Historically, the UW has required that online ads for competitive recruitments for faculty run in the Chronicle of Higher Education. Effective June 2, 2026, UW is expanding the group of acceptable online recruitment venues as follows.
Online ads may now run in:
- The Chronicle of Higher Education
- Other higher-ed recruitment sites, e.g. Higher Ed Jobs or HERC
- Any other jobs website closely associated with a national professional journal in the appropriate field. Examples include, but are not limited to:
- careers.jamanetwork.com (for the Journal of the American Medical Association)
- mathjobs.org (for journals published by the American Mathematical Society)
- jobs.acm.org (for journals published by the Association for Computing Machinery)
- jobs.physicstoday.org (for the journal Physics Today)
- www.nature.com/naturecareers/jobs/ (for the journal Nature)
- www.aeaweb.org/joe/listings (for journals published by the American Economic Association)
Other requirements for competitive recruitment have not changed. Units are responsible for retaining:
- A complete copy of the ad as it ran in the relevant venue (including publication date, cover, page number, and/or URL if relevant)
- Proof that the ad ran for 30 days or more (usually a receipt from the venue showing publication dates)
Print ads may still run in any national professional print journal.
