Jobberwik?
And shall we gain or lose employ?
Regardless, shall we kill morale,
or fight despair with joy?”

Exhaustig, as my chums from school
Did grum and gream at Em Allay:
All mopesy was the Chronicule,
But we’d been twerking all day.
