> About PhD Sky
What it is
PhD Sky is a free, independent, non-commercial service operated by Eli Eydlin. It has no advertising, paid listings, sales, or recruiter relationships. Anyone can browse without an account.
An optional account lets you save searches, follow public sources and topics, and receive weekly matching-position emails.
How listings are assembled
Read why we use Bluesky for academic jobs, with research on its academic community and an explanation of its API.
- Collect. Public academic-position posts are gathered from Bluesky through the AT Protocol.
- Classify. Artificial intelligence filters and labels public Bluesky text for position status, academic area, country, and position type.
- Deduplicate. Text similarity and automated review connect reposts while keeping a canonical listing.
- Publish. Verified canonical records appear in the feed and crawlable static position and subject pages.
Limits
Automation can be wrong. Listings are not endorsed or verified by PhD Sky, may be outdated, and can link to deceptive third parties. The original source is authoritative. Confirm deadlines, funding, eligibility, supervisor identity, and application instructions with the institution.
Open source and corrections
The pipeline and website source are available on GitHub. To report a classification problem or request correction or removal of your own public post, email eli.eydlin@gmail.com.
