Is there a website for finding academic jobs

[fingers_toes_X]

Man.. This would be a good time to start working on the Plan Bs. As I sense that I might have been rejected across the board, I am planning on volunteering in a lab (my field is Psychology) as an RA to get more research experience for the next round. I studied in the UK - they have a website where you can search for academic job vacancies in all areas. I'm wondering if there are equivalent websites / search engines in the US. At the moment, I'm doing a university-by-university search, which might not be the most efficient way..

Thanks for the help in advance

There are a couple of options for you to look online. Some of them are: higheredjobs.com; The Chronicle of Higher Education; APA or APS. You could also look at some of the other societies/associations that might be a little more specific for your interests and many of them advertise open positions. I personally used some contacts I had from undergrad to get my RA position. Hope this helps!

university-by-university is how I found my job- but I agree with lavenes, use your connections if you can. That's really the easiest and quickest way. If you're in the UK looking for US jobs, though, that may be more difficult. Even cold emailing people your CV may get you something, though.

I just bookmarked every school's HR site, and each weekend would go through each one, mark down any jobs, and then apply. Once you get a few standard cover letters, each job doesn't take too long.

good luck!
