Journals like Nature, New Scientist, Science or any Physics related journals and websites do provide job/fellowship listing, but it would be very difficult for a person to look at many sources every now and then and collect suitable vacancy announcements. I can tell you this is the most tedious job from my own experience. I was thinking for solution to this problem for so long and finally I developed a blog-based website which is powered by RSS technology.

URL: http://physicsjobs.blogspot.com

It contains jobs (research/academic) and fellowships (grad/postdoc), etc. As it is solely depends on RSS feeds, it could bring all the latest jobs instantly as and when it is posted on the Internet.

Currently my students are making use of the site. I believe the site would be useful to many others. Please circulate this message to those who are interested..
