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.
This Europe page is for domestic academic jobs — university jobs, research posts, and professional staff roles at Europe's universities and institutes.
Why AcademicJobs
We believe Europe's higher-ed job board should be specialised — built for university jobs, research jobs, and academic careers in Europe, 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 Europe's 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 in Europe include both.
Local first
