Anyone have insight? 2) SC here: it IS updated from below, and broadened to include the following areas of potential expertise: including but not limited to: carbon and nutrient cycling at landscape scales, coastal watershed science and hydrology, integration of coastal data across multiple spatial, temporal, and/or ecological scales, quantitative modeling, and landscape-scale restoration, conservation, and/or ecosystem management 3) Hi SC! Could you give some insight into what happened to the 1st search? If you applied round 1 and got nowhere, is it worth applying again? If so, would a reframe in focus be appropriate? SC: Everyone is encouraged to apply, including applicants from the first round, with an emphasis on landscape level processes in coastal ecosystems as defined in the fairly broad job ad. good luck! 4) Hi SC ! I'm surprised to see no requirement for a resarch statement or even a cover letter. Am I reading the USAJobs portal correctly? 5) SC here: correct, USAJOBS requires relatively few documents like your resume and transcripts, as outlined here: https://serc.si.edu/careers/tips-applying-federal-jobs--->BIG HOWEVER: if you want to upload other documents you think might be relevant, which could include a cover letter, research statement, etc., these could be uploaded either as the latter part of your resume, or as separate documents in the 'other documents' section of the USAJOBS portal. hope this helps! 6) Has anyone heard anything yet ? 😬7) Federal jobs are slow and it's summer...it probably hasn't made it through the initial HR screening and to the search committee yet. 9) @6,7, I did get an email from the "recruitment representative" that said they'd recieved they application and would update when information is available. x2 6) Has anyone recieved any update? 7) Not sure if anyone is still watching this, but I did get a Zoom request for this position (first week of October).1

(2) could someone speak to starting salary? (3) SC here - all South Dakota salaries are public reported (https://open.sd.gov/employees.aspx), you can look up other recent hires in the Natural Resource Management department, also keep in mind cost of living here is low (no state income tax, low housing cost compared to most college towns). (4) Looks like the assistant profs in the department are making around $80k, plus or minus ~$5k 5) how serious is the 'must be authorized to work in the US' statement? I kind of assumed most/all universities would sponser a foreign-born candidate if they were selected by the committee. (6) SC here - I would encourage any foreign-born scientists to contact the committee.2

And is the instructor expected to teach all subjects, or would just biology suffice?; @2) the position is permanent and the current department teaches chemistry, biology, and physics--the program uses a system similar to quarters, and one quarter is biology, two are chemistry, and one is physics, where all faculty teach all three subject areas @1) If the courses being taught are across science subjects, is it largely introductory courses/ courses for non majors? 1) Courses are largely introductory or non-majors courses. This position is at USMAPS, which is a one-year college preparatory program for cadet candidates who are hoping for admission into USMA (West Point). Some of the cadet candidates need to improve academic skills, so the courses at USMAPS are organized to help bridge gaps in content knowledge. @1 thank you for the information! Out of curiousity, if the applicant wants it is there any possibility of doing research/research support with the role? I know it wouldn't be required, but curious if it could be an option. Thanks! 1) Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to this question. The department chair is an active research scientist, but does research through a separate university. There are no research facilities within USMAPS. There may be opportunities to conduct STEM education research, but you would want to inquire about this at the interview.

We just did a big cluster hire around eDNA, and brought on several new faculty in this area as part of an EPSCoR-funded Maine eDNA initiative and the formation of the Maine Center for Genetics in the Environment. Basically, lots of recent growth in that area means we're not likely to hire new TT folks any time soon. 5) zoom interview request 30 May 6) I Zoom-interviewed.

I've served on SCs, and we often entertain apps after the deadline. 2 again) Great, thanks! 3) Any updates on this one? 4) @ departmental member, any news on this?1

I was 1 of 3 on-campus interviewees. I had to turn the offer down, and 1 other candidate confirms doing so in the notes section of the previous TT position post. The department seemed very supportive, those you'd work closely with were a major plus - genuinely good people, and everyone seemed happy and to have reasonable work-life balance. Salary seems to have been a major obstacle for some finalists ($62k) given the local housing market. But, for someone that can make the salary work (or if they allocate more $ now that the TT search seems to have failed), it is a great opportunity to contribute to the development of a new program in a supportive environment. 4) Confirming what #3 is saying, I also turned down the offer in the TT search. Salary wasn't acceptable for a TT position given the rising cost of living in the area. A major sticking point for me was that there are no annual cost-of-living adjustments - at 2% annual inflation you will make less after 9 years as full professor than you did starting (59k equivalent vs 62k starting), even after accounting for the pay bump at associate and full prof over this time. Can confirm that the department is filled with fantastic, supportive people. Shifting this position to non-TT and one that doesn't require a PhD was the right move given the pay and high teaching load (3:3 / 2:3). 5) Well presumably they will also drop the pay for NTT. 6) I also received this job offer for the TT position 03/11/24, but ended up turning it down as well. I can also confirm the Biology and Chemistry departments were a pleasure to meet. They offered 64k, but the Dean wanted a decision in 72 hours (like seriously offered on a Tuesday, deadline by Friday). I never laughed so hard in my life. 1

Just want to make sure I'm understanding correctly! 2) @ 3 coming up on a full year after the interviews for two positions, no hires announced yet. Entirely possible that they don't have funding for any new hires but are trying anyways. The university is currently spending a lot on launching a med school. Great province but tiny population and tax base. 3) Thanks! 4) The above comments about lack of funding for advertised positions are outsider speculation, and are not true. 3) @ 4 thanks for providing taking the time to comment and offer that insight. I appreciate the perspective. 5) Online virtual interview request received on May 24. x 3, 6) Had a really nice virtual chat with the UPEI Biology department, seems like a really great group of folks. I neglected to ask about timeline for the shortlist interviews, so would be curious if anyone hears back! 7) Email received on 18-Jun-2024 for in-person interview on campus. 8) @ 6 I asked about timeline and they told me that they would be moving quickly as they are still aiming for someone to start teaching in Sept 2024.9) Rejection letter received. 10) Best of luck to everyone who recieved an interview invite!

I don't think visas/citizenship are a barrier themselves, but I would assume a very strong preference for work in species/places/systems in or relevant to NZ. 4) Anyone has an idea of the teaching load? 4)@2: At least in US searches clicking that box doesn't disqualify you. 5) keep in mind NZ funding is very sparse compared to USA funding.6) and US funding is sparse relative to EU funding... but presumably this position would have access to DOC funds. 7) @4 typical NZ university faculty split is 70% teaching, 25% research, and 5% service (without external grants). Many NZ grants (Royal Society NZ, MBIE, etc) cover 80% of your time which typically exempts you from all teaching. 3again) VUW standard split is 40/40/20 teaching/research/service. Under the university's current financial situation, you can't buy out your teaching time with external grants. They're not even topping up salary of soft money researchers. 7again) Thanks for the VUW insider info @4. 8) Received an invitation for zoom interview. 9) Received an invitation for in person interview post zoom interview (20/7/24)6

(2) SC member - we're open to all applicants 3) Not ecoevo! 4) 2 is wrong about CRCs in general - an online search for stats is easy to do - they have been heavily skewed towards white men, so some more recently ones are potentially more targeted positions to even things out. However, open speculation about demographics for a position "not sure it's the case for this one" is not helpful to anyone. 5) The government has literally said they will no longer approve CRCs that don't fulfill their demographic objectives, so let's not pretend otherwise in this case x4 6) AP - The comments here likely are going off the topic of this particular position. 7) Memorial lost a CRC for that very reason, @5 8) This is absolutely nonesense!

This position might favor Canadians but it varies by institution and all must say this. 4) I applied! x2 5) do we know the salary range? 6) @5 the link to salary on the page didn't work but I found it in the collective agreement doc (page 40 - depends on degrees + experience) (7) My guess would be about 90K CAD. It will be tight living in the lower mainland on the salary at first. (8) Can somebody internal confirm the salary -- what's this new trend of hiding the salary? 9) it's not hidden, they just accidentally posted an internal link to the salary page. If you look at the linked collective agreement, it is clearly laid out, depending on experience -- probably off by a couple thousand since it is through 2022 though. PhD only starts at ~69k; MS + PhD starts at ~72K. Additional experience increases these numbers. (9 again) ETA here is the updated schedule which changes those numbers I just posted to ~76.5K and ~80K: https://www.kpu.ca/sites/default/files/Human%20Resources/Job%20Profile/Faculty%20Salary%20Grid%20-%20April%201%202022%20to%20March%2031%202024.xlsx%20%281%29.pdf (10) With rent and childcare, that's 100% of the salary. rough. 9) And that is Canadian $...converted to USD that is really rough... 11) This salary is a joke. 12) Converting the salary to USD isn't really relevant; if you want to make USD, you should work in the States. Stipends 8-11 would be enough for a single person or a family to live in the city if a partner made a similar income. 13) As an American who lived in BC for awhile, converting to USD is absolutely relevant. Also, "if a partner made a similar income"? Congrats for normalizing runaway capitalism, exploiting labor, academia not paying people their worth, and financial burden being passed on to partners when every individual is entitled to a liveable wage. 13 again, I should mention that even with the highest salary listed (which let's be real, admins will do everything they can to pay step/stipend 1 and not 8-11), it would never support home ownership. I know from experience living in the Vancouver area. 14) re-13 discussions of the American-Canadain exchange rate, acidemia's contribution to the destruction of the single-family model, the inclusion of home ownership within a calculation of a liveable wage, and how teachers at small non-TT colleges are 'owed' over $110,000 seems more fitting for the venting tab on this message board. x3 14) in-person interview request 4/23 (all interviews on one day in less than 2 weeks?)

They said 1 introductory and 1 advanced, but data science is a kind of broad field. @1) Something like "Intro to Environmental Data Science" and grad-level course entirely of choice. 2) Looks like they want someone who will design a new major and certificate program - sounds like a lot of admin 3) @2 definitely - clearly are looking for someone to lead that program. 4) In application questionnaire, first question asks "Do you have a PhD in Economics, Finance, Energy Regulation, or related field?" Is this a typo? Should this have asked about whether I have a PhD in "data science, or in fields such as engineering, biology, ecology, social science, geography, and information science with commensurate experience in data science" as per the job description? 5) Zoom interview requested 5/7 6) any news after Zooms? 6) Was someone hired?

"[1] Curse them for co-opting the convention we use here to delineate different peopleions on the ecology of migratory birds; 2) Looking through the required documents and questions for this. Does anyone know if it is really only a resume with no other questions or statements? I thought the USA jobs I've applied for in the past at least had some room for a little more or a cover letter etc. I guess there isn't any particular limit on resume length? 3) Federal job resumes should be very long with narrative describing duties, accomplishments, etc for every position and directly connecting to what's requested here. Cover letter is almost always optional; probably good to have one, but no knowing if it has any impact. I've been told from people in other agencies cover letters are meaningless. You should always upload all transcripts. There might be questions to answer in the application but you have to just start working through it. 4) This one doesn't seem to have any substantial extra questions (you can preview them). I can't tell if there is even a place where you could upload a cover letter if you wanted to. Would you just attach it in the same file as the resume? 5) if you make it all the way to the end where the upload documents option usually is and there is no space for cover letter or other documents, you can just combine it and your PDF resume and upload it in the resume area 6) I have applied to similar federal jobs, they are very restrictive on what they can ask for. The advice I was given was to follow #3 above with much more detailed resume that very specifically ties experience to language in advertisement and also include a cover letter just like you would for any academic job.2

Apparently its a proprietary grain made by The Land Institute. Idk if this helps any job seekers but that was interesting at least. (2) It's a non-profit, don't know much about it but it seems like they have good motives. (3) I know some folks that work there. Seems like a great place, very supportive of research, travel, mentoring. (4) Sounds like a great place to support my passion of perineal research (5) @4 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (7) @4 what a tainted mind to make that slip (7) I am living for this late-cycle job board discussion x3 (8) @3 I agree. I work with the TLI scientists and they're a great group. They're developing many different perennial crops, Kernza is just the first one to be commercialized.

I've worked in lots of worst universities! :) 3) I appreciate the honesty when my employer and I hold each other in mutual contempt, it's warm and familiar 4) SC member here: I want to add to the discussion to say that the biology department is very collegial and welcoming, and that there are strong ties to the Alan Turing Institute, Kew Gardens, UCL and many other London institutions 5) @4 would someone who heavily applies AI approaches in their work but doesn't develop new tools be of interest for this position? Or are you looking for folks who will innovate on the computer science side, with applications to biosciences? @4 what about mathematical modeling? 6) @5 We would encourage anyone working with AI in biology to apply, whether it's applying existing AI tools or developing new ones. Re mathematical modeling- yes as long as there are links to AI 7) Current staff - it's a great place to work. UK universities are under substantial governmental pressure and QM has been handling that better than most!

They just pulled this search a few weeks back, now a new one that is basically the same? We will have to re-apply, so lame. 1) first post was for a curator of Ichthyology and for a curator of Herpetology, this one is combind into one posetion, kind of a big difference. 2) ooooor one of the people they were going to hire was shopping around for other offers and negotiated this change. This is like the 3rd curatororial-related hire post from them with a short deadline just this Spring. There is definitely something odd afoot. 3) Smells fishy 4) seems like the downside of requiring public advertisements. As much as folks here hate the idea of an internal hire, sometimes if they have worked there for years it makes a lot of sense. Then when they negotiate final title or have a funding change...they have to publicly post some weirdness like this. 5) @2-4: You might be right, and there is a guy there who is a good candidate for this job but that doesn't mean he is applying. I would just apply and not worry about it. Seems like a good place to work. 6) @5 what? academic job searchers shouldn't be suspicious? hahahahahahahah! I agree with you though. 7) any news? 8) Zoom invite 5/3 x3 9) Did the zooms go well? 3

If you’re a fit apply! 5) would someone who works on tropical amphibians but not in the neotropics be considered a fit? 6) @5 yes, if the person can/wants to incorporate neotropical amphibians into their work encouraged to apply 7) Is there a specific reason why there is an emphasis on the neotropics? 8) @7 lots of initiatives at the Field have to do with the Neotropics so I have gotten the sense they like to synergize on trips and things that way. 9) the ad says this is a joint hire with the museum's action conservation center which works a lot in the Neotropics specifically. 10) did Sara leave or are they expanding to another herp curator? They had mutiple back in the day, but then were down to 0 for a while... 11) Sara works mainly with reptiles, this is an amphibians job. Honesly it is refreshing to see institutions separate amphibians from non-avian reptiles 12) @10 Sara is the search chair for this hire 13) worth noting the Field Museum has been doing a lot of hires in the last several years and has added 6 or 7 new curators so this seems like continuing that trend 14) It was indeed a short timespan, particularly for those in the Neotropics who are not primarily targeting tenure positions in the USA. Starting an application from scratch while managing work commitments and/or applying for other positions in one's home country can be quite challenging; 15) letters of reference requested April 18. 16) Were you contacted by the FMNH, or did you hear from your letter writers? 17) Contacted by the Museum. 16) Cool, looks like I'm out then :-/ 18) Interviews ongoing 19) update, an offer was made and accepted3

The position will remain open until an appointment has been made, but application review will begin immediately. 2) Wow that salary is terrible. 3) This position would start 1-2 weeks prior to the Fall 2024 semester, in August 2024, and is contingent on funding. 4) The salary might be terrible, but at least it's a non-academic appointment with no possibility of tenure. 5) Not to mention a fair chance of going bankrupt at any point. 6) Sure, but living in the Northeast Kingdom? This is the dream! (minus... everything already said above) 7) It also says that a masters or PhD is a "desired" qualification, but not a requirment which is a bit unexpected for a college but may explain the salary range a little bit. 8) Just a few years ago. https://www.timesargus.com/news/sterling-college-gets-a-difficult-economic-lesson/article_f8500645-df27-5d97-af5a-7d119da1f57d.html 9) Is the salary range for real? x2 10) yes. It's a low cost of living area and you don't need a PhD for the position. 11) Not that low. 12) There is a tab for non ts academic jobs and it is not this tab. 13) No, this is the right spot. It is not designed for short term. Personally, if its not tenure track, its not permanent.

If there is a pattern, what institutions in the US would be more similar to U of PR? @4 UPR IS an institution in the US...5) @2 UPRM is the second biggest state university in PR, it has about 12K students. Very competitive, specially in the STEM fields. It is considered an R2. Living in Puerto Rico is very similar to living in Orlando. 6) @5, thank you for the comment. 7) @5 other than the weather, not sure I'd agree that living in PR is like living in Orlando.8) @7 You might be right, the Puerto Rico government and people are significantly more progressive than current day Florida. 9) Last I checked PR is part of the US1
