ARC: Connections: ELMAR: Posting: Position Postings
Job notices can be posted on ELMAR without charge. Job notices must prefer or require the PhD in Marketing.
To interview at the AMA Summer Educators' Conference, and for other value added services, please see AMA Academic Placement.
An ELMAR job posting is a brief computer listing that will appear on ELMAR. This listing must include a URL pointing to the full job document.
- The Job Document - Your job document must appear somewhere on the Web. If your department does not have access to any Web space, you can use the ELMAR "Files" tool (described below) to upload the document to ELMAR file space.
- The ELMAR Posting - After the job document is on the Web, you fill out a brief online form that includes your contact email, and most importantly, the URL for the job document itself. This will generate the ELMAR posting and Community Update notice.
Here are more details on each of these two components.
1. The Job Document
The job document can contain anything you want it to contain or are required to include. It is the usual job description or advertisement that your department or institution would normally produce. You are responsible for its content. You can change it at any time. It can be in any format such as Word, PDF or video for that matter. You can take it down at any time. But it must exist and be reachable via a Web address at the time you create your ELMAR posting. If for some reason your department does not have the ability to store its own documents on the Web, you can use the ELMAR "Files" tool to upload it. The procedure for doing so is described next.
If your department does not have access to Web space, you can use the ELMAR "Files" facility to upload your job document. To do this -
- Go to the ELMAR Community (ama-academics.communityzero.com/elmar) and log in (for password help, email elmar@ama.org).
- Once logged in, click on the link for "Files" that appears in the left-hand navigation bar on all ELMAR community pages.
- Click the "Add" link that appears near the top of the page, on the horizontal grey navigation bar. On the Add page,
- Choose the local file (job document) that you wish to upload.
- Provide a name based on the name of your university.
- Provide a brief description of the position.
- Pick the Positions folder (Positions nnnn where nnnn is the year).
- Click the Add button.
- On the page that comes up, note the URL, in white, at the bottom of the page. This URL will begin with http://ama-academics and end with a long number. This URL is the URL for your job document.
Note that you can return to the file at any time, and as long as you are logged on, "Edit" and "Delete" links will appear on the horizontal grey nav bar allowing you to upload a new document, change the name and description, or even delete the entry.
