There is a really cool and growing community of the teaching faculty at UCD now. Some uber talented teachers and they have been a huge campus asset on pedagogy and tech advice with the switch to remote. | ||

It was cancelled due to COVID. 3) @2, do you know if interviews happened or an offer was made last year before they cancelled? 4) @3 the search was cancelled before interviews took place, but they had a shortlist already before they cancelled. 2 again) 4 is correct. In the 2019-2020 ecoevo job list, someone commented that they received a message that he/she/they were informed of being shortlisted when the search was cancelled. I also applied then, and did not get that msg (just the "sorry, search is cancelled" msg). Maybe that post is still up. 4) I was shortlisted, and just received the following email: "You were among a small number of candidates under serious consideration for the position. We are excited to reopen this Faculty Search, and welcome you to apply at the link below". 5) did everybody get an email? I received an emai inviting me to re-apply but nothung about being short listed.... so probably not worth re-applying!lol x3 | ||

Don't read too much into them not adding more descriptors to the job ad. 6) Agree with 4 - Letters a huge waste of time here. | 3 | |

Many of the positions advertised here have ~4 week time frame from advertisement to first review. It's a little on the short side but definitely not out of the ordinary. 3) Didn't UT Austin's IB have a search last year for a few positions? Does anyone know what happened with that? 4) There was one for Evolutionary Genomics. This seems broader and looking for somebody "committed to building a diverse and inclusive educational environment" 5) Maybe 2 (?) years ago they had several searches going at once that included assistant and open rank positions that were broadly covering integrative biology. I know at least 1-2 and maybe more hires came out of those searches. 6) this is a new initiative in the college and there will be other positions for other departments. The time frame is a factor of constraints above the department. | 4 | |

Anyone have any sense of what the likelihood is of an international hire? Is that just required language for public Canadian institutions? Or is there virtually no chance of them hiring a non-Canadian? 3) My understanding is that if they have two candidates more or less equally matched they are required to hire the Canadian. So Canadians are more likely to be hired, but in my experience it is not unheard of for a non-Canadian to get an offer. 4) My experience (as a Canadian who was not hired in Canada) is that the department can offer to a foreign candidate if they make the justification that the Canadian candidate(s) are "not equally matched". As with anything this can be subjective, so there is an out. 3) There are lots of useful threads on this same topic for other Canadian jobs listed here 5) I asked about this— it sounds like UBC has a history of recruiting international candidates, and it's just a matter of making a case why the international candidate is the best for the job. 6) Mostly this is true. There are consequences for choosing a non-Canadian and so some departments are more reluctant than others to do it. 7) Consequences? 8) Paperwork has to be filled and submitted to the local govt i think. 9) I've always heard that if they choose a non-Canadian and that person turns down the offer there is a real danger of the search failing because the other Canadians were deemed 'not acceptable'. 6 again) 9 is correct. If you choose a non-Canadian you must indicate that the others are not qualified. So, you cannot go back to them later if the non-Canadian candidate falls through. Additionaly, you need to obtain special permission for the hire from the federal govt. But, that is usually pretty easy 10) Thanks for that info. Very interesting. I am Canadian, but never understood the actual "reprocussions" for hiring non-CAD. 11) FYI, since many international applicants are likely interested in these positions, make sure to look at housing costs in Vancouver if owning a house is important to you (there have been a couple instances of newly hired faculty at UBC leaving after deciding they aren't satisfied living in a townhouse/apartment).12) Agree with 11, Vancouver is beautiful but so expensive. You could get a house further out and just have a longer commute. 12) 11: do you know how far out/how long the commute for more affordable housing? 13) I'm originally from Vancouver... if you want an actual house with its own lot for under 1M USD, you probably have to look as far as Surrey - *maybe* New Westminster. So you can check the google commute times from there, keeping in mind traffic is lower now than it probably will be in the future. Tough to make work on the UBC starting salary... 14) Many of the UBC new faculty live in condos 15) Some UBC factulty have gone so far as to reside in the USA and commute up to Vanouver. Not sure how this works with covid travel restrictions tho. 16) well UBC is completely online for now, so I don't think covid travel restrictions have been a problem on that respect, but yes, multiple faculty have lived in the USA | 4 | |

(see Carnegie Institution Plant Science search notes below) 3) How "soft money" is this position? Is it like the Cary Institute where you need to supplement your salary with grant money? 4) These are 12 months fully-endowed resarch positions (i.e. 0% soft money) 5) I was informed by the Director that these are fixed-term 5 years positions, there is no guarantee you will be converted to permanent staff even if they are happy with your performance 6) So this is more like a long independent postdoc position? 7) Fixed, 5-year position with no guarantee for permanent position sounds the same as an assistant professorship no? Assuming there is a posibility that you get promoted. 8) The staff associate is like assistant professor, as you are supposed (and supported) to start your independent research group. Similarly to tenure track, you are not guaranteed that after 5 years you will get promoted to permanent, but some permanent faculty in multiple Carnegie departments started as staff associates, so it seems it can happen. 9) University-style tenure at a research (i.e. non-teaching) instutution seems weird. I suspect it's more just a continuation of your contract with promotion after 5 years rather than a real tenure situation where you can take your research in a totally new direction or even stop publishing entirely without termination. 10) In most job searches outside of academia, "fixed term" means just that. There is an fixed end date, and thats it. Applicants should not expect the position to continue. If this isn't the case here, it would be helpful is someone from Carnegie could clarify. 11) From the Director of the Department: "satisfactory performance does not necessarily mean that a Staff Scientist position will be available when a Staff Associate is nearing the end of their term". | 4 | |

Interfolio says Oct 13, 2021, which cannot be right 3) Under Application Instructions. Typo on interfolio applicaiton reveiws start on Feb. 1, 2021. 4) This department has historically been hard for women and minority candidates and early career faculty but has recently been working on improving diversity and inclusion x3 [Extended discussion of past & current climate of this department deleted, which comment #4 perfectly summarizes. -- AP] 5) The deadline is so late! Will they start reviewing way earlier do you think? 6) unlikely 5 again) I wonder what these would mean for possible negotiations? Most other places would have be putting out offers as the *interviews* are going out at Yale... 7) Maybe they are hoping (wishing) it will be late enough to allow for in person interviews? It is a very strange timeline to be posted so early with such a late deadline. 8) of course Yale got all the negative things said about it somehow removed from this comment box. AP) @8 I removed the lengthy discussion because it was already encapsulated in #4's comment (which is not entirely pro-Yale). I don't want this site devolving into the toxicity that is consuming the rest of the world, so if you want to trash people or departments, do it on twitter. 9) @AP Thank you for that or just go on the venting section. Its specifically there for you know venting. 10) Grad student here, while this is general hire dept is looking strongly for diversity applicants; @8 want to reiterate @4 - dept is under new leadership, has hired for diversity each of the last 3 years, & working on climate/inclusion. | 1 | |

That said, it would be good to know if there are indications that there is an inside candidate here (I never understood what the previous discussion was on about). 4) Discussion was not about an inside candidate (5) what is the difference between a dossier and a teaching statement? This job looks amazing but the description of the person they want is intimidating "research excellence" and "teaching excellence" and some more excellence. 6) https://tatp.utoronto.ca/teaching-toolkit/teaching-dossier/preparing-teaching-dossier-guidelines/#TDG 7) that dossier is a lot of work to put together, but this position seems worth it. 8) Thanks, #4! 9) Recently spoke to someone on SC and the dossier was an HR requirement. They hope it won't be intimidating to current postdocs. Faculty in the dept are open to answering questions. 10) Thanks @9. It definitely is! The dossier makes it seem like they want folks with very extensive teaching experience. 11) Generally, but especially during the current climate, I don't think it is unreasonable to expect an excellent research and teaching background 12) excellence in teaching seems somewhat relative, and many postdocs will not have had the opportunity to put together the materials suggested in the dossier. 13) can anyone who has applied through UofT's app portal comment on whether it'll take reference letters sent with Interfolio? kind of nervous since the system doesn't solicit letters until you complete and submit it. 14) I am on the faculty here, and have been on numerous searches, though I am not on this one. The "dossier" is a top-down HR-imposed solution to a problem that did not exist, and which is currently being reviewed/reconsidered. We do not have a preference for those with teaching experience, nor are there "inside candidates" (for this search or past ones). We realize that many junior candidates will have limited teaching or even TA experience / opportunities, and that most post-docs won't have the opportunity to assemble all this stuff. Please submit a thoughtful teaching statement. If you've taught classes as a primary instructor, give us some overview of what classes, how well you did, and if you'd like to keep teaching them. 15) Thanks #14 for explaining here. x2 16) Super bizarre to hear the search committ "doesn't have a preference for those with teaching experience"... why wouldn't you have a preference for this? 17) Because a lot of postdocs don't have the opportunity to teach their own classes and a 'preference for those with teaching experience' would heavily bias towards current Assistant Professors? 18) @17 That is an interesting point about bias towards current Assistant Professors. I know lots of postdocs that have taught their own classes though (I wish I had an estimate). For postdocs out there, it is certainly not a bad idea to find an opportunity to teach a class on your own. There are lots of online adjunct positions right now. 19) Not always possible, for example if you are on a grant with 100% effort/salary, or if you are on a visa you cannot be employed by other sources. 20) @19 thanks for the good points | 3 | |

Ideally both. 3) says it is multi year effort--any idea who recent hires were for comparison? 4) can one survive in LA on the salary they pay? 5) any idea who is on the search committee? 6) #4 UC prof salaries are fine for LA (would take years of saving and a commute to buy a house though) 7) @4 & 6: a lot of UCs provide benefits to purchase housing. 8) similar to #5, how does the search work internally across departments? i.e. who are we writing the applications for? 9) Seems like if you do DEI work, but its not a major part of your "brand" as scientist, you shouldn't bother applying. Am I wrong on this? 10) Just my opinion but I don't think you need for your DEI work to be super high profile or novel if that's what you mean. But you need a consistent track record to suppport the idea that you would be effective in promoting DEI initiatives as a prof. One outreach event is not likley to do it. 11) Just saw the following on twitter about this hire by a UCLA faculty member, maybe that makes it a bit more clear: "All Life Sciences departments are participating in a search for a Mentor Professor. Key points: you get to do research and DEI efforts + mentoring are protected service (and count towards promotion)." 12) @7 Though not all (Current UC Prof here). Also varies a bunch by UC Uni and College. Programs help a smidge but don't solve the fundamental problem at most UCs. For example, housing costs keep skyrocketing but the programs remain unchanged or just plain cut. 13) @that's a real bummer for the diversity agenda - need to seriously consider which folks are able to afford living in LA like that x4. 14) Why is everybody talking about cost of living in LA? There are other positions at UC Berkeley and UC Santa Barbara and nobody is talking about that. Am I missing something? Is cost of living in LA actually higher than in Berkeley or Santa Barbara? 15) This search is EXTREMELY broad: open rank at any of <Ecology and Evolutionary Biology; Integrative Biology and Physiology; Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics; Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology; Institute for Society and Genetics; Psychology>.

In addition, describe how your personal faith intersects with your teaching, your professional life, and/or your intellectual life." As an evolutionary biologist (though not athiest) I'm not sure how to approach this without entering a mine field.

(7) @ mod, are comments 5 and 6 really necessary? x5 This job could be great for someone, and yes Christian students need evolution professors too X5 (8) If you google a bit, they have evolution in their faculty research page and have several articles that essentially esponse theistic evolution http://pepperdine-graphic.com/exploring-the-evolution-tug-of-war/ (9) I am inclined to think that the skepticism of this position is warranted (i.e. do not delete comments 5 or 6). One could ask for any number of statements to specify a very specific demographic that should apply (to the exclusion of others), but why is that helpful? Isn't a diversity and inclusion statement (not requested) more helpful? At the very least, I think it is rude to waste applicants' time by asking for a statment that will be used very infrequently. Although, conversely, as someone who does not want to work for an exclusive employer, maybe they are saving me time by making their biases plain. I am not an aetheist, btw.

I'm at an R1 school with a 50/50 appointment. I rarely have more than 6 graduate students, and I'm expected to teach 9 credits per year (typically 3 classes, but I teach 2, 4-credit courses with labs). 3) also that salary...ouch :( 4) I agree the salary is less than the person deserves, but it is pretty in line with what you will find a teaching universities of this size. Doens't make it ok, but it is what it is. 5) I think it looks ok as long as you take the most charitable spin on everything, like 6 mentees, 4 courses a year, $60k/9mo, and the assumption that the department has prior funding relationships with govt agencies that the new hire can slide into. But even still wouldn't work for many. | ||

Maybe it can lead to W2 there? 3) @2 it sounds like it can? 4) @2 and @3 - you addtionally also apply to TUM to be an assistant professor (W2 in this case) and if selected you will run your group at a MPI and be assosiated with TUM until 6 years at MPI are over and you may transition to a W3 tenured position at TUM. Of course they don't select a lot of candidates for this option and it depends if they will need a professor in a respective department in the next couple of years (e.g. someone retires) 5) I'm a current MPI group leader (at a different institute). They are great fellowships with great funding, and assistant professor equivalent in many ways, but they are not tenure track. And from what I hear on the MRGL grape vine, the TUM assistant professorships are basically just for optics - very few group leaders who apply are offered them. 6) Just wondering how many of those who applied have previous links to Germany: 3 | Or not: 3 | 8 | |

No visa sponsorship. 2) seems like a failed search. Got a rejection from them just last week. 3) This position was filled and then the person had to remove themselves because of a personal matter. 4) Any idea if they will be re-running search or using the list they already sent rejections to? 5) I don't believe we are re-using previous applications, but I can find out. 6) The hiring committee will not have access to the previous list of applicants or their materials and therefore anyone that wants to be considered will have to reapply. | 3 | ||

They changed the wording to make sure the aplicants have cognitive/behavioral experience. "We welcome applications from researchers in neighbouring fields, such as behavioural ecology or behavioural neuroscience, but the successful applicant must clearly demonstrate excellence in research on cognitive aspects of animal behaviour, such as learning and memory, spatial cognition, communication, decision making, timing, numerical ability, or perception. Furthermore, the successful applicant will have clear expertise in the use of behavioural methods and analyses to address topics in cognition." | 5 | |

The contract may be prolonged for up to four years, depending on performance and confirmation of funding at the time of review. 2) is this position restricted to people working on marine organisms? 3) @2 it would seem so: "Although all current groups work on animals, projects on other marine organisms will also be considered." So, algae and cyanobacteria may be fine, but snow leopards maybe not so much. 4) @2 using marine organisms as models is part of the mission of the center. 5)"It is also a goal to recruit people with immigrant backgrounds. People with immigrant backgrounds and people with disabilities are encouraged to apply for the position." | ||
