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"

  • Putting Strategy, Ambition and Guts Back into College Fundraising

    Dr. Brian C. Mitchell

    One of the tired adages about American higher education is that the role of the university president is "to live in a big house and travel the world with a tin cup in one's hand." The commentary on the implosion of Gordon Gee at Ohio State University this week picks up on this theme to embellish the image of president as chief supplicant.

    The Washington Post

    President Obama’s pledge to begin federal ratings of colleges by 2015 has touched off widespread debate in academia, exposing a divide that can be seen in contrasting reactions from the leader of a small private college in Maryland and the head of the state’s flagship public university.

  • The Search for the Perfect College

    Dr. Brian C. Mitchell

    It's summer. The college road trip experience has begun in earnest for many high school students. The approach to this search by students and their families varies widely.

    Forbes

    President Obama announced last week an initiative to lower the cost of college for the middle class. He is on the right topic. Higher education, America’s flagship of international leadership, is a proud vessel in need of attention. I just hope he won’t replace the rudder without patching the leaks.
