As you may have noticed, we have a new feature on Nature Network Boston: a listing of science jobs in Massachusetts. We have about 80 jobs listed—most are in the Boston area, from places like Harvard and MIT and also from industry. We’re working with our colleagues with Naturejobs to bring you these job postings and to provide you with the ability to apply for the jobs online. If you’re looking to hire people, you can also post jobs for free on NNB.

Have a look and let us know how we can improve the jobs section.

On the subject of jobs and careers, Naturejobs has recently published a very practical story about how to do that essential “gut-check”: facing the tough questions of whether you should stay in or leave academic science, and what else you could do instead. Essential reading I think for not just grad students or postdocs, but anyone considering a career change.
