Far richer than a listing dump — structured contact (email + phone), structured work-location address, languages required, education level, full description, requirements, benefits, deadline and a ready-to-use apply_url — pulled from each job's detail page.

Use cases

• Research job aggregation — feed structured pan-European research jobs into your own board or newsletter
• Recruitment & sourcing — filter by research field, researcher profile (R1–R4), country and contract type
• Market & funding research — track hiring by institution, field, country and EU funding programme
• Deadline & alert tracking — schedule runs and diff for new postings and upcoming application_deadlines

Notes

• Data comes from EURAXESS search pages and each job's detail page (Job Information + Offer Description + Requirements + Contact).
• Turn off fetchDetails for a fast list-only run; keep it on for full descriptions, requirements, benefits and apply links.
