(1) is this position more towards teaching? "Teaching responsibilities are 15 credit hours per year divided into a 3/2 teaching load." (2) They do mention research, but that seems like a high teaching load for an R2. (3) would be a high teaching load even at many SLACs 4) Totally depends on how they count 3/2 and that is highly variable across institutions. That is a common load at most SLACs and even R2s, but in some cases they might count a lecture + two lab sections as a 3 course load for one semester. (5) this is consistent with my teaching load at a smaller R2 x3 (6) I'm at a SLAC with my own research lab and a 3/3 teaching load for my first 3 years and 3/4 after that. 3/2 is a pretty standard R2 load. | ||

I know SLU is classified as an R2, but this looks like a research-heavy department. Does the teaching load match that? Is there a deadline to this position? 2) Does anyone also know what the work environment is like as a Catholic university?

And just advertised now? Seems very late to start a search for a position beginning this fall. 2) What is the review date? I don't see it posted. 3) No review date but says start fall 2021 4) I am in this department - this is not an open position which is why it wasn't advertised anywhere other than the HR site - still working to figure out how it got posted in the first place. On the up side fairly high likelihood that we will be hiring 3-4 positions in the coming year so stay posted. 5) Can't believe it's still on the site, what a waste of applicants' time 6) Which site? I think it is here to warn people not to waste their time if they find the ad on the TAMU's site. 7) I hope that 4 and 6 have good intentions, but when contacted the search commitee head has confirmed this position is real, and you should apply if interested. I'd really hate to think people here are discouraging others to apply for their own benefit. 6) I am 6 and I certainly was not trying to discourage anybody. I just assumed #4 was correct and so suggested it would be good to keep it here to save others the trouble. However, if the job is real, everybody should by all means apply. Do you know the review date? 7) They didnt offer a review date so I assume the deadline is just ASAP. 8) On July 14 I emailed the department chair who listed in the ad as the contact person and was told that the ad was posted in error and that there was no open position for evolutionary genomics. This is very odd! 9) My email (7) was after that date - very strange! Wonder what is going on here... | 2 | ||

(2) Ouch. 3) And you should have finished your PhD not later than September 6, 2016, if I got it right (but maybe tere are exceptions for child care etc.?) 4) @2, an FYI, many universities in Sweden say this, but most do not implement it as quickly as 2 years. There are lots of opportunities to learn Swedish through universities and the government, but most employeers recognize that it can be a hard language to learn. 5) You don't want to be in EvoBio tho. 6) @3 just talked to one of the hiring commitee, they would prefer a younger faculity that would develop into tenure and long term commitment to the university, but if you finished five years ago or seven that does not matter. 7) @6 @3 ad states " Applicants must have obtained a PhD degree or achieved the equivalent competence within five years prior to the end of the application period." that means PhD must be awarded *after* Sept 6 2016. | ||

That's unfortunate. 3) curious about start date for this one - for fall??? 4) also curious about job priorities / responsibilities, considering that the application requires a three-page research statement but only a one-page teaching statement despite this position being "assistant professor of teaching". 5) @4,as I understand it, and in reference to the full job description of implementation & assessment of a specific Biology program, the research statement is related to the candidate's pedagogical research and links to UCI partnerships, etc. In addition there is a one-page diversity statement which is critical for equitable pedagogy anywhere and especially at an institution that is "minority-serving" by a few metrics. I clicked through to confirm what #1 wrote, and it is true that there are reference letters required upfront. I was considering applying but the demographics of Irvine itself include 2% Black people. That's really not a comfort in these times, "even with" a new US President. Can any speak to the area's safety level for Black folx? 6) I lived in Orange County for 3 years. The surrounding area is not minority friendly, though I never saw anything that would indicate unsafe situations. I rarely saw Black people and occasionally heard or saw negative comments when Black or Hispanic people walked into restaurants. The social issues outside the university were a source of disappointment when I lived there. The University and the faculty housing is very liberal. The surrounding region is largely gated communities where money influences the social scene. I think you could find a path if the job is one that you want. Some faculty on campus are more aware of the issues facing URMs than others. There will be allies. You may want to choose where you live nearby carefully. I hope those comments help you with your choices. I would still consider applying if you are interested in the position. You can make your own decision after a visit if selected. Best of luck with the job search. 7) this is #5 @#6 - thank you for replying. Are you Black? If not, you may not have seen or experienced everything relevant. Publically obvious, negative comments towards Black and Hispanic persons is an unsafe environment. This also tracks with what others have told me about the region. I won't be putting the energy into such an extensive job application (including reference letters upfront) in this general location, especially when we are already living in a majority Black community. | ||

PhD preferred but ABD considered. A habitat ecologist is most appropriate, but other topical areas have great value as well and it looks like there is some flexibility. Address questions to HSU wildlife department chair daniel.barton@humboldt.edu 2) California is working to transition Humboldt into a Cal Poly school, so there could be some great growth at this school in the furture! 3) Contacted for remote interview 7/9 | 1 | |
55 | 6/7/2021 15:49:21 | Claremont McKenna, Pitzer, and Scripps Colleges | California | Biology | https://www.scrippscollege.edu/hr/faculty/visiting-assistant-professor-position-in-biology | Visiting Assistant Professor | Fixed Term | 7/1/21 11:56 | Successful candidates will be able to teach in the introductory biology sequence (spanning basic concepts in cell and molecular biology, plant and animal diversity, ecology, and evolution), vertebrate physiology, and/or a general biology course for non-science majors. Participation in directing undergraduate research projects may be possible. The position is for a one-year appointment with the potential for renewal. 2) PhD preferred, but ABD also considered. 3) I applied for this position several weeks ago. I wonder if I was passed up or if the reivew has not begun. 4) It is my understanding that the review has not begun. 4) Informational phone call/screening on 6.19. I declined to go futher in the process. 5) @4 - can i ask why you declined to go further in the process? were there any red flags? 6) @5- I felt the person I spoke to in one sense was man-splaining what academic interview processes were like with an assumption I had never been interviewed before, which is not the case; or he was trying to give an overview with poor delivery--unsure. My interpretation, which could be off, is that he kept using phrases and comments that were innuendos of this is a dead-end gig and unless you're desperate for teaching experience this position could set you back. I also was shocked that they wanted me to develop a whole new course to begin on Aug 30--when this school prides themself on student experience and teaching, I find this at odds with their mission and values. He also said there might be a few hundred dollars to support student research but any lab space would be shared and you would have to ask an existing faculty member. Maybe these circumstances are totally normal for VAPs, but my other opportunity on the table was better all-around. 7) @6, from a member of the search committee: We apologize if the tone of the phone call came across as off-putting. The intention for thoroughly explaining the interview process is consistent for all candidates, and is meant to level the playing field for those who have yet to go through the process. It is our goal to prioritize inclusion and equity at all levels, and to provide ample resources for everyone to succeed. We value visitors in the department and many of our visiting faculty go on to long-term careers in good positions. We appreciate your feedback, and wish you the best with your future career. 8) @4 - thanks for giving your honest opinion and kudos to you for walking away from something that didn't feel like the right fit for you. It's nice to see that the search committee responded and hopefully it gave them an understanding of how one's intentions may not translate to the actual experience of candidates who have to navigate the academic job market 9) As someone who has applied/interviewed for multiple VAPs, done one, and participated in multiple VAP searches, this sounds like a fairly normal position and interview process. Applicants are often very diverse, from ABD to people who have been postdocs for 5+ years. Many VAP applicants haven't done any/many interviews before or aren't clear on what the position would entail/may have expectations that might not match reality. I think erring on the side or more info on the process (which may benefit less-experienced applicants) and clear expectations is a good way to make the process generally more inclusive and ensure an applicant doesn't get a position that they'd be disappointed in (which it sounds like worked out here). | 1 | ||

Is it worth bothering to apply when the description is this specific (and you don't work with Nicaraguan cichlids)? [Discussion of alleged PI misconduct deleted. We can not let this board be used for anonymous accusations of people / departments, because it puts the moderators in legal jeopardy and usually devolves into a back-and-forth of unprovable statements.

But, the same PI has made misleading advertisements with this same title before, and people end up working as postdocs. I am not saying to not apply, but be careful and be aware! ;) 4) This same position has been advertised 2x before. The last time someone did accept the position, not sure what happened afterwards... (5) @AP a Nature article about misconduct is not a 'personal accusation', it is a fact highlighting an o 6) The PI was literally found guilty of misconduct by his university. This is in the public record and should be known by would-be applicants. 7) and guilty by the German Education Ministry. https://www.nature.com/articles/430007a 8) thanks for this info! It's important to know what one could be getting into. 9) Note that the article is from 17 years ago 10) Speak to previous/current lab members before accepting any position. 11) Note that there is formally no "assistant professor" in Germany. This reads like what is called an assistant position with teaching and research component. 12) Also, several German instituions consider these Jr. Group Leader postiions as advanced postdoc positions 13) You can see that the current asst. profs in the group have the lead PI as a coauthor on all their papers. Seems very much like a long-term postdoc to me. 14) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axel_Meyer 15) [It's ok to discuss this position, but keep please it civil. - AFP] (16) The PI does not seem very civil himself: "In every way are [the German undergrads'] butts carefully powdered and laziness and incompetence is forgiven with care and understanding." - Axel Meyer in a popular German newspaper in 2015. | ||

This is non-tenure track, but lecturers are on 3 year contracts and treated very well in the dept. An ideal position in a great city for someone that is passionate about teaching. 2) I've seen this posted i think twice before, unless they are hiring a bunch of new ecology instructors. what's the sitch here? 3) I don't recall seeing this same post before, there was a genetics TT hire this year, and a Intro Bio NTT hire last fall. I've heard good things about the working environment in Biology at Loyola. 4) This is a new position that has not been offered in some time. Loyola has been doing a lot of hiring though due to increased enrollments and a faculty retirment buyout. Also, the Biology dept and the School for Environmental Sciences both hire ecologists. 5) I had a second interview July 13-14 | 1 | |

One or more class will have a lab in addition to the lecture." 2) 'Brief statement of research interests' - does this position come with funding or space for research? 3) I don't think you'll have much time for research with a 3:3+lab teaching load... 4) @3, 2 here- yeah that was sort of my point. I thought I was missing something - why is a research statement required given the expectations we see written for the position? 5) It seems weird to me too (I've been applying to VAPs and seems pretty common to ask for it). 6) @5 what's the appeal of VAP positions? Building experience? | ||

Fellows will have the opportunity to transition to a tenure-track position in the School of Life Sciences, and they will be supported by a network of mentors in the School of Life Sciences and the Graduate College. 1) [comment removed for being inaccurate/misleading -AFP] 2) Worked in the department for a while if you have any questions just post them here. NOTE: 1) above is incorrect -- these fellowships are open to all applicants, regardless of race, ethnicity, or US citizenship (3) While I appreciate the legal language, that's clearly not the case here (though I'm not saying that is a bad thing). [discussion over appropriate page deleted -AP] AP) A tricky edge case, but since it can likely transition to faculty & to get more eyeballs on the ad, let's just leave it here. 4) In regards to 3, if you've done impactful research into the, "disparities faced by Black communities and by communities of Color more broadly", then I don't see why this job call wouldn't apply to you, regardless of your race/ethnicity. People of all background do great research in this area. x3 5) Yeah, I imagine you could even spin something like working on vitamin D research, or any disease that affects people of color (or even poor people with the correct pitch) and fit this description. 6) While all true, not filling these positions with people of color who *also* do this type of research would be a bad look for ASU that I expect they are acutely aware of. 7) References requested 6-15-2021 x2 8) Any updates on this yet? saw a recent appointment announced on twitter and was wondering whether it is related to this call 9) Still waiting to hear from them too | 2 | |

As with any search, the more time that goes by, the higher the likelihood I was not the candidate they desired. Stay strong #5; we are valuable, and we'll find a good match! 7) lots of crickets... anyone hear anything? 8) have not heard anything either 9) No one has been contacted yet, still reviewing applications. 10) Looks like they are going to miss that July 1, 2021 start date. Any update on what the start date would be? Are they still looking to have someone hired for the upcoming fall semester? 11) Inquired with a member of the department today (not on committee). Here is the response: "As far as I know, everything is on schedule - no invitations made yet though. Remember we are on quarters here and just ended last week... speed will pick up now." 12) Any update on the process? Have invitations for interviews been sent out? 13) Nothing here. 14) email response from search chair 20-July: "You will be contacted with any updates with regard to your application" - taking this as a sign they are moving forward with other candidates - getting a little late in the game anyway don't ya think? | 4 | |
