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

Academic Networking and Job Resources

Non-Academic Career Resources

  • Jobmanji A growing database of academic jobs in the USA, Canada and UK.
  • 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.
  • Campulse, the Online Magazine for Learners and all those who seek good resources on Education, Career and Placements. 
  • 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
  • http://www.beyondacademe.com/ is a great resource for historians or others wanting to do public history, digital humanities, etc.
  • 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
  • New website aggregating advice, resources, links, and support for people who think they might need or want to leave academia: http://www.howtoleaveacademia.com. Also includes a blogroll with a ton of blogs from folks who have left.
  • "Humanities Unbound: Careers & Scholarship Beyond the Tenure Track" - April 23, 2013 ·
  • Lilli Research Group (Maren Wood) offers Bootcamp for Post-Academic Job Seekers .  It's a 6 part course designed specifically for PhDs who are interested in careers beyond the professoriate. 
  • jobs.ac.uk has careers advice content for people considering a career outside academia including an ebook 10 Career Paths for PhDs and lots of tips in their recording of a Google+ hangout 'How to Secure a Job after your PhD ' .

Humanities Journals

  • Documenting the experiences of working with academic journals in the humanities. Which journals move quickly on submission? Which journals give useful feedback? Which journals help your research reach an audience? Go to Humanities Journals Wiki to see others' experiences and add your own.

Jobberwiki

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.
