1. “Going Post-ac in a Pandemic: Moving On with a PhD Under.
2.   Stress”  [Recording is also available on this page for purchase];  

This webinar will show you how to prepare for the non-academic job search, whether you’re still in graduate school, adjuncting, or well into the academic career.  We begin with the emotional struggle of letting go of the dream of the tenure track, and the social and academic challenges involved in the transition. We’ll contextualize all of this within the COVID19 pandemic and economic fallout. Then, we’ll look at the process of re-evaluation away from a single-minded focus on the tenure track. We confront the incorrect belief held by many Ph.D.s (especially in the arts and humanities) that you don’t have any skills for non-academic jobs. You

 have a multitude of skil isls; you just haven't learned to identify and mobilize them for jobs outside the academy. This webinar gives you the tools. With the COVID19-related implosion of the higher ed economy, now is the time to act.

3. My book, The Professor Is In: The Essential Guide to Turning Your PhD Into a Job includes four chapters on the post-academic transition.

4. The Professor Is In offers career consulting, and we are worki in ng to offer special reduced rates to all who need them in this crisis; get in touch at  gettenure@gmail.com.  Step 1: we are offering a blanket 20% discount code for all digital job document products and packages on the Prof Shop page: FB20.

The program will include 10 weeks of step-by-step exploration of the work of leaving; 10 weekly sessions.  with daily emails in between. Less how today build a resume, more how to build (re-build?) an identity. Only requirement in this first round is a PhD. Email Kel Weinhold at tnl@theprofessorisin.com if you are interested.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This list is editable--please add institution names as you receive info from searches that are cancelled or your institutions.

We would all appreciate a “strikethrough” if you wish to remove a campus so that we can see that it was there at one point.

*I cannot vouch for the accuracy or specifics of this information for every institution listed. The advantage of crowdsourcing is speed and breadth; for specifics you must do your own research.*`

Hiring freezes are determined at the institutional or state system level. They are not departmental decisions. Many of the freezes on this list were formally announced through campus level communications and/or informing job applicants that the search was closed or offer withdrawn.  Hiring freezes or “chills” can take new forms; many will be honoring any verbal offers already mademay, but notiqq will be "temporary pauses" and some will be freezes. Some searches  go forward later; some may pick up where they left off; some may restart entirely, and some may just be cancelled permanently. Some will include post docs and some will not.   The list below does not make distinctions of any kind--please do your own research as to specifics.

We hope to receive approval to hire a tenure-track faculty member to begin Fall 2021; if we do, we would post a new advertisement on MathJobs this fall and collect a new pool of applications. I appreciate the time you spent preparing an application for our position and sincerely hope that, in the time since you applied, you have found another suitable position for this fall. We anticipate hiring a one-year visiting instructor for the 2020-2021 academic year and have recently advertised this position on MathJobs. Certainly a temporary position is significantly less attractive than a tenure-track position, and we realize many candidates will not be interested in such a position. If, however, you are still on the market and interested in this position, we would welcome you to apply at https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/jobs/15925 The recent months have been an unprecedented time with many challenges. I hope you and those close to you are and remain as well as can be hoped under these circumstances.)

We have instituted both university-wide and unit-specific reductions while working diligently to advance MSU’s mission and continue our world-class education and research. The nature and depth of the challenge has required furloughing some employees and reducing wages and retirement contributions for others. The Board of Trustees on June 26 approved budget development guidelines for the fiscal year that began July 1, estimating revenue and expenditure reductions of $52.6 million from fiscal 2020.”

Furlough: Applied to most faculty, academic and university staff beginning no earlier than May 15 and running through Oct. 31, 2020. The policy will apply to most employees, including those on grant or other non-101 funding. Exempt graduate assistant, post-doctoral, temporary and student employees and non-FTE appointments. Employees earning over $150,000 will take six days of furlough over the next six months (a 4.6% reduction per month).

The number of furlough days will be adjusted for those with 9-month appointments, so they bear a similar salary reduction over the course of the year as others with the same annual income. Leadership pay cuts: The provost, vice chancellors and chancellor  are qvoluntarily taking a fifteen percent reduction in pay for the next six months. Work-Share Program: Units that are either heavily impacted by financial losses or that have had major impacts to on-site operations will have to reduce their workforce more.

Workers in the Work-Share program can apply for expanded unemployment benefits that are pro-rated for the partial work reduction. Employees with Reduced Work in Units that are Not Eligible for the Work-Share Program: see link above for details. Voluntary Leave Without Pay: see link above for details.

14. Ohio State University circulating petition (Arts and Sciences College): https://forms.gle/N9UPnW9p3rYbiJxr8

1. Sign in

15. University of Sydney - can apply for 6 month extension
16. University of Washington - has a collective bargaining agreement with contracts that are protected in Winter and/or Summer quarter according to what contract an academic student employee was originally offered at the beginning of the school year. Wages are ensured during the extent of the contract. http://www.uaw4121.org/ for more info.

Upenn - “To alleviate the most immediate needs of our students—those in their final year of funding in 2019-2020—SAS Graduate Division has initiated procedures that allow students to request an additional fully-funded semester of graduate school.”

17. UC Santa Barbara - "Departmental time-to-candidacy and time-to-degree normative times will be extended by one year for all doctoral students. Master’s students can extend their time-to-degree up to one year beyond their department’s normative time." Funding extensions still being worked on.^[d]
18.  Harvard has an Emergency Support Initiative. In a nutshell, there are multiple options. Graduating PhDs can apply to remain at university tuition-free as Visiting Fellows w/ option to buy health insurance. Also options to request summer funding and to extend dissertation completion grants up to a year. University also created a small number of postdocs that involve helping students edit their fellowship application docs.
19. Tuft’s University’s Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies department “will not admit students for Fall 2021 in order to extend funding to currently enrolled students whose research trajectories have been affected by Covid.” (tweet)
20. Northeastern University student/faculty petition to extend funding timelines for all PhD students and candidates by one year

5) Schools that have withdrawn graduate student funding offers:

1. University of Arizona (Chronicle story April 9)
2. Florida State University - any student that had not accepted their offer by last week had their offer withdrawn (student who was accepted to the program)
3. University of Central Florida (phd offers put off until next year)
4. University of Oklahoma - 3/31 not withdrawn, but pausing all new offers to Graduate Assistants except those with external funding.
5. University of Florida—student reported in a reddit post here (fyi: nsfw language) an email from their future (2020-2021 acceptance) master’s advisor that “The University is in permanent hiring freeze and the [Horticulture] department cannot hire or provide letter of offers for graduate research assistant positions. On top of that a budget cut up to 15%, due to the loss in revenue at the University level, will probably be implemented by June. This means that we will potentially lose our assistantships and tuition waivers.” Therefore, they “cannot move forward with your application and the Dept. cannot go ahead and provide you a letter of offer for Fall 2020”
