Dear High-Energy Physics Colleagues,
We are writing to encourage all high-energy physics groups to use the Web site academicjobsonline.org (AJO) to process postdoctoral applications, beginning with searches this fall. AJO is an offshoot of a system (mathjobs.org) which was set up by the Duke University math department (under the sponsorship of the American Mathematical Society) and has been widely used by the US mathematics community since 2000. AJO is now available to list academic jobs at institutions throughout North America; job applicants can be from any country.
The plan is that applicants and their recommenders will each make one submission to this site, and have that submission be read by as many North American institutions as desired. To facilitate the use of the site by the High-Energy Physics community, academicjobsonline has created (within the discipline of Physics) subject areas corresponding to the arxiv categories used by members of the DPF. A single job would typically be listed under several subject areas, according to the interests of the group that is advertising the position.
Fees to use the site are $50/yr for a small research group (to list up to two jobs), and $400/yr for Departments (with up to seven job listings). As noted above, each job can be listed under all appropriate subject areas.
Our groups support the use of this site and are in the process of listing our open fall 2009 postdoctoral searches on AJO. We strongly encourage all groups to consider using the site, since its usefulness and convenience increase as more jobs are listed.
We also request that this message be forwarded to potential applicants for HEP postdoctoral positions, so they will be aware of AJO before beginning their job application process this fall.
