For an additional $20, employers can feature their ad, making it appear at the top of the general listing and search results. Note: The option to post featured ads will be disabled if the number of featured ads reaches 10. Employers may post one position per ad, unless the positions are strictly identical. For example, a single ad may specify the opportunity to apply for five fellowships, or two lecturer positions with identical job descriptions; however, a single ad may not contain a listing for one non-tenure track associate professor in applied ethics and one tenure track professor in modern philosophy. This will make it easier for job seekers to find positions relevant to their capabilities.
