About
Your job board for higher education
Professors, researchers, and professional staff find university jobs and academic careers at the colleges and institutes where they live and work.
Local for all
Every country page is a local job board — not one feed for every place at once. Open the chapter for your country and search the university job next door.
A lecturer job in your city, a research post at the campus down the road, a professional staff role at the institute you already know. AcademicJobs is built around where you are.
Read the United States, United Kingdom, or Australia page — each one is the local board for that place.
Our story
Generic job boards bury academic jobs and research jobs next to every other industry. University jobs need their own board — one that speaks the language of higher education recruitment: professor, lecturer, scientist, dean, and the professional staff who keep campuses running.
About half of higher education roles are administrative and professional staff. We list those alongside academic careers for faculty and researchers, because universities hire whole teams, not only the people who teach and publish.
The listing is the point. Around it we keep the things that help you choose: news, employer ratings, university salaries, and career advice — so you pick the workplace, not just the posting.
Why AcademicJobs
We believe a higher-ed job board should be specialised — built for university jobs, research jobs, and academic careers, not borrowed from a general careers site.
Built only for higher education
Every feature is for academic jobs: university jobs, lecturer roles, research posts, and professional staff at colleges, universities, and institutes.
Academic, research, and professional staff
Professors and scientists sit next to the administrators who make up about half of higher education hiring. Academic careers include both.
Local first
Search university jobs in your city. The board is built around where you are — your campus, your town, your country page.
900+ subjects
From STEM to the humanities, we list academic jobs across 900+ subjects so specialists can find the right department, not a catch-all category.
Tools around the listing
News, ratings, university salaries, and the Career Hub sit beside the posting — context for academic careers, not a social feed.
Employers post here too
Universities and research institutes list university jobs and professional staff roles on the same board. Seekers search; employers post.

Our goal
We are building the largest dedicated academic job board: university jobs, academic careers, and research roles that specialists can actually find. Higher education recruitment deserves a board that does not dilute the search.
It is free to search, and it starts with the role in your city — or the job you post there.
