On-Line Academic Chemistry Employment Clearinghouse Now Available

 On-Line Academic Chemistry Employment Clearinghouse
                      Sponsored by the
 Northern Illinois University Chemistry Gopher and Web Sites
 With the increasing difficulty in locating employment in the chemistry
 community, we wish to announce a new facility to aid in the search for
 jobs in the academic chemical community. The Northern Illinois University
 Chemistry Gopher and Web sites, sponsored by a pilot grant from the
 Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation, is now operating an academic
 employment clearinghouse on the Internet. Access to this clearinghouse is
 open to all, without charge, using the gopher or world-wide web navigation
 systems. This service will list employment opportunities in the chemical
 academic community, including jobs at the professor, instructor, post-
 doctoral, and graduate research assistant levels. Employment opportunities
 will be broken down into five categories (disciplines): analytical,
 inorganic, organic and physical chemistry and biochemistry.
 How to access the Clearinghouse
 -------------------------------
 To access the clearinghouse, you must have Internet access and either a
 gopher or web client. Access via gopher can be obtained by pointing your
 gopher client at hackberry.chem.niu.edu port 70. Access via the web is
 through URL:  http://hackberry.chem.niu.edu:70/0/webpage.html
 (Please note that right now there are only three jobs posted and it
 will take some time for institutions to start to submit their ads.)
 How to Submit an Entry to the Clearinghouse
 -------------------------------------------
 Submission of a job listing is accomplished by electronic mail. The ad
 must be sent to
 	chemjob()at()hackberry.chem.niu.edu
 and the Subject: line must have the following format
 	Subject: discipline institution name
 where discipline is ANALYTICAL, BIOCHEM, INORGANIC, ORGANIC, or PHYSICAL
 (note that these terms do not have to been in caps) and the institution
 name is whatever name you wish to use as the heading of your listing. An
 example subject line is:
 	Subject: organic StarFleet Academy - Assistant Professor
 The listings will be ordered alphabetically by institution name. The body
 of the message is format free and you may include as much detailed
 information you wish. Keep in mind that while this service is offered at
 NO CHARGE, very long files can lead to problems with maintenance of the
 service. An institution may submit more than one ad. Institutions are
 encouraged to place separate entries for every position offered. Listings
 will be maintained for 45 days and then automatically deleted. Once the
 file is deleted, feel free to resubmit the ad if the position is not yet
 filled.
 Once a listing is received, a return message will be sent to confirm the
 transmission. Entries will be added to the directories at midnight (CST)
 every day.
 Questions and Comments
 ----------------------
 Please direct all questions and comments to admin()at()hackberry.chem.niu.edu.
 This is an experimental server and we are very pleased to welcome all
 suggestions for improvements! (For example, if the academic clearinghouse
 proves successful, we will open this up to industrial and government
 employment opportunities.)
