The advertisement must include a statement indicating that Rice University is **located** in Houston, Texas. 3. **Job duties**, especially teaching, must be stated. 1. *EXAMPLE: Assistant Professor of Accounting to teach undergrad classes, perform high-quality research, and present findings in peer-reviewed publications.* 4. State explicitly **degree requirements** including area of study and date.

**Save two time-stamped screenshots of the posting** in the online journal: one when it's published and one before it closes. - The most common method for capturing the time stamp would be to print or convert the screenshot to PDF with the date and time in the footer. - Also, please note that, ***if the ad is changed in any way while live***, it must be posted live for at least 30 days after the change has been made. In this case, the first screenshot should be of after the change was made, so that the closing day as matches the first one exactly.
