SUMMARY

The primary resource for finding tenure track professorships in science and engineering at US universities is the Chronicle of Higher Education, accessible at http://chronicle.com/jobs/100/. For physics positions specifically, the recommended site is Physics Today, found at http://www.physicstoday.org/jobs/. Policies regarding job postings may differ among institutions, but many require advertisements in the Chronicle and relevant field-specific platforms.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of academic job markets
  • Familiarity with online job boards
  • Knowledge of tenure track positions
  • Awareness of field-specific job resources
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the Chronicle of Higher Education job listings
  • Explore Physics Today for physics-related job openings
  • Investigate other field-specific job boards for engineering positions
  • Learn about university policies on faculty job postings
USEFUL FOR

Academics seeking tenure track positions, university administrators involved in hiring, and job seekers in the fields of science and engineering.

Is there a website that most US universities use to post open positions for science & engineering tenure track professorships?

Regards
 
Physics news on Phys.org
For physics, the standard site is

http://www.physicstoday.org/jobs/

In general, most academic positions are probably advertised in the Chronicle of Higher Education:

http://chronicle.com/jobs/100/

Policies on posting open faculty positions probably vary from one college/university to another. Where I teach, all open faculty positions must be advertised in the Chronicle, at least. They're usually also advertised in field-specific sites such as Physics Today, or the equivalent in other fields.
 
Sweet. That is exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you!
