We have been delighted with the response of our faculty to our partnership with an online recruiting resource with http://www.career.edu  This website enables our faculty members (including faculty at our affiliate institutions) to advertise available postdoctoral opportunities in their groups at no-cost.  Usage tracking information is provided to the OPA by career.edu and can be viewed here.

New! We are pleased to be able to announce an extended partnership with http://www.career.edu which allows the posting of other research staff and faculty positions.  Please see below for details. As before, all announcements for open postdoctoral positions are automatically cross-listed to the OPA positions webpage.

Accounts can be created by individual faculty and/or administrative staff who could use the account for posting open positions from all associated faculty groups.
