Previously, all job postings had to go through me, resulting in the posts arriving in spurts. Last week I sent out the enclosed email message to everybody who had submitted an approved job posting within the last year (more than 600 companies). From now on, I'm assuming that any company that submitted a valid post in the past is responsible enough to submit only valid posts in the future. The moderation program now transmits posts from people on the approved list without requiring human intervention. The mailing list will still kick out obviously misdirected subscription requests from these people. The net result is less work for me, and more timely job postings for you. Mark Kantrowitz, moderator mkant@cs.cmu.edu Greetings, Sometime during the past year, a job announcement, postdoc announcement, or predoctoral studentship announcement relating to Artificial Intelligence, Lisp, or Prolog was either posted by you to one of the following mailing lists, or was forwarded by a third party to one of these mailing lists: AI-Jobs ai+ai-jobs@cs.cmu.edu Lisp-Jobs ai+lisp-jobs@cs.cmu.edu Prolog-Jobs ai+prolog-jobs@cs.cmu.edu AI-Postdoc ai+ai-postdoc@cs.cmu.edu AI-Predoc ai+ai-predoc@cs.cmu.edu The purpose of this email message is to provide you with information about these mailing lists and the requirements for submitting an announcement to one or more of these lists. My apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message. Best regards, Mark Kantrowitz mkant@cs.cmu.edu PURPOSE OF THE LISTS These mailing lists exist to help programmers, researchers, and students find AI, Lisp, and Prolog programming and research positions, and to help companies with AI, Lisp, and Prolog programming and research positions to find capable AI, Lisp, and Prolog programmers, researchers, and students. LIST STATISTICS Subscribers as of November 8, 1995: AI-Jobs 578 com (17%) edu (42%) org (3%) gov (2%) itl (32%) Lisp-Jobs 433 com (34%) edu (33%) org (3%) gov (3%) itl (25%) Prolog-Jobs 187 com (14%) edu (27%) org (<1%) gov (1%) itl (55%) AI-Postdoc 244 com (4%) edu (43%) org (<1%) gov (<1%) itl (49%) AI-Predoc 119 com (10%) edu (30%) org (<1%) gov (<1%) itl (58%) Job Postings since January 1, 1995: AI-Jobs 575 Lisp-Jobs 175 Prolog-Jobs 38 AI-Postdoc 53 AI-Predoc 49 As a matter of policy, the list of subscribers is considered confidential and will not be disclosed to anybody. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS These mailing lists are moderated. Announcements not meeting the following requirements will be rejected: 1. Material appropriate for these job mailing lists include AI, Lisp, and Prolog job announcements and AI predoctoral and postdoctoral fellowships. 2. All announcements must be of genuine positions. Resumes and discussion are not permitted. 3. The postings must be directly related to the purpose of the list. For example, a C++ job announcement should not be sent to the AI-Jobs mailing list unless the position requires significant AI expertise. AI expertise must not be merely "desirable", but a specific job requirement. 4. Cross-posting between the various AI job lists is permitted, provided the post is clearly germaine to each list. 5. Churning is not permitted. You may post the same job announcement no more than once a month. If there was a significant error in a previous job announcement, you may repost a corrected copy. The post should indicate that it is a corrected copy near the top of the announcement and should summarize the corrected information. 5. ** SUBJECT LINE FORMATTING REQUIREMENTS ** The goal of the Subject line formatting requirements is to provide enough information in a single line to enable the mailing list subscribers to decide whether to read further. The subject line formatting requirements are as follows, Type: Description at Company (Location) where - Type is "Job", "Fellowship", "Postdoc", "Internship", "Lectureship", or something similar. - Description is a short description of the job, such as a list of relevant AI fields (e.g., "NLP", "Robotics", etc.) - Company is the name of the company offering the position. If you are a recruiter, please add "[Recruiter]" after the company name. - Location is the location of the position. For example, a Speech Recognition postdoctoral appointment at CMU would have the following subject line Postdoc: Speech Recognition at Carnegie Mellon Univ. (Pittsburgh, PA) and an expert systems position at Gensym might have the following subject line Job: Real-Time Expert Systems, Lisp at Gensym (Cambridge, MA) 6. Body formatting requirements: Please use a line-length of no more than 78 characters. ARCHIVAL Job postings sent to these lists are automatically archived in appropriate subdirectories of ftp://ftp.cs.cmu.edu/user/ai/jobs/ The AI-related Job Posting Archives web page maintains links to the most recent three months of job postings at the URL http://www.cs.cmu.edu/Web/Groups/AI/html/other/jobs.html FINDERS FEES We do not accept finders fees for any jobs filled as a result of a posting to these mailing lists. If you must give a finders fee to someone, we ask that you donate it to the Free Software Foundation (675 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02139 USA; 1-617-876-3296; gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu). These mailing lists are not affiliated with the Free Software Foundation; we just like what they do. If a position was filled as a result of a posting to these lists, we would appreciate hearing about it. This isn't a requirement, just a courtesy request. It lets us know that these lists are performing a worthwhile service, and gives us a warm fuzzy feeling inside.
