OADEO manages the UCSD Academic Job Opportunities Bulletin and posts all the open academic positions it processes in this bulletin.

OADEO also posts these positions on the Southern California Higher Education Recruitment Consortium Web site.

Training in the use of e-RP and Recruit is now available through on-site sessions conducted specifically for the academic personnel staff in individual departments. Instruction in recruitment policies and use of academic recruitment forms is also included in these sessions.
