EcoEvoJobs

http://ecoevojobs.net/ is a great website that tracks available jobs in (largely) academia for people with a PhD in evolution, ecology, and related fields. It has info on the timeline of searches, often insider information on what conditions are like at the institution (is the job available because they keep firing professors or due to a recent exciting expansion?) and more. It’s a Google Sheet that gets a lot of traffic and represents tremendous community service by “Anonymous Potato”, the person who moderates the site (see an interview with them here).

I have here just the first few columns from the site in a reactive table so that you can sort or filter jobs without affecting the sorting for anyone else. The jobs are refreshed when you load the page (so if you leave this in a tab open for weeks, it will not update). Go to http://ecoevojobs.net/ for more information on each job. You can type in the “Search” box to filter (for example, type “Open” to match “Open Rank” and “Rank Open” jobs). Note that VS Code local agents were used to help create the javascript code to filter the table and pass it to dataTables for formatting; this StackOverflow answer by Stevie Howard was used to get the appropriate URL from http://ecoevojobs.net/. Folks considering applying to these jobs might also be interested in my https://collegetables.info site, which has info on faculty trends, majors, location, and much more for nearly all US colleges and universities.
