What this actor does

AcademicJobsOnline is the dominant application portal for research-faculty and postdoc positions in the quantitative sciences. This actor uses AJO's public JSON API to retrieve all active job listings (~500–600 at any time), returning structured data for each position including title, position type, institution, department, location, subject area, application deadline, and full description.

The actor respects AJO's robots.txt crawl-delay (5 seconds between API pages) and requires no authentication.

Input

Field	Type	Description
`maxItems`	integer	Maximum number of positions to return. Leave unset to scrape all active listings.
`positionType`	string	Filter by position type keyword (e.g. `Postdoctoral`, `Tenured/Tenure-track faculty`, `Fellowship`). Case-insensitive substring match. Leave empty for all types.
`subjectArea`	string	Filter by subject area keyword (e.g. `Physics`, `Mathematics`, `Computer Science`). Case-insensitive substring match. Leave empty for all subjects.

Example input

{
  "maxItems": 100,
  "positionType": "Postdoctoral"
}

Each record in the dataset contains:

Field	Type	Description
`job_id`	string	Unique AJO numeric job ID
`job_url`	string	Full URL of the position detail page
`position_title`	string	Title of the position
`position_type`	string	Category (e.g. `Postdoctoral`, `Tenured/Tenure-track faculty`, `Fellowship`, `Other`)

Notes

AJO lists ~500–600 active positions at any time, predominantly in math, physics, statistics, economics, and computer science
Positions span globally; the country field enables geographic filtering
The description field contains the full HTML-stripped position description
Positions with null deadline have no closing date listed on AJO
This actor scrapes the public /ajo/public_job_boards API endpoint which AJO explicitly makes available for job board integrations
