With the job application season around the corner once again, I thought it might be helpful to share a few relatively new resources spearheaded by astronomers, for astronomers. The AAS Job Register is starting to branch out to advertise more than just academic jobs, but here are additional resources to help you access the broader range of jobs we have the skills to excel in.
AstroBetter advice post on how to organize a Career Panel at your home institution
Facebook Group -- Jobs for Astronomers
LinkedIn Group of 'former astronomers who now work outside of academia'
AstroBetter Career Paths Wiki
Additional resources that have been around for awhile:
AAS Career Resource Page
Academic and non-academic career networks
If you know of additional useful resources, please post them!
Note: Besides serving on the CSWA, I am the liaison with the AAS Employment Committee (EC). Thanks to Kelle Cruz, new chair of the AAS EC, for sharing these!
The AAS Committee on the Status of Women in Astronomy maintains this blog to disseminate information relevant to astronomers who identify as women and share the perspectives of astronomers from varied backgrounds. If you have an idea for a blog post or topic, please submit a short pitch (less than 300 words). The views expressed on this site are not necessarily the views of the CSWA, the AAS, its Board of Trustees, or its membership.
