How much does it cost to post?
Departmental members of APSA can place an unlimited number of job posts for no additional charge. Please note, individual memberships do not confer department member benefits. Individual memberships do not have access to post positions on eJobs. Departments and institutions that are not APSA members may post a job for $300 for the initial one-month job posting, and then $150 for each additional month.

Who can post?
Only departments or institutions have the ability to post job advertisements.  Individual members must be linked to a department or institution in order to post a job. If you have questions about being linked to a departmental or institutional APSA account, please reach our membership team at (202) 483-2512 or ejobs@apsanet.org.

How do I post a job listing?
Once logged in to an individual account that is linked to a departmental account, click your name at the top of the page.  On the right hand side, under APSA resources, click “Access eJobs”.  You will want to enter as an employer, and click continue.  Next, choose “Add A New Job”.  From that point you will be able to fill in any information that you would like to be included in the listing.  Once you have filled in the necessary information, click “Add Job Listing”.  

How do I edit a job post?
The department chair or institutional contact, whose account is linked to the department, should login to their APSA account and then click on their name at the top of the screen. Then select “Access eJobs” under the APSA Resources list on the right hand side. Click on the “Employers” radio button and choose the job post you would like to edit.

How do I update the search status for a job?
