The KBC Communications office can help you with expanding your candidate search by posting a job announcement at NatureCareers and Academic Positions.
KBC has collaboration NatureCareers (former NatureJobs) and Academic Positions for announcing open positions and fellowships. This allows posting recruitment ads for a reduced price and expanding candidate search internationally to find highly qualified candidates.
The KBC Communications officers assist in posting the position/fellowship adverts (our services are completely free of charge!), and the KBC's financial administrator sends internal invoices to the recruiting researchers.
This service is open to all researchers from the KBC environment and all life science-oriented departments/centres/units at Umeå University and SLU Umeå.
NEW 2024! Requests from other departments will be also considered depending on the KBC Communications Office workload at the time.
Please contact info.kbc@umu.se if you need more information or would like to post a recruitment ad at NatureCareers or Adacemic Positions.
Job announcements at NatureCareers
Since June 2024, KBC has had a contract with NatureCareers for an annual unlimited jobs feed. Under this contract, all job ads from the KBC package will be announced as "branded" adverts for up to 60 days of posting time with a more than 65% discount from the original price per ad. The price per ad for the current job ad package is 3 505SEK (incl. overheads).
(Note! The prices for high visibility upgrades will be soon adjusted for the renewed contract with NatureCareers since February 2025)
We can also offer you the opportunity to publish a Premium listingad for 9 158 SEK (with a 25 % discount on the original price). These premium listings are excellent for high-priority jobs, massively increase your visibility on the site, and typically receive three times more applications than Branded ads.
If you would be interested in other options for upgrading your recruitment post for higher visibility, please check below (the prices in parentheses will be applied on top of the price of a branded job ad and invoiced separately):
- Upgrade to Enhanced listing that receives higher prioritisation than our current Branded level (+ 105 GBP);
- ‘Job of the week’ feature that is applied to a single job for the total week (+ 557 GBP);
- A featured job option, which refers to the 3 featured jobs on rotation on the site (+ 269 GBP).
Please note that the actual price per ad is affected by the changes in the currency exchange rates.
