This Web site, which was launched in February 2000, has listings of postdoctoral positions at universities and other research institutions, a résumé bank, and links to online resources for postdocs. The listings are updated daily, and users may sign up to receive free e-mail notification of new job listings. A database of scholarships and fellowships for graduate students and postdocs is also under construction.

This new Web site contains articles on the plight of postdocs, advice, resources, and a forum where postdocs can share their views and concerns. The forum contains job listings, too.
