How to Advertise a Vacancy

To Place an ad in our JFP:
Please read the five APA Board Statements (in the gray panel immediately to the left) and ensure that your hiring practices, including your ads, comply with both the spirit and the letter of these APA Board Statements.
Please use our Online Submission Form. If you are unable to use the online submission form, contact Evonda Acevedo by e-mail at: eacevedo@udel.edu or by phone at (302) 831-2012.
The application deadline in your ad must be at least two weeks after the publication date of the issue of JFP in which the ad appears. This is to ensure that all interested parties have enough time to submit their application materials. If no deadline is listed, the position must be held open for at least one month after the publication date of JFP.
While notices will be accepted stating that an employer has a special interest in receiving applications from women or members of minority groups, no notice will be accepted which suggests that others will not also be considered in filling the vacancy.
Departments are asked to treat inquiries and applications as confidential.
Vacancies will not appear in subsequent issues of JFP unless specifically requested.
You should expect to receive Confirmation of your request no later than 48 hours following the copy deadline of each issue. If you do not receive confirmation from our office you should contact Evonda Acevedo (eacevedo@udel.edu) to confirm our receipt of your submission and its appearance.

Pricing, Billing, and Late Fees

Prices are as follows:

The online submission form is not a method of payment. After your ad is published, our billing department will send an invoice to the billing address that you provide in the online submission form. For each issue that you submit an advertisement, you will receive a separate invoice.

For printed issues of the JFP, which appear in print and on the website on the date of publication:

$100.00 for the first 100 words

$0.80 for each word over 100

Examples: A 110-word ad would cost $108.00; A 170-word ad would cost $156.00.

"Web Only ads" - Ads appearing on the APA website between printed issues of JFP will be charged as quoted above with an additional service fee of $20.00. "Web Only ads" are billed in addition to ads appearing in printed issues.

These rates are per listing, per issue. Billing is done after each issue is published. Job notices are re-run only when requested in writing.

Billing:

Billing is done by invoices sent out by our office after the publication of the issue. At that time, you may indicate that you wish to pay with a credit card by providing the information (card number, expiration date, signature) and returning the invoice to our office.
Final words counts are based on the ad as it is actually published. These may vary slightly from the estimated word count provided on your email confirmation.

Late Fees:

Ads Submitted late (after the copy deadlines below) for a printed issue will be assessed a late fee of $15.00. The issue goes to the printer as soon as it is ready, so the final deadline for 'late ads' will depend on many factors. If it is past the deadline, email Evonda Acevedo at eacevedo@udel.edu to see if you can still get your ad in the next printed issue.
