A Useful List of Scientific
Recruitment and Careers Websites

 

General Scientific Job Websites
  • New Scientist Job Section
    a good website for scientists, but probably not as good as it was before it globalised. It seems to have less jobs for the London and SE region of England now than it used to. Search allows one of 3 parts of the world, and then specific regions within these including those in the UK
  • Nature Magazine 
    not as many physical science jobs, more geared for medical and biological jobs, search does allow different locations in the UK to be identified
  • Institute of Physics Jobs 
    updated very regularly
  • Royal Society of Chemistry Jobs 
    not updated very regularly so watch out for out of date jobs

 

Academic / Research in Universities

  • Science Recruitment Group: SRG Labstaff etc.
  • Briff
    easy to use jobsearch on website, however just broad regions of the country have been given and specific areas such as London have not been identified
