Not exactly. Traditional job boards wait for employers to post positions. Catedra proactively discovers positions by monitoring university career pages, government gazettes, and national platforms worldwide. We're a job discovery engine, not a job posting board.
We continuously crawl career pages at 30,000+ universities in 190 countries. Many universities — especially outside the US and UK — don't post to external job boards. They post on their own HR portals, in national government publications, or on country-specific platforms. We monitor all of these.
Catedra is a 14-day free trial, then $12/month (or $99/year — save $45). That's the individual tier. Graduate schools, postdoc offices, and career services have a separate Department tier — contact us for pricing.
Right now we're in beta. Beta users get free access for the duration of the beta and direct input on features; standard pricing applies when we exit beta. Join the beta.
All of them. Unlike Science Careers (STEM only) or MLA (humanities only), Catedra covers every academic discipline — because we're pulling from institutional career pages, not discipline-specific boards.
We're starting with comprehensive coverage in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Brazil, Germany, France, Spain, and the EU broadly. Coverage is expanding to include all countries with degree-granting institutions. Our goal is every faculty position at every accredited university worldwide.
We use state-of-the-art AI translation with domain-specific academic terminology. Translations are designed to help you discover and understand positions — we always link to the original posting in its original language for official application purposes.
