You are supposed to write a statement saying how you meet the search criteria. Given the vagueness of the job description, you have a lot of room to work with. When I applied for my position here, I submitted my normal US application materials, plus an additional statement saying how/why I fit the criteria. Apparently people did that earlier this year for this position (that was cancelled, and now we're readvertising it), and some on the search committee complained about the US formating. I personally don't care about how candidates present their info, but we will need to judge you on something more than a CV. I'd personally appreciate it if candidates include a research statement. 6) Thanks, that's very helpful info! Can you give any guidance on the teaching portfolio aspect for applicants who may not be used to that? Are there any specific things (e.g., sample syllabi, activities) that are expected? 1) It's really the wild west here in terms of format. The Australians just want you to address all the points in the job requirements in one document (usually the cover letter). A full-blown teaching portfolio is not required. We would like to see what sorts of subjects you could teach/co-teach. Take a close look at our current offerings. The ability to teach basic botany, plant ecology, local plant ID's, etc... would be great. 👍 7) Thank you so much, this is really really helpful information! | 1 | |

Just confirming 7) @6 you Americans and many other folk 8) FYI I think that you need to solicit references through the online system and they only go out once you've submitted all your other material - at least I think that's the case, I nearly got caught out with the Computational Biology job! 9) For this posting the references need to submit their letters directly to the hiring committee, not through the online system like the Comp Bio one.

Following positive evaluation, the position can become permanent." 2) Make sure you understand the German "Junior prof" system. you can only get tenured if uni finds a budget for a line. you can also be stellar, but if they don't find the cash, no tenure. 3)Thanks @2. This sounds terrible. Can you bring in your own money via DFG/ERC and so on? How likely is this? And consequently: how scared will you be that you'll be out of a job at the age of 56? 4) To clarify what @2 said: German Junior Prof. positions can be "actual" tenure-track and this specific position seems to belong to this category. Translating from the more explicit German job advert which states that this is a "Juniorprof (W1) position with tenure-track to W2" and that "after positive tenure-evaluation the position is transfered to a permanent W2 professor position". The German advert also mentions that the funding comes from the "Federal Tenure-Track progam" (https://www.tenuretrack.de/en/the-tenure-track-programme/the-federal-government-lander-programme). 5) Thanks, #4! 6) Does the part "applicants should have been maximally employed for 6 years at a university prior to appointment so that they do not overstep the national laws relating to fixed-term academic employment (WissZeitVG)" refer to 6 years of postdoc prior to THIS appointment, or does it refer to 6 years at W1? Thanks! 7) @6 It means that prior to this appointment you only should have 6 total years of appointments in any fixed-term academic position by a university in Germany (that includes PhD position, if you haven't had a fellowship). This is because you can only be employed for a maximum of 12 years on fixed-term academic contracts. Some some of your positions were 3rd party funded, that changes. Hope your are not more confused now ...8). Was this posting taken down? 9) It still can be found on other pages: https://www.dzg-ev.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Tenured_Halle2020.pdf | ||

Are you confused by the term lecturer? Remember that in OZ, UK, etc... a lecturer is the same as an assistant prof. 3) This position was created to replace Colin Simpfendorfer who left JCU this year. | ||

We especially encourage applications from candidates whose scholarship bridges the research interests across the sections of our department, namely Human and Evolutionary Biology, Marine and Environmental Biology, Molecular and Computational Biology, and Neurobiology." Multiple positions available. Dornsife=main campus. 2) You have to start the application to get info on letters, statements etc.: Please upload in a single pdf file, a curriculum vita, a cover letter, and research, teaching, and diversity-equity-inclusion statements.; and 4 letters of rec are required. 3) Based on my reading of this and the other diversity hires on campus, I thought the 4th letter could be directly addressing outreach and inclusion. I got one from a nonprofit that I work with. Hoping I didn't mess that up. 4) I've never been in a search committee, but a 4th letter coming from a purely DEI referrer sounds very good to me, particularly if your other 3 are chiefly academic. 5) @4 "purely DEI" and academia doesn't/shouldn't be seperate. That's the problem with academia. 6) (4 again) @5 I don't mean to start a war here (mainly because I think we see this the same way), but what you suggest is not at all what I meant. I was replying to #3's indication that their fourth letter would be from a non-profit, i.e. I assume a "chiefly" non-academic institution. In contrast to that, I assumed we could safely call the other three letters "chiefly academic" (I did not write "purely"), meaning "chiefly" addressing research since that's what the referrers would be in a position to discuss regarding #3, for whatever reason. 3 again) My DEI/Outreach letter was asked to focus almost entirely on outreach. They can say how great I am, but they don't work in CompBio so they don't have the right credentials to critique research or its place in the field the way that my academic advisors could. My advisors also cannot advocate for the full impacts of my outreach in the same way that the nonprofit can. Academic research and service have to be linked, but the perspectives are very different. 7) (4&6 again) Yep, that was the assumption I had made in my comments. Thanks for clarifying, @3, and apologies if what I wrote came across as suggesting that academia and DEI efforts should be separate – I think we can all agree that they should not. 3) Hi 4&6, I also thought it was important to make that distinction in light of the comments from 5. There should be a link, but complementary expertise will have its own perspective 8) References were requested-- I can't remember which jobs at USC made it clear that they were requesting up front or after a first cut. For this one they requested the letters already. 9) I also received the reference request (11/16). They only asked for the contact information, but asking the letters before the review date.

No doubt.5) If you're in the market for a job like this, and you did not know about it or a similar opening (e.g., other Coop Unit) because somebody did not post it on this board in time, there's probably blame to be placed elsewhere beside on the anonymous person who then did post it a mere day late. 6) I think the call for solidarity on a board like this, which seems enitlrey grounded in a spirit of solidarity, is fair. If you use this board to find jobs, and you see jobs that might fit elsewhere, it seems ethical to share them. But then again, I don't have a permanent job and maybe the poster now does because they played dirty so ;-) 7) This is my 3rd year on this board and this discussion happens every year. Would people complaining about after-deadline posts prefer that posting after the deadline were disallowed? 8) Sorry OP but if this is your only source for finding job openings, you're doing it wrong. 9) Dirty pool? I'm pretty sure Fed HR uses cholrine. 10) @8 Thanks! | 1 | |

In my experience, there is little difference in rank or preception in rank between the two among faculty. One focuses on teaching and the other on research.

Some uber talented teachers and they have been a huge campus asset on pedagogy and tech advice with the switch to remote. 7) Davis prof here (in the EVE dept.).

However, do you think it would be wise of those applying to limit their boastful claims in their documents and stick only to flat facts? In some countries it is encouraged to brag a bit ("this article resolved a long-standing question of..."), but if Norwegians are likely to look upon such language with disdain or even find it rude or offensive, then it would be very helpful to know. Thanks in advance! 5) Norwegian weighing in here: No need to worry in the application phase I'd say - if anything you'll get a heads up because your application will grab their attention. In the daily social interactions though it's common to turn it down slightly. 6) Takk! | ||

There are a couple of good programs to get funding for postdocs (e.g., Zuckerman Fellowship) and there many great ecologists in Israel. 2) I always admire the science coming out of Tel Aviv, but there are very few female faculties. 3) unfortunatly this is true for many of the departments in isreal. But they do at least recognize that this is a problem and are finding ways to increase female retention in academia (e.g., increasing local postdoc fellowship opportunities for women). 4) this has been a hot topic in every discussion I've ever attended on hiring at Israeli universities. They are woefully aware that they need to hire more women and increase their diversity. I would actually encourage women to apply. | 1 | |
