Jobs.ac.uk is a UK job board for academic, research and professional jobs in universities, colleges and research institutes. This Actor turns its search into a clean table: the job, the university, the department, the place, the salary and grade, when the job was placed and when applications close. Newest first; 362 lecturer jobs were open on the day of the example run.
Press Start. The defaults return lecturer jobs, newest first.
What a row looks like
company is the university or institute. Business names only: a name that contains a person's name is left empty by the catalogue's rule — which also empties a university named after a person ("Liverpool John Moores University"); categories still names the department. No contact person, e-mail or phone is collected and the job text is not read.
Every row also carries source_site and scraped_at.
| Field | What it holds | How often it is filled (example run, 100 rows) |
|---|---|---|
title, company, location | Job title; university or institute; town (and Hybrid / Remote where given) | Always |
company | Employer | 99 of 100 |
categories | Department or school | 90 of 100 |
salary_min, salary_max, salary_currency, salary_period | Salary range; GBP; year (hourly where stated) | 86 of 100 |
posted_at | Date placed | Always |
application_deadline | Closing date | Always |
source_url, external_id | The job on Jobs.ac.uk, its advert id | Always |
Input
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
searchTerms | Keywords, e.g. lecturer, research fellow, professor. Each keyword is one search. Empty: every job. |
location | One region as the site's location filter names it, e.g. Greater London, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Ireland. |
category | One academic discipline as the site names it, e.g. Computer Sciences, Health & Medical. |
postedAfter, sinceDays | Keep only jobs placed on or after a date, or in the last N days (the list is newest first, so the run stops there). |
maxItems | Stop after this many rows. |
proxyConfiguration | Off by default; not needed for this site. |
How it works
The Actor sends the site's own search sorted by date placed, reads 25 results a page, pausing 2 seconds between requests, and never opens a job's page. The list shows dates without a year ("19 Oct"); the year is the one that puts the posting date on or before the day of the run and the closing date after it. A region or discipline the site does not know returns no rows.
Pricing
$1.50 per 1,000 results (event result-item), no start fee. Set a maximum charge per run in the run options to cap it.
