We're still trying to fill this position for this fall so we're reviewing applications as they come in. Fisheries biologist preferred (Fisheries Management is a required course in the teaching load) but someone with an aquatics background that could learn to teach fisheries will definitely get a look. | 1 | |

Also, the rank seems to be lecturer 2. lecturer in UK/Ireland is usually permanent, no? 2) The ad says the position is for 5 years (maybe lecturer in Ireland is not the same as in the UK?) 3) This is definitely a fixed-term position, not a permanent position, not a tenure-track position. Most likely the function of this position is to release teaching from the paleontology person in the School that recently got an ERC grant, 4) I took summer classes as an undergrad here. UCC is a great campus and great location. | ||

I assume they filled it because the start date must be soon. 3) zoom seminar/ interview week of 7/26, timeline for decision/ offer was said to be late week of 8/1 or early the next (depending on admin speed) - same for both positions. 4) any updates? 5) no word (#3 here) as of 8/11/2021 6) #3 again, rejection email on 8/27/2021, sounds like they filled the position | ||

14 | 6/12/2021 20:09:20 | University of California, Irvine | California | Biology | 6/27/2021 | https://recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF06780 | Assistant Professor of Teaching | Tenure Track | 1/11/22 10:47 | 1) looks like it requires 3-5 letters of reference at time of application 2) Yikes. Can't do that under pandemic / post-pandemic exhaustion conditions. 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 | |
17 | 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. | ||

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 | |

You could say that about a lot of colleges. 4) Sure, but they barely survived closing from financial exigency a couple years ago and it is tiny. I certainly wouldn't want to take this position planning for it to become long term, no matter how well you do the job. x2 4) Okay, let's add the same for the majority of private colleges in OH, MA, etc., except that their financial situation has not yet been exposed. 5) Sure the fate of many small schools is up in the air right now - but - Sweet Briar announced their closure in 2015, but then pulled back on that and stayed open. I wouldn't be so fast to discount what @2 and @4 said. 6) Email received on 9 July 2021 saying that the position was offered and accepted, search is closed | |||

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 10) any updates/news yet?

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? 15) Invitation to interview received towards end of July | 4 | |

I don't think the disciplinary focus matters as much 6) Well that's depressing. 7) I know competitive pools sometimes priortize already professors, but I hope you are wrong about the not even considering post-docs.

(8/16) x2 4) were references even contacted yet for a shortlist? (8/16) x2 4) I heard from word of mouth that the shortlist of 4 candidates were released and one of them is a spouse of a prof in the department. Unsure how to feel about that choice 5) Rejection email sent 10/29 | 5 | |

Fair enough! 13) Anything?? 14) Nothing yet (x2). 15) Chair of this search has notified on twitter he is officially on the job market https://twitter.com/TRyanGregory/status/1427655595579035651 not sure how this impacts this job search timeline or the other job searches from this university 16) Great update! This is exactly what this board is for. Certainly explains the delay. 17) Tried reaching out about this search a few weeks ago and heard nothing back.x2 18) Seems like the search below has moved along...anything here?? x2 19) What a joke...I'm always OK with not getting selected, but searches that don't come to fruition are a ridiculous waste of everyone's time. 20) any news here? Seems like all the other jobs in this cluster hire have progressed or have already finished. Disappointing that this one is taking so long. 21) Contacted chair on Nov 2 for update on progress- no response. | 7 | |

(always true in Canada) 1) Has anyone gotten a confirmation that their application was received? I haven't gotten an email yet and not sure if I should expect one. 2) I received confirmation a few hours after submission x6 3) Thank you all!! I just emailed them to ask if they received my application or what happened. 4) Has anyone heard if recs have been requested yet? 5) I am #1, they said on 6/11 that they were including my application because it was submitted before the deadline, so it did not sound like they had already selected a short list. Not sure though. 6) Gotcha. Thanks #5!. 7) on June 13, Dr. A MacDougall tweeted that it would take a while to go through the apps and not to expect to hear anytime soon. 8) Any news here? 9) None here (07/21) x 8 10) Still none, 8/4 (11) Still no news yet? x8 12) I'm giving up on this one at this point, I hope you all have better luck! x 2 13) Word from search committee is that the search is still going, just delayed by covid. Planning to finalize short list by mid-Sept. 13) Short list for phone interviews or for the full interview? 14) #13 again, sorry I mean the long list by mid-Sept. It will probably take another few weeks after that to get a short list (Canadian universities typically just invite the short list for interviews, with no phone interviews for the long list) 15) Per Andrew MacDougall's twitter on 9/17: "Finally producing a long-list for our plant job today - apologies for the long delay, for those that applied. Turns out hiring five positions at once, during summer with Covid, slowed things more than we anticipated." Yay, movement! 16) Anyone had references requested? 17) Not to my knowledge. I've asked my recommenders to let me know if/when they get contacted. x3 18) Got an email that the list was finalized for initial short interviews, and they will be contacting references soon x3 19) Sounds like these are preliminary interviews (30 minutes, virtual). I'm guessing a 2nd cut, then a final group interviewing in person? Is that your interpretation, 18? (20) Guess that means I'm out, good luck to those on the first short list! x2 (21) Yes to 19, the list is down to 11 for the short half hour interviews and after these half hour interviews the list will there will be a shorter list for the full interviews (22) I'm confused: Are they conducting short interviews before contacting references? That's the picture I'm getting here. 18: Did you receive an e-mail that was telling you that you are on the list of vitrual interviews? Or did you get an email in response to a question you asked, where they simply explained that they had completed a list and would contact referees soon? Seems odd that they'd invite for interviews without contacting refs. 23) 19 here. Yes, they're doing both prelim interviews ("discussions") and getting refs for the same group of 11. I'm guessing they're trying to speed things along given the long lag over the summer and the other positions they're hiring for. Given the size of the dept and number of searches, most of the dept is probably on at least one search committee right now. (24) and to clarify for #22 - candidates on the long list have been emailed to let them know that that they have made the long list and that their references are being contacted | 14 | |

I loved your quick fact at the beginning! Slides had great information and were very thoughtfully presented. Thank you for being the only group to directly state your expected proportion for the chi-square test. :) Good background and context, and good handling of the questions at the end of your talk. You were a bit short on time (~8:45), but otherwise wonderful job! 2) Thanks Dr. H! 3) I wish Dr. H would comment on my job talks! x3 (4) Am I missing some context here??? 5) I'm assuming someone accidentally copy-pasted their grading comments into a random cell here...6) Dr. H would be a great fit for Leeds!

Graham red squirrel and developing associated projects. 1) Looks like they are looking to hire at the Associate Professor level, so I assume they are not interested in e.g. postdocs applying. 2) Seems unusually specific for a supposedly senior hire. Faculty usually pick their own research. But if you want someone to notice your name and keep an eye out for the next round of hires, it might not hurt to submit the app if already written. And if their magical candidate who already studies Mt Graham Red Squirrels were to move, you could be backup. 3) Search chair reached out and scheduled a Zoom interview for July X 3 4) Rejection received 7/18/2021 X 2 5) offered to participate in full interview - date/format yet to be determined X2 6) In-person interview late September, but have not heard back from the search committeex2. | 5 | |

I certainly didn't specify one or the other on my application, and nothing about it in the shortlist email. 8) I didn't get *any* email from them. Strange. 9) In this case, no email is clearly a negative outcome. We may (or not) get a rejection email once the process is finished, but it's highly unlikely that they will go back to the application pool. 10) Rejection letter 6/23/2021 (x4) 11) Any update from interviewed candidates (none here yet)? Apparently they interviewed 20 candidates over 2 days for 2 posts, so could take some time. My formal interview was also a bit rushed towards the end so didn't have time to ask when to expect to hear back. 12) I got a rejection email today (7th July) after interview - so i guess not hearing is good! 13) Does anyone know if the positions have been offered? 14) A handful of candidates (assuming around 4-5) were asked for references to help with the final decision over 2 weeks ago now - some haven't heard anything but imagine the 2 offers have been made to preferred candidates and the others are being kept as back-ups (someone from the panel was on holiday the first week so doubt the offers were made until a few days ago). I'm one of those waiting to hear anything, and know an offer has been made to someone with +10 years experience! I don''t work here but know someone who does. 15) Rejection letter after interview (23/7/2021). The positions have now been filled | 11 | |
