Reader query on finding CC and foreign jobs

In the comments section of our newest "how can we help you?" thread, Tom writes:

So, you've had posts on this before, but I would love it if we did it again:

Where, other than philjobs, should I go to look for philosophy jobs? More specifically:

o If I want to job at a community college, where do I find them advertised?
o If I want a job in Italy, where are those posted?
o How about it I want a job in India?
o etc.

Anyone who can answer any one of these questions will be doing us all a huge favor. Answers of the form `here is a link to several job descriptions' are also waaaaay more appreciated than answers of the form `you have to look hard', since having examples of what I'm looking for often helps making the search easier.

This is a really great query. I expect a fair number of candidates don't even apply to a lot of good community college and foreign jobs simply out of ignorance of their existence. And indeed, as a former job-candidate, I know I didn't apply for many of these jobs because I didn't know where they are advertised.

In reply to Tom's query, Nick Z. wrote:

Most community college jobs are posted on HigherEdJobs and the Chronicle. Even this late in the summer there are two full-time teaching positions posted at the former, one in Buffalo, NY, and the other in Plano, TX. (Both positions are made even more attractive by their proximity to the border, just in case the political, social, and economic conditions of the US get even crazier.) Philjobs rarely posts community college positions.

Nick Z.'s suggestions are helpful, but still, I wonder whether it is true that "most" CC job are advertised in those venues, and it's still unclear to me where most foreign jobs are advertised. Although I don't know for sure, I have to believe there are far more philosophy jobs in Continental Europe, South America, Asia, and elsewhere that aren't advertised on any of the above websites (I've recently met philosophers who work in places like Colombia, Spain, and Sweden, yet I don't recall seeing jobs in those places advertised on the above websites).

Anyone have any insight on these matters? Tom suggested that I might throw up another side-bar on the Cocoon where people could list jobs not advertised on philjobs, and I think this might be a good thing to do. But it would also be helpful, I think, if people just knew where to look for such jobs themselves!

I don't know about jobs in Italy specifically, but many jobs in Europe are advertised on Philos-l: https://listserv.liv.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa?A0=PHILOS-L

HigherEdJobs is probably the best place to look for CC jobs but also check the Chronicle and Philjobs. I've seen a few community college jobs posted on glassdoor. Sadly, the interface for that site is a nightmare to navigate (or at least it is when it comes to academic jobs). My advice is look everywhere if you're looking for CC jobs. Most will be posted on HigherEdJobs, but some won't. Look on the Chronicle, philjobs, and even Glassdoor as well.

As mentioned above, many jobs (Europe and elsewhere) are posted on the Philos-L list. You can filter for 'JOB' or 'JOBS:' to get only jobs.
Another place is www.jobs.ac.uk, obviously mostly for UK jobs but not only.

Just to second what Noam said - Philos-L is the place for a lot of European opportunities (not just jobs).

For CC jobs in California, you definitely need to be looking at the California Community Colleges Registry at https://www.cccregistry.org/jobs/index.aspx

In my experience, not all CA CC jobs will end up at HigherEdjobs.com. This past year CA had a huge drop off in tenure-track CC jobs, but there were 12-20 TT jobs in each of the two years prior to the drop off.

Jobs is Australasia are often posted on Philos-L, but you may also want to check the AAP's website: https://aap.org.au/jobs.

Job seekers should note that some jobs in Australasia do not follow the typical North American, UK, and Europe cycle since the academic year runs from (roughly) March through November, southern autumn to southern spring.

Jobs in Italy are posted here: http://bandi.miur.it/

Philosophy jobs are under categories 11 C.

Jobs are posted all year long so if you look for a job in Italy you should check the website regularly.
