While AALS Faculty Recruitment Services are primarily used for entry-level hiring, resources are available for current faculty looking for a lateral move or a transition to administration:

Placement Bulletin

The Placement Bulletin includes listings for open lateral positions, directorships, chaired positions, and dean/associate dean positions. All faculty at member and fee-paid schools have free access to all four issues of the Bulletin through their account on aals.org.

Deanships are posted on the AALS home page.

Visiting & International Faculty Registers

The Visiting & International Faculty Registers do not include summer visiting positions.
