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"

  • No Laughing Matter: Why the University Novel is Now More Tragedy Than Comedy

    The Guardian

    I must say that since starting to go to conferences on medical themes, the quality of the junk mail in my inbox has improved dramatically. Earlier today I was offered a discount on transgenic mice. If I order one line I get a 30% discount, but if I order five lines or more there's a whopping 50% reduction. Not long ago, I was offered rabbits pumped full of monoclonal antibodies. I wonder if the company takes PayPal?

  • In Four Books, Four Different Visions for Fixing Higher Education

    The Washington Post

    In a famous episode of “The Sopranos,” Tony takes his teenage daughter on a college trip to an idyllic New England hamlet, only to run across a long-lost informant in hiding, whom he ends up garrotting in the mud while his daughter tours the picturesque ivy-and-brick campus. Those of us who have recently been on college visits may feel that Tony drew the easier assignment.
