Is the job market in ed as dead as it is everywhere else?

Absolutely it is. And as overcrowded for the few openings that exist.

Where are education jobs generally advertised?

Chronicle has an entire section devoted to us. Also at conferences.

UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA

 * Literacy education position at the University of Georgia has been filled.


 * Q. How do you know this? No notices have been mailed/emailed. 


 * A. Several candidates came out to interview at UGA in December. One was offered the position and accepted the offer. I don't know if this person has officially signed a contract or not, which is maybe why notices have not been emailed to you. Or maybe UGA just won't send out notices to people but will assume that they will know they were not hired when they are never contacted. --Thank you.

STEM Fields
Below is an un-editable version of the google spreadsheet containing STEM jobs. 0ArFyictH_7ZOdGtVQnBLdkNyOEcyUEx5Rnk1TnYzV1E&hl=en&output=html
 * To add jobs or update jobs go the Google Spreadsheet at: EDIT GOOGLE SPREADSHEET HERE
 * The link sometimes redirects to spam. Might be best to copy/paste: https://spreadsheets3.google.com/ccc?key=tkUBpKvCr8G2PLyFy5Nv3WQ&hl=en#gid=0
 * I hope that this works for everyone, if not I guess someone else can format a wiki table. But please try the google spreadsheet first, its SOOOO much easier to deal with than the wiki page!
 * You can set up a notifier so that every time someone edits, you will get an email. I am not sure if you must have gmail for this service.
 * Other Specializations: Feel free to copy/paste the STEM Google Doc and use it in your own sections.

Foundations/Policy
(Foundations should be placed in a separate category since it contains its own cluster of specializations - e.g. philosophical, historical, cultural, etc. - and since there's limited overlap with the other fields listed in this group. / That would work fine, I think, although we want to avoid having too many categories lest this page devolve into a morass. How does this new grouping work? / That definitely makes more sense!)

Counseling/School Psychology
Are these jobs posted somewhere else?

Educational Psychology
(Can we make these two separate categories? As an Ed Psych person who doesn't do counseling, I find it frustrating when these types of jobs are lumped together. Also, there should be a category for School Psych positions as well, and it should be separate from Psych and Counseling. / Agree with the former, disagree with the latter. Would this new grouping be okay?) Certainly!
