New theory jobs website

The CATCS setup a new website to post information on positions such as postdoc, faculty, teaching fellows for theoretical computer scientists, the website is http://cstheory-jobs.org/ (this replaces the old webpage at the center for Computational Intractability that was hacked over the summer). It is rather rudimentary, but hopefully it still gets the job done, and it is connected to the Theory of Computing Blog Aggregator.

I encourage people to use this to post information about availability for academic positions. I think this should be particularly useful for postdoc positions. I think oftentimes graduating students are not aware of which universities have postdoc positions, especially since in most institutions availability tends to change from year to year. So, if you are looking for postdocs in theoretical CS, please do post that information on the website. Posts should be short but describe the duration of the position and the deadline to apply, together with a link that points out to additional information.
