Search Tips

Here are some useful tips to help you with your keyword searches. Once you've run a keyword search, you can apply filters (job category, institution, location). You can also browse jobs by simply selecting a filter.

Type your word(s) or phrase(s) into the Keyword box. Searches are not case sensitive, so you don’t need to capitalize. There are several ways to construct your keyword search:

1. ENTER ONE WORD
   
   Your search will return every job posting containing that word.
   
   Example: architecture
2. ENTER A PHRASE:
   
   Enclose a phrase in quotation marks to return only job postings containing that exact phrase.
   
   Example: “Medieval history” or "tenure track"
3. MULTIPLE KEYWORDS OR PHRASES:
   
   If you enter several words/phrases, your search will return only job postings containing all of the words/phrases.
   
   Example: tenure track medieval history
4. SEARCH TIPS:
   
   Use the plus (+) symbol to include words and/or the minus (-) symbol to exclude words
   
   Examples:
   
   business +accounting -marketing
   
   student +services -admissions
5. MULTIPLE PHRASES:
   
   Enter several words/phrases separated by the word OR to find every job posting containing at least one of the words/phrases
   
   Examples:
   
   "tenure track" OR tenured
   
   "distance education" OR "online learning"
