Nurture your science career with the new-look naturejobs.com

Over the past 12 years, we’ve worked hard to craft the Naturejobs website into an eminent career resource for scientists. In that time, with your help, we’ve become the largest dedicated jobs board for the scientific community worldwide. That’s why we’re excited to share the new naturejobs.com with you.

The re-launched site offers a fresh new look and improved functionality that lets you search, save and apply for jobs even more quickly and easily. Here’s how the new site can help you with your job search and career development:

  • Apply for jobs faster by uploading your CV and cover letter to your account
  • Find exactly the right job using the advanced search option, now delivered via filters on the left-hand side of your search results
  • Get jobs that match your search keywords sent to you by email using  our improved job alert sign-up process
  • Easily find useful science career news and features in our archive by filtering articles by date, discipline, career stage and more
  • See the very latest updates on science careers and jobs news via the Naturejobs Twitter feed, which has been integrated into the site

We’ll shortly be reinstating the career toolkit section with improved and expanded content, and there’s also a new section dedicated to employers.

This is just the first phase of the new naturejobs.com – watch out for further new features and improvements to the site over the coming weeks.

We hope you find the changes helpful. If you have any questions about the new site, please get in touch via our contact us page.

Welcome to the new Naturejobs blog

You may have noticed we’ve given the Naturejobs homepage a minor spring clean – we’re still making a few tweaks, but the search box is both more prominent and streamlined, news and features are easier to find and we’ve added this new blog. We’ll be using the blog to post short news items to help keep you up-to-date with the latest developments affecting the job landscape for scientists, and we’ll also be including more provocative pieces to promote discussion and debate.

As with any blog, we’re looking for interaction with you, our readers – so please let us know what you think in the comments section. If there’s something you’d like to see covered, just let us know – we’ll consider all suggestions.

Most of the posts will come from me, Rachel Bowden – I’m the Naturejobs web editor – but we’ll also be looking for guest bloggers to contribute in the future, so watch this space.

The changes are the first phase of a larger project to make the Naturejobs website more useful to jobseekers and employers. We’re also putting together a short online survey about the website so you can have your say, so please watch out for it – your answers will help make the website better for everyone.
