Naturejobs, the Scientific Careers Magazine From Nature, Unveils Category-Killer Website for Scientific Recruiters and Jobseekers
The world’s best online scientific careers magazine just gets even better. In a continued effort to improve its service, Naturejobs launches a totally new online ‘scientific careers magazine’ June 16, 2005. This comes a week after Naturejobs earned the prestigious Editor & Publisher and Mediaweek’s EPpy Award for Best Internet Classified Service. The awards honor the best sites associated with the media. Naturejobs beat a strong field, including finalist runner-ups from the Boston Globe and Apartments.com. Other category winners included NYTimes.com, MSNBC.com, Slate Magazine and others.
(PRWEB) June 19, 2005 -- The focus of the new naturejobs.com, The Online
Career Magazine for Scientists, will be to offer jobseekers from across the
boundaries of discipline, geography and level a complete careers portal for
scientific career news and information plus the most complete choices of the
best jobs in science.
Those that love the long-standing features of the
Naturejobs web site (such as the weekly must-read Prospects article, a section
focusing on big science news and immediate career impacts) shouldn’t worry. Most
of the cornerstone sections will be incorporated into this new site.
“We
understand that career management is a hugely important issue and even more so
among scientists. A huge commitment in the number years of formal education,
thesis work, training time as a postdoc are spent getting one’s credentials in
order,” claimed Ben Crowe, the Publisher of Naturejobs. “A job for life is a
relic of the 20th century. From recent focus groups and talking to students and
researchers at our career fairs we determined that very little career management
support is offered to scientists in the educational phases and little, if any,
after.”
Naturejobs’ mission is to fill these gaps and demand answers to
all the big career issues in science: Where is government money going? What new
centers or initiatives are underway? After 2 years as a postdoc on one problem,
what skills do you need to work in an emerging field?
New elements of
naturejobs.com:
Naturejobs is offering this new Web site after careful
deliberation and analysis. It is clear to Naturejobs that the following new and
improved elements are paramount to jobseekers:
• Fast, easy job
searching, with an increasing breadth and depth of jobs.
• 600+ news articles
and in-depth reports on scientific career issues, available free. No
memberships, affiliations or subscriptions necessary.
• More ways to
participate and interact with other jobseekers. User polls take the pulse and
display the results of the Naturejobs users. Forums on career-related issues and
questions will appear soon. A ‘Careers Expert’ will be online to take your
queries and post their advice on important issues.
• ‘Hires & Fires’
section posting news on major reorganizations, and new facilities opening
up.
• Finding out what other jobseekers are reading and keeping track of top
job searches or scientific articles read around Naturejobs.
• Graduate or
student? A life scientist? A physical scientist, perhaps? Naturejobs has
content, tools, links and information specifically for you.
• Paid what
you’re worth? Salary differentials from across the industry – compiled and
ranked so you’re not short-changed.
• New ‘Spotlights and Regions’ section
with an interactive map. Here you can click on the part of the world you may be
moving to and browse all the articles, jobs and more in that region. Get the
insight, and then pack your bags.
More for advertisers and recruiters
too.
Advertisers and Recruiters don’t go unnoticed in the redesign. Come
to our ‘Advertisers and Recruiters’ home page to learn more, whether it is
advice on writing a good recruitment advertisement or interaction with other
recruiters on our Forums.
Not that Naturejobs doesn’t already deliver
value to advertisers. It has by far the highest traffic (1.7 million page views
month, and 445,000 unique users) of any science job board, and offers its
groundbreaking Naturejobs Job Matching service that carefully matches jobs from
Naturejobs to pages of relevant Nature content, essentially capturing 33 million
page views per month. With the new Naturejobs we are certain more people will
come for longer visits and become advocates of the site.
