Rich fields other scrapers miss — full description, structured region/postal_code, employment_type, valid_through (application deadline) and the Top Job badge — pulled from each job's embedded JobPosting data.

Use cases

• Academic job aggregation — feed structured university/research jobs into your own board or newsletter
• Recruitment & market research — track hiring by institution, field, region and contract type
• Candidate alerts — schedule runs by keyword and diff for new postings
• Salary & deadline tracking — capture valid_through deadlines and salary ranges where published

Notes

• Data comes from academics.de's search pages and each job's structured JobPosting metadata.
• Turn off fetchDetails for a fast list-only run (title, employer, location, hours, term, date); keep it on for full descriptions and salary/region details.
