1. What can I find and do here?

TedJob.com is a leading Internet higher-education job marketplace. You can find and apply for positions related to universities, colleges, and other academic organizations. Jobs include administrative staff, executive positions, faculty, postdoctoral and graduate- assistant positions. You can also promote yourself by posting your resume and submitting your resume to employers. Furthermore, you can keep informed of the latest jobs by creating an e-mail alert or RSS feed.

2. Why are results outside my search distance displayed?

To ensure the best server performance, we use an algorithm that may return around 25 percent of the results that are located between 1 and 1.4 times of your search distance. We guarantee that all of the results within your search distance will be displayed.

3. What is RSS and how do I use it?

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is a technology that allows Internet users to subscribe to Websites that have provided RSS feeds.

A program known as a "feed reader" or "aggregator" can check RSS-enabled Web pages on behalf of a user and display any updated articles that it finds. Web-based feed readers and news aggregators require no software installation and make the users’ "feeds" available on any computer with Web access.

On TedJob.com, you can retrieve the latest jobs according to your search conditions. When searching, the "XML rss 2.0 feed" on the top right of the page, is the link you should put into your RSS feed reader or aggregator.

4. What is e-mail alert and how do I use it?

E-mail alert is a service that offers the last jobs posted on TedJob.com via e-mail every day, every week, or every month. When searching, the "e-mail alert" on the top right of the page, is the link you should follow to set up your e-mail alert for that search condition.
