I’ve got a position to fill
Using Academic Jobs Board
How do I contact an educator?
You can contact an educator by creating a job and sending it to them. We suggest that you shortlist the educators that seem like the best match first and then contact them in your prefered order.
I can't find the right field of expertise for the job opportunity.
We have used the field for expertise from the Australian government which is similar to that used in the USA and Europe/UK. There are also emerging areas that don't fit neatly into traditional disciplines. We suggest using this ABS page to find your discipline/s and to complement the classification with the tag system we have provided.
I haven't heard back from an educator, what should I do?
People's circumstances change from time to time. You are able to nudge them to respond. Otherwise you may need to contact someone else.

I've been asked for extra documentation. Is that normal?
It is quite common for people looking to hire to ask for a transcript (to see which subjects you personally have studied), teacher evaluations (for feedback on your teaching), and compliance documents like a working with children check. Some institutions have not done this in the past however it is becoming more common as institutions seek to maintain compliance.
