How do I search the job postings?

You can search the jobs with keywords, using the usual constructions: "and," "or," "and not." Put phrases in parentheses if you want only postings containing the entire phrase - Medieval History will return jobs with either medieval or history in the text; (Medieval History) will return only jobs containing that exact phrase. Broad terms like "professor" (hey, we've seen sillier) will return a lot of jobs, but probably not the most appropriate list. You're better off using terms like (Medieval History) or (English as a Second Language). You can also narrow your search using Advanced Search, which lets you apply several criteria: keywords, categories, location, salary, type of position and more. Finally, you can browse the postings using our job categories.

Dual Career searching. It’s not unusual for both members of a couple to be academics – and it’s not unusual for couples to want to work in the same location. Inside Higher Ed’s Dual Career search is an easy way for academic couples to identify places in the U.S. where appropriate jobs for both members of a couple are available. This terrific feature allows couples to enter criteria for two separate job searches and instantly spot proximate jobs via color coded “pins” on a map.

Inside Higher Ed’s Dual Career search is attuned to the reality of academic couples – often it’s less important where two jobs are than that they’re together. Unlike dual career services that require you to enter location information as part of the search, Inside Higher Ed’s Dual Career search helps you find just what you’re looking for – jobs for each member of a couple within a reasonable distance of each other.
