Frequently asked questions

It's free. Searching jobs, job alerts, saving jobs and storing your CV cost nothing, so you will never miss a job.

If you recruit for a university, college or other higher education institution, you can add as many standard job listings as you like at no cost. If you want a listing to stand out, we offer fair and affordable premium listings.

To keep things fair, premium listings are priced according to the country your institution is in. For prices and options, please contact us.

No. You can search and read every job without an account.

You will need a free account to create job alerts, save jobs, get "closing soon" reminders, store your CV or post jobs. You can sign up with your email address, or in one click with your Google, Microsoft or LinkedIn account.

If you signed up with your Google, Microsoft or LinkedIn account, you don't have a UniJobs password. Just use the same button on the sign in page. If you have forgotten that account's password, reset it with Google, Microsoft or LinkedIn.

If you signed up with your email address, go to reset your password, enter your email address and we will send you a link to choose a new one. If it doesn't arrive within a few minutes, check your spam or junk folder.

Use the Report this job link on the job's page, or our contact page. Tell us what concerns you, for example if a listing looks fake, is misleading, asks you to pay a fee, or is offensive. We look at every report.

We check listings too: recruiters must be verified for their institution, an institution's first job is reviewed by our team, and every listing goes through automatic checks. Even so, please take care. A genuine employer will never ask you to pay to apply, and you should never send bank details or ID documents to someone you haven't confirmed works for the institution.

For questions about the job itself, such as the duties or the closing date, please contact the institution using the details in the listing.

As set out in our Terms and Conditions, listings are provided by recruiters, and UniJobs.ac can't guarantee they are accurate.

If you sign in with Google, Microsoft or LinkedIn, your email address comes from that account.

If you signed up with an email address, please contact us from your current address, tell us the new one, and we will change it for you.

Tap the bookmark icon on any job, in search results or on the job's page. You will find all your saved jobs on your saved jobs page, with the ones closing soonest at the top.

We will also email you a reminder two days before a saved job closes. You can switch these reminders off on the same page.

Yes. Add your CV (PDF or Word, up to 5 MB) on your profile.

Your CV is encrypted before it is stored and kept outside the public website. Only you can download it while signed in, and we don't share it with recruiters. You can replace or permanently delete it at any time. See our Privacy Policy for more.

Go to your profile and choose Delete my account at the bottom of the page.

This permanently erases your name, email address, password, photo, CV and sign-in links, and stops your job alerts. It can't be undone. If you manage an institution, its jobs stay on the site, so let us know if a colleague should take over first.

Yes, and you don't need an app store. On your phone:

• Android: tap Install when we offer it, or open your browser menu and choose Install app or Add to Home screen.
• iPhone or iPad: in Safari, tap the Share button, then Add to Home Screen.

UniJobs then opens from your home screen like any other app.

First, check your alerts on your job alerts page:

• Is the alert paused? Tap Resume to switch it back on.
• Is it weekly or daily? A weekly alert only arrives once a week. You can switch it to daily.
• Are there any new matches? We only email you when new jobs match your search. If your search is very narrow, try fewer keywords or a wider location, and save a new alert.

If that all looks right, check your spam or junk folder and add UniJobs.ac to your safe senders. You can also check the email address on your account is correct.

To create an alert: search for jobs using keywords, subject, location or any other filters, then tap Save this search. If you aren't signed in, we will ask you to sign in or sign up first.

To manage your alerts: go to your job alerts page. From there you can:

• switch an alert between daily and weekly emails,
• pause or resume an alert,
• delete an alert.

To change what an alert searches for, run the new search, save it as a new alert and delete the old one. Every alert email also has a one-click unsubscribe link.

Sign in and go to My jobs. Find the job, open the Actions menu and choose Edit. Make your changes and tap Save changes.

Changes normally go live straight away. Occasionally our automatic checks ask our team to take a quick look first. If that happens, the job shows as in review and we will email you when it's live.

Sign in, go to My jobs, and open the Actions menu next to the job:

• Close takes the job off the site but keeps it in your list, so you can publish it again later.
• Delete removes it permanently. This can't be undone, so if you delete a job by mistake you will need to create it again.

Jobs also close automatically after their closing date.

To keep candidates safe, some jobs get a quick check by our team before they go live. This always applies to an institution's first job, and sometimes to others our automatic checks flag.

You don't need to do anything. We usually review jobs within one working day and email you as soon as your job is live, or tell you why if we can't publish it.

Anyone who recruits for a university, college or other higher education institution can post jobs, free of charge.

To keep candidates safe, you will first need to sign up and claim your institution. We will ask for a letter of authority and photo ID to confirm you can recruit for it. Once you are verified you can post as many jobs as you like. Your institution's first job is checked by our team before it goes live, usually within one working day. After that, jobs publish straight away.

If you want a listing to stand out, premium listings are available. They are priced according to the country your institution is in. For details, please contact us.

No. Your name and account email address are never shown on your listings.

Candidates only see what you put in the listing itself, including the application link or email address you give for applications. If you don't want your own email shown, use an application link or a shared recruitment email address.

You can add any paid or unpaid role at a university, higher education institution, college or research institute. That includes academic, research, PhD, professional services, technical and support roles.

Jobs can be based anywhere in the world, or be remote.

Listings must be in English, accurate, and advertised with your institution's permission. They must never ask applicants to pay a fee.

In line with our Terms and Conditions, we will remove listings that are misleading, offensive, or promote harassment, hate or violence.

As many as you like, as long as you have permission to advertise them.

Every job on UniJobs.ac is searchable and appears in job alerts. If you want your job to stand out, you can upgrade to a premium listing for a small fee.

To keep things fair, premium listings are priced according to the country your institution is in. For prices, please contact us.

Every job on UniJobs.ac is searchable, appears in job alerts and is sent to Google for Jobs.

A premium listing adds extra visibility so that your job stands out. It is featured in prominent places such as the home page and near the top of search results, and it is highlighted to candidates whose alerts match.

For prices, please contact us.

If we remove a job or don't publish it, we email you the reason. You can also see it in My jobs. Common reasons are:

• the job has been posted more than once
• the listing is inaccurate, misleading or not in English
• it asks applicants to pay a fee, or to send bank or ID details up front
• the application link or email address doesn't belong to the institution
• it is offensive or promotes harassment, hate or violence
• you don't have permission to advertise the role

If a job wasn't published, you can edit it and submit it again from My jobs. See our Terms and Conditions for details, or contact us if you think we have made a mistake.

Please use our contact form and give us as much detail as you can, and we will get back to you.
