CRA advertises both text and display ads, which are disseminated in the following ways:

Each text ad:

Each display ad:
is posted in Computing Research News (CRN) for up to two consecutive issues.

Computing Research News is distributed electronically ten times a year: January, February, March, April, May, June, August, September, October and November. You must contact us before the 15th to request that your ad be placed in the next consecutive issue of CRN. It will NOT appear in the following month unless you select this option. The deadlines for each issue are:

December 15: January issue
January 15: February issue
February 15: March issue
March 15: April issue
April 15: May issue
May 15: June issue
July 15: August issue
August 15: September issue
September 15: October issue
October 15: November issue
*If a 2nd month posting is chosen, then the ad will appear in the month following the issue listed above.

Text ads will be posted on CRA’s jobs webpage shortly after you accept your ad quote. If you want your ad to be posted later, please let us know when you approve your ad.
