Applying for positions in the U.S.

L

Hello guys,

I'm beginning to apply for academic positions in the U.S. starting 2014.

Has anyone had any experience of the process??

Know any good websites or (other) forums!?

Thanks,
LD

I can't remember what field you're in but NatureJobs.com is pretty good for US based science jobs.

Try the forum at the Chronicle of Higher Education website www.chronicle.com . You can do a search for old threads on this topic. The information on the likelihood of a British PhD getting a job in the US on there is depressing (and will make you very angry about the inaccuracy of the asumptions), but it might help you to target applications more effectively and avoid some pitfalls.

Thanks for the chronicle.com heads up. Some great info on the forum there!
