myScience Job Portal

Review:

myScience Job Portal is hosted by myScience, an online publication for global scientific news and events. The platform lists a wide variety of science-focused job opportunities and attracts skilled candidates in astronomy, physics, engineering, research, and related sectors.

The job board's more notable hiring tools include employer profiles, discounted bulk posting plans, and job distribution to other career websites. However, the platform's local foothold is not as strong as some U.S.-based competitors, such as AcademicJobsOnline.Org.

• Listings are added to the platform's national portals to attract job seekers from other countries, such as France and Germany.
• Employers can add their company profile to the site's directory and all job posts include a company logo.
• The job board has been used by a wide variety of prominent U.S. organizations, including Amazon and Cornell University.

Cons:

• Unlike some competitors, such as Physics Today Jobs, myScience Job Portal does not offer a free job posting plan.
• Pricing is not available in U.S. dollars.
