In discussion on the earlier thread, David Buller (Northern Illinois) and Harry Brighouse (Wisconsin) discussed the possibility of setting up (here or elsewhere) an on-line resource for departments to post job ads, with links to university or "human resources" websites (as a check on accuracy). (See the earlier discussion, at the link above, for some of the issues that arose.) I was open to doing this, but have now been informed that such a site is in the works by folks with considerably more programming experience than me. I am told it will be ready in the next few weeks. I will certainly post a link when it is public.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: It turns out that philosophers David Morrow (Alabama/Birmingham) and Chris Sula (Pratt Institute) have created a jobs site! Theirs was not the one I was referring to, but it looks like it has the relevant features in place to ensure reliability (e.g., no anonymous postings, links to university sites required, etc.). So before long we may have two such sites, but I hope departments will begin taking advantage of this one.
