About Job Guide
The H-Net Job Guide offers academic position announcements in History and the Humanities, the Social Sciences, and Rhetoric and Composition. A weekly index of job advertisements is distributed to the H-Net membership via LISTSERV. The Job Guide is fully sortable and searchable and is available at no cost to the jobseeker. Often receiving more than 50,000 page views per week, the Job Guide is one of H-Net's most visible components.
H-Net sponsors over 150 free electronic, interactive lists edited and maintained by over 500 volunteer editors, and mailed to 160,000 subscribers from over 90 counties. These e-mail lists function as electronic networks, linking professionals, teachers and students in discussions and in the exchange of ideas and materials. H-Net networks span the world, from American studies to Southeast Asian studies; span time, from medieval Islam to modern America; span disciplines, from political science to sports literature; and span diverse audiences from the academe, educational community, and broader public.
H-Net Job guide is an excellent resource for advertising job openings. H-Net serves a broad audience, including graduate students, K-12 teachers, archivists, librarians, interested professionals and the educated general public. This makes the Job Guide a suitable place for a wide range of academic and nonacademic jobs. It also allows both for wide distribution of advertisements and for finding target audiences. To find out more about submitting a job advertisement, go to submit a job.
To offset the continuing and considerable costs of maintaining and improving the H-Net Job Guide, a nominal payment of $115(US currency) is expected. Yet, as always, H-Net considers the Job Guide a service to the academic community, and is thus willing to provide this service free of charge to those institutions or NPOs genuinely unable to make payment.

H-Net Job Advertisement Posting Policies
H-Net Job Guide is committed to the principle of equal opportunity for all prospective employees. In accordance with United States laws governing hiring practices, H-Net Job Guide does not publish Job Advertisements that discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, or status as a disabled or Vietnam-era Veteran (except in those cases where federal law allows specific preferences in hiring). Exceptions are made for private religious institutions that require church membership or practice of specific religious beliefs as a requirement for hiring. Advertisements for jobs outside the United States cannot violate this discrimination policy but may include a statement informing applicants that there may be additional hiring or screening requirements.
Submissions made to H-Net Job Guide are automatically sent to H-Net Job Guide Staff. On approval, the submissions will be posted to the website. The process will be completed within three business days (although often the process will be completed in less time). During peak job search times the process may take up to five days to complete.
H-Net Job Guide Staff reserves the right to edit job advertisements for content and length, and to ask for changes and clarifications. H-Net Job Guide Staff will clear all edits with the contact person or institution before posting.
Job Advertisements posted on H-Net Job Guide will have a specified closing date. Requests for extensions should be made to H-Net Job Guide Staff; their contact information is listed below. Job Advertisements posted on H-Net Job Guide can be canceled or modified; frequent requests for modifications of advertisements may trigger an additional fee. Closed jobs remain in the H-Net database indefinitely and will be publicly accessible to users as part of the H-Net Job Guide Archive. To cancel or modify your job advertisements, please contact the H-Net Staff at jobguide@mail.h-net.msu.edu.
H-Net's practice regarding Job Advertisement delinquent payments is as follows: if an organization has an outstanding balance for more then 90 days we will no longer accept job postings from it until we receive the balance on the account or suitable arrangements have been made.
H-Net Job Guide Staff reserves the right to reject any job advertisement for any reason consistent with this policy. Payment for a rejected advertisement will not be processed.
