How It Works

Earlham is participating in The Chronicle of Higher Education's contracted advertising plan. By agreeing to place a specified number of display ads during a calendar year, Earlham receives a discount on advertising space and can post an Employer Profile at the Chronicle's Web site. This profile lessens the need to repeat general college information within individual department's position advertisements and enables us to provide links to Earlham's Web site for even more information.

• Earlham College's Employer Profile at the Chronicle's Web site.

A candidate who is using the Chronicle's online Career Network can link from the position announcement to the Employer Profile and on to the College Web site. Each announcement is posted on the Web for 30 days, and we receive a report of visits to the site at the conclusion of the posting. For example, within a few days of the conclusion of our advertising, we know that our ad for a Science Librarian was viewed 264 times. The print edition of Career Network features a checkmark icon by ads of participating schools and a list of the schools on the inside back cover.

To reach our contracted number of ads per year, we need all ads to be processed through the Public Affairs Office. Only ads coming through Public Affairs may be counted toward our contract. Earlham's typical display ads measure one column wide by 3 or 4 inches high.

Advertisements for Teaching Faculty Positions

1. Notify Janice Bragg and the Academic Dean's Office that you are ready to place the ad for your search.

2. Draft the body content for your advertisement as a Word document and send it to Janice. Ad content must not exceed 50 words of text (unless your department has additional resources to cover the additional cost).

3. Janice will let the Public Affairs Office know about your request.

4. Public Affairs will layout your ad and share a proof with you.
