The AAAS claims to be the world's largest multidisciplinary scientific society and a leading publisher of cutting-edge research through its Science family of journals. The association's goal is to promote science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to address many of the challenges the world faces today.

The American Association for the Advancement of Science says it is a "member-focused organization." Having a well-rounded dedicated site for careers and job search bears this out.
