Search Tips

Here are some useful tips to help you with your keyword searches. Once you've run a keyword search, you can apply filters (job category, institution, location). You can also browse jobs by simply selecting a filter.

Type your word(s) or phrase(s) into the Keyword box. Searches are not case sensitive, so you don’t need to capitalize. There are several ways to construct your keyword search:

ENTER ONE WORD

Your search will return every job posting containing that word.
Example: architecture

ENTER A PHRASE

Enclose a phrase in quotation marks to return only job postings containing that exact phrase.
Example: “Medieval history” or "tenure track"

MULTIPLE KEYWORDS OR PHRASES

If you enter several words/phrases, your search will return only job postings containing all of the words/phrases.

Example: tenure track medieval history

SEARCH TIPS

Use the plus (+) symbol to include words and/or the minus (-) symbol to exclude words

Examples:

business +accounting -marketing

student +services -admissions

Enter several words/phrases separated by the word OR to find every job posting containing at least one of the words/phrases

Examples:

"tenure track" OR tenured

"distance education" OR "online learning"
