How to Post
Introduction
There are two categories of posting: jobs and everything else
Normal posting is done by emailing me at elmar@ama.org or simply replying to a Community Update.
You can also subscribe or unsubscribe through the same email.
Posting job notices is somewhat different and requires
two different steps.
1. The job document (or advertisement) must be online. You have your choice of using your university’s Web storage, a faculty member’s personal Web site, a free service like Google Disk or Dropbox or any other solution that results in a functioning URL.
2. Enter the URL for the job document, along with some other information, here:
The form asks for several data items including a Contact Email address. Note that you can use a "generic" email address ("recruiting@bigu.edu"), as long as it is an institutional address, but you must use an actual living human being for the Contact Name.
Once you complete step 2, I will automatically receive a notice and will then be in a position to queue up your ELMAR posting. ELMAR job postings generally go out on Wednesday morning, US East Coast time. My work schedule varies from week to week but to increase your chances of getting your posting out in a particular week, you should think about finishing Step 2 by the end of the day on the preceding Friday, US East Coast time.
I would very much prefer to deal with academics rather than search agency personnel. I sincerely beg you to not force me to interact with these folks. In my experience search agencies almost invariably prove incapable of following these directions. Don’t make me cry – just fill out the form yourself.
Please note that the ELMAR job service is distinct from the ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø’s Academic Placement service. While the ELMAR service is free, ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø offers additional added value to both institutions and candidates. ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø’s service runs all year, like ELMAR, but is necessary for schools wishing to interview at the ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø Summer Educators’s conference. Please see
for details.
Please do not hesitate to drop me a line if you have any questions about ELMAR. [ –ch]
