ScienceNature Careers
Nature’s international science careers board for research positions, from early-career laboratory roles to senior scientific appointments.
About Nature Careers
Nature Careers connects scientific employers with researchers across countries and career stages. Its job listings sit alongside Nature’s career reporting and advice, giving the service a clear research focus.
Why it belongs on a shortlist
In its recruiter information, Nature reports more than 100,000 monthly active jobseekers and says 70% of its jobseeker audience holds a PhD. Those are publisher-reported figures, not independently assessed traffic. They help explain the board’s relevance for research hiring rather than general office recruitment.
The live careers site features universities and research institutions, including Westlake University and the German Cancer Research Center. Roles span scientific disciplines and levels of seniority.
Planning a campaign
State the scientific methods, career stage, location, and funding duration clearly. Nature offers branded and enhanced job postings, with wider employer branding available separately. Confirm the price, listing period, and regional distribution for your campaign; this review did not establish a current public starting price.
Our take
Nature Careers is a strong starting point when scientific depth matters more than a large general audience. It is particularly well suited to research appointments with a clearly defined discipline and career stage. Explain the lab, funding, facilities, and contract horizon so applicants can judge the opportunity. The Nature name adds context, but it does not replace evidence that your specific research community will see the ad.
