A New & Improved Resource for the Science Job Hunt

It's that time of year when graduate school, fellowship, and job application deadlines loom. Whether you're considering graduate school or looking for your first postdoc or permanent job, it's good to know where to find help on the web. Luckily, Science magazine has revamped its careers section, creating ScienceCareers.org, which is a merger between ScienceCareers and Science's Next Wave websites. The website hosts job ads, funding opportunities, and advice columns on working your way up the career ladder. There is also a moderated careers forum, where you can post questions regarding career dilemmas, such as when to return a research grant, obstacles facing minority women, and questions regarding "alternative" careers (defined essentially as anything other than your graduate advisor's job description).
