SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the challenges of finding job and fellowship vacancies in the field of physics. Dr. S. Vani has developed a blog-based website, http://physicsjobs.blogspot.com, which utilizes RSS technology to aggregate job listings from various sources, including academic journals and job boards. The site provides instant updates on research and academic positions, making it a valuable resource for students and professionals in the field. Additionally, the APS Career Center was identified as a significant source for physics jobs, and RSS feeds from this site have been incorporated into the blog.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of RSS technology and its applications
  • Familiarity with academic job markets, particularly in physics
  • Knowledge of major physics journals and job boards
  • Basic web development skills for creating or managing blog-based sites
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the functionality of RSS feeds for job aggregation
  • Research additional job listing sources in the academic field
  • Learn about the APS Career Center and its offerings
  • Investigate best practices for maintaining a job listing website
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, graduate students, and postdoctoral candidates in physics seeking job and fellowship opportunities, as well as web developers interested in creating job aggregation platforms.

Journals like Nature, New Scientist, Science or any Physics related journals and websites do provide job/fellowship listing, but it would be very difficult for a person to look at many sources every now and then and collect suitable vacancy announcements. I can tell you this is the most tedious job from my own experience. I was thinking for solution to this problem for so long and finally I developed a blog-based website which is powered by RSS technology.

URL: http://physicsjobs.blogspot.com

It contains jobs (research/academic) and fellowships (grad/postdoc), etc. As it is solely depends on RSS feeds, it could bring all the latest jobs instantly as and when it is posted on the Internet.

Currently my students are making use of the site. I believe the site would be useful to many others. Please circulate this message to those who are interested..

Physics news on Phys.org
Of course, www.jobs.ac.uk does this for the UK - and sometimes further afield.
 
yes, I included rss feeds from such half a dozen sites already. if anybody suggests more related feeds I would add them all.
 
I think you might have missed one of the most important job site for physics - the APS Career Center. I don't see any RSS feed for that one.

TQ for the info. One could generate rss from this site. Please check back http://physicsjobs.blogspot.com now. Jobs from APS are now included. Thanks again
