Wide net implies that there is not already a preferred candidate, and the group (if this is the one) is strong and healthy (no infighting). 2) @1 are you suggesting this is more of a computational, bioinformatics research position? 3) Looks like it's focused on wildlife? I'm wondering if someone with a broader ecosystem ecology focus could fit. 4) 173 applicants according to usajobs.gov {insert crying emoji} 5) Why do some jobs show the number of applications and others don't?

Is this a remote position? 5) @1, maybe too late for this one, but salary should be in the 70-90k range if a recent PhD, 90-110k-ish if experienced; source, comparing to DC gov't jobs and my conservation NGO position. | 1 | ||

Does that mean 12 years experience after the PhD or 12 years after bachelors degree? In my opinion graduate school should count as "years of experience", but probably many HR staffers would not see it that way. | 1 | ||
25 | 5/25/2022 16:15:48 | Rocky Mountain Research Station | Montana | Wildlife & Terrestrial Ecosystems | 5/27/2022 | Supervisory Biological Scientist (GS 13) | Permanent Non-Academic | 6/6/22 13:32 | From usa jobs post: For additional information about the duties of this position, please contact Michael Schwartz at Michael.k.schwartz@usda.gov 2) this is literally open for 4 days (even less, if you assume it wasn't posted at 12:01am on the first day) and closes after 30 applications. This does not seem to be a real advertisement, though I'd love to be proven incorrect. 2) they had a open call for this position a few months ago wiht instructions for applicants to email the contact I assume for initial screening. 3) Many federal govt jobs at this level have short open windows and limits on applications. The fact that there will be an opening is usually well advertised ahead of time, but then there is a short period to actually submit your application. 4) Agree, especially with USFS. There was one very similar in the southeastern region earlier in the year. 5) This is not unusual at all for federal hiring. Honestly in these situations it is much more parismonious to assume that federal hiring practices place some very stringent constraints on how and when postings come open, that hiring managers have very little control over how things go, and that folks are trying to make the most of a hiring system that was not designed to for PhD-level research scientist positions. Job searches in the federal government look very different from the academic environment. 6) My PI at the USDA said that any job posted for less than a week wasn't "real" and was usually created as a way to bump a person to a higher "promotion potential" GS series. Like if a person was capped at a GS 10, they would create a new position that was a GS 11-12 and only open it for 3 days so that person could slide in. It's interesting that that advice might not be universal across government agencies. My postdoc there was also only open for a few days technically, but that was because he had advertised elsewhere and chosen me, then I had to apply through USAjobs in a 3 day window. 7) @6, but couldn't they then close it to the public and only open to career transition? unless there is some agency rule about GS 13+ being open to the public. Regardless, the limit on applications does look like this was some sort of internal/already decided hire. 8) If this was truly an internal hire it would not be open to the public 9) My federal agency has to fight HR to get USAjobs postings open for a reasonable length of time; the default is quite short, even when there's no internal candidate. We were recently quite pleased to get a 14-day window. 10) The time and # of applicants accepted is all HR. My USFS research position was open for 5 days or up to 30 applicants, whichever came first. I assumed internal hire as well, but got the job without any federal experience. Always apply if you think you're qualfiied. | 2 | ||

Did that hire fall through? Job is not actually posted at the URL listed.... 3) I can't imagine why anyone would apply for these visiting positions. It just shows these colleges that it's ok not to invest in hiring faculty full-time 4) Or it shows that they need someone to cover a course for a year...and all kinds of reasons people might apply. 5) These positions are great for people looking into PUI/SLAC careers. Better stepping stone than a PostDoc for most of those jobs. 6) @4 more accurately, it shows that they are running under-staffed and are forced to cover for internal shortages through exploitative short-term contracts that are probably not as well compensated as the person being replaced for the year. 7) @6 and 4 -- it's certainly worth checking into to avoid those traps but I've held a VP at PUI that put me on pay scale as TT faculty and I filled gaps due to sabbatical and NSF program officer assignments. Students needed and/or planned for those classes to be available. with a small faculty being down even 1-2 profs for a year causes all sort of scheduling havoc. 8) faculty member in the dept here - we actually have a second record sized incoming class and have someone leaving, so this is a last minute VAP search. This is a FANTASTIC place to work. Manageable teaching load, wonderful colleagues, possibility of - and support for - research for visitors, great students. 9) I agree with #3’s comments… The fact that the department expects people to quickly uproot their lives for (I’m assuming, based on the disappointing lack of information) a one-year gig with no stability seems to go against the idea of them being supportive to visitors. The best way to support early-career academics is to not take advantage of their desperation in this abhorrent market and dangle these short-term jobs before them. How on earth is someone supposed to teach/mentor, pursue their own research/publish, and still churn out applications to hopefully land something permanent in the 2022-2023 cycle? x2 10) Not to mention they'll mostly be submitting applications in approximately their first month at this job so it's not like the experience can be much help in the single job cycle you might get while there. x2 11) From personal experience, these jobs may help you get a TT position but not at a place like this. High-ranked SLACs want the prestige that comes from someone doing a productive research post doc, securing grant funding, and publishing papers. These positions would be better if there was a remote chance they would hire one of their own VAPs. x2 | |||

Last time there was rumour about an internal candidate. 2) I'm fairly sure that the internal candidate for last year's position got the job. This is probably a new position. 3) Honest questions: is this a liveable wage? A gross salary of 3800/month with 37% taxes is barely 2400 euros a month...4) The internal candidate did get the last job and this is a new position. As for living wage, 3800/month is the lowest end of the pay scale and you get a 30% tax deduction clause for 5 years (if you're an immigrant going into the Netherlands). It should also be noted that the Netherlands pays you for 14 months per year (an extra month for holiday pay and an extra month for end of year bonus) with an automatic 2-3% pay increase per year and increase in payscale on top. So if you're the lowest possible pay bracket you make 53,200 euros per year which is more than enough. You have to remember that you'll likely live within a 20 minute cycle to the campus and almost everyone here cycles, which saves you an immense amount. Yes, I currently work in Dutch Academia! 5) Plus you don't spend inordinate amounts to send your kids to college, and get government pension, healtchare is cheaper, etc..etc...etc... 6) Unless you want to send your kids to the local international school (not saying you should, just something to consider) 7) Well that applies for any job, life anywhere will be more expensive if your kids go to private school.... 8) Perhaps more relevant if applicants are international. 9) That also applies to all postings here (a considerable number of people here are not from the countries they are applying for) 10) @4 Ah, the internal candidate from last time is finally listed as assistant prof on the webpage ;)... 11) invite to zoom interview 6/1 12) Just heard that they received about 70 applications | 6 | ||

But there will be people on here who say "I applied late and still got the job!" So ... if it's your dream job why not, but I wouldn't expect anything if it were me. 3) I might counter that and say yes. Someone came and posted this on here 10 days after the best consideration date. It could have been someone on the search committee because they have a small applicant pool. 4) I am the person who posted this job here - I am not on the serch committee or affiliated with this university, but I saw the job posting and wanted to share it here. No idea if it is worth submitting an app. 5.) I contacted the search committee, they are already in zoom interview stage 6) Nice that they advertised on Craig's list but not here. 6) I just applied it and then noticed that it was posted past the due date. Who is on the Committee we can contact? 7) Well either it was purposely poorly advertized because they already had the person they wanted or they didn't really attempt to publize it in the common places for our fields. 8) You can contact Shannon https://wfscjobs.tamu.edu/jobs/quantitative-ecologist-assistant-professor-college-park-md/. I think it is more the second re: #7. They have begun zoom interviews but application is not formally closed and they may review additional applications. I just learned about it last week and am applying now. 9) Only requires cover letter, CV, transcript (no separate research/teaching/diversity statements). 10) conducted a Zoom interview this week (x2). x3, wish I had found this page before my Zoom screening interview! 11) Anyone hear anything / receive any updates / campus invite? 12) invited to on-campus interview @12 Congrats!! What day did you get notified that you got a campus interview? I'm wondering if I still have a chance... 13) 12 here, notified around May 20th 14) @12 Congrats again and good luck! And I appreciate the reply, cause coincidentally I emailed the search chair for an update on May 20 (2 weeks after my Zoom interview) and he ghosted me (still hasn't replied). 15) Applied around 1 May and have sent a couple follow-up emails; crickets. 16) 3 days scheduled for candidate research seminars in June. Guessing if you (like me) haven't heard from search committee there is no good news coming your (or my) way. 17) @16 Where did you see these seminars scheduled? | 5 | ||

What's the point of that, and is that even a legal requirement?? I think I would be a good fit for the job, but I dont have a drivers license, so...? 1) When I've seen that requirment for teaching its because of field trips, but that may not be the case here 2). Sometimes they are used for employment eligibility verification and/or required for all state employees. If you are a fit otherwise never hurts to ask 3) While it may be silly to require a DL for a job at UW, if you don't have one ...Laramie is not gonna be a fun place to live lol. x3 4) UW has gone through several nasty budget cycles and like 5 presidents in the past decade or so, and the financial management system is a nightmare, but the outdoor amenities are nearly unparalleled imo and the people across all the EEB-adjacent departments are fantastic. I personally would work there in a heartbeat, but it is not for everyone. 5) I work at UW and #4 is pretty spot on. It's a good spot to be an ecologist even if the administration has been volatile and sub-par. Awesome colleagues. Also I would not want to live here if I did not have a drivers license... everything in town is very close and walkable/bikeable but getting outside requires driving and is a major draw to living here. Lots of courses go on field trips, so could be related to job duties too. I think they want these people to teach field ecology and that would definitely involve car transport. 6) @ OP so just get a driver's license? If the job requires driving and you can't do that, you can't do the job (recognized disability(s) aside). 7) It's like saying vegetarians are welcomed, but meat-eating required for job. 8) @7 except it's not implausible that taking students on field trips is a required part of the job of teaching intro bio labs 9) OP here. Thank you, #7! #6, i dont think you know how much it costs to get a drivers license in my state 10) @OP, just apply and get your DL if you get the job. 11) Not sure if people realize some of us are more passionate about not driving than vegetarians are about not eating meat. It's one of the biggest thing you can do (stop the automobile romance) for societal change to combat global warming. I routinely biked a good distance with a trailer full of equipment in the snow - not that I am saying everyone should (what about public transport?) but then don't make driving an academic job requirement. I'll drive - over my dead body - but that's literally impossible. 12) I'm EXTREMELY sympathetic to the non-driver position but I still don't think that it's a big deal that it's in the job description. Just apply, see if you're otherwise a good fit, and then see if driving is actually an integral part of the job (eg student fieldwork) or if it's negotiable. If it's non-negotiable then, well, it's not a good fit, as things can be a bad fit for any number of reasons. 13). If you don't want to drive for any reason, then this position is probably not a good fit for you. Alternatively, if you are willing to consider that what you do 90% of the time (aka not drive) is more important than the few times you might drive as part of your duties as an instructor of the course, then go ahead and apply. | |||

Calling it predatory seems a bit unfair as departments are often stuck in terms of hiring. There is probably someone on here who would appreciate a position like this; not every job posted is for every single person on here x4 4) I'm sure they have some reason and someone will take it, but it is still predatory and the department should be ashamed to post it. I would be embarassed if I was a prof in the department. 5) It's ok, I'm sure the department would also be ashamed to have you and your lack of understanding that they can't control these situations. 6) also, this is not a job that someone moves to MA for. this is a part time job that someone local takes to make some extra money | |||

Review beginning immediately according to ad. 2) faculty member on twitter listed it as tenure track when posting about it 3) Faculty member here- this is a TT position 4) no MS in the department? only undergrad? 5) interviewed here for a position at the associated field station several years ago. One of the faculty members was combative and hostile during the interview, so be on your toes! 6) I just interviewed for the microbial ecology position and one of the things that impressed me was how collegial the department is (with the caveat at least a few faculty were not present for the interview) and yes only undergrad-no MS x2 7) re: 5, hope it wasn't me! 8) I know it's a community college, but are starting salaries for assistant profs here really only around 54k, and associate profs only around 64k? Also, I'm surprised there's no listed fraction breakdown (research / teaching / service). 9) It's not a community college! 10) You can look up salaries since it's public. Looks more like ~56-58k for recent starting assistant profs. Not great. 11) that salary is not bad for the area. pretty low cost of living 12) It's still objectively bad though. x4 13) pretty much all SUNY schools are objectively bad 14) OK, that's an argument I suppose. But the $56K in Oswego is still the equivalent to over $100K in a lot of university towns/cities...so actually not bad for a regional public university? 15) Not markedly different from any state system PUI either. 16) Link inactive?17) I know of some SUNY offers in the ~80K range 18) right, and those differences are driven by cost of living differences across the state, and the type of institution. Way more at Stony Brook compared to Oswego 19) Short list compiled, beginning initial review this week although still accepting rolling applications. 20) Please notify applicants who are no longer under consideration? 21) Invited for zoom interview (5/5/22) 22) Invited for on-campus interview 05/16/22) | 4 | |||

This is initial outreach for a permanent Conservation Geneticist position housed at the National Genomics Center for Fish and Wildlife Conservation in Missoua, MT. Interested applicants can submit a letter of interest at this time. To formally apply you must submit at application on USAjobs, which will hopefully go live at the end of March, although these dates are hard to predict.

Applicants should also note the federal benefits package. 2) This position is now live on USA jobs (3/30) and will be open until 4/5. https://www.usajobs.gov/job/645091600 3) Cool job in a nice place with lots of good research happening. Too bad its getting so expensive to live there. Salary is pretty modest. 4) Email indicating that I was referred to hiring manager (4/10) x3 5) Regarding #3: RGEG means that this is your STARTING salary and, in addition to GS step increases, you go to panel every 3 years. Salary starts at ~$80K (>3X the local median income) and three years later would be at least $87K and could be >$95K if you move up a grade. 6) From Zillow, "The typical home value of homes in Missoula is $567,192.

Which set of host-microbe interactions seems relevant to specify in the ad vs just tossing anyone who works on viruses and bothered to apply. MPMI typically refers to all 5. 4) I think 2 is referring to "incumbent" 3) Ahh, just figured the word with quotes around it - too many political podcasts lately to flag incumbent haha | |||

If not, I don't see how these comments are appropriate or fair. (5) For what it's worth, I interviewed here a few years back and did not encounter any red flags in regards to diversity/equity/inclusion.

I held a post-doc at the same time so my research was for my post-doc. I think the other FT VAP was able to publish a bit, but mostly papers from a previous post-doc or bio ed.

Teaching load is 12 credit hours per semester on average for 4 semesters. First and second labs of each course count 3 credits, so lecture and two labs would be a 9 credit load. Research undergraduate students count 1 credit for the first and 0.5 after up to 3 credits per semester. Funding from INBRE or EPSCoR comes with release time normally. I am not sure about if the references will be requested automatically. 2) Thanks for the info! 3) Current faculty here, references are automatically requested. 4) This posting has been removed, does it mean the search is no longer active? 5) Maybe the ad was taken down after the due date? I submitted on 4/11 and in their system my status is listed as "Under Review by search committee" 6) Current faculty here, review of applications is underway. Hoping to start first round of interviews soon. 7) Hi faculty member! I'm wondering if the reference letters were also due by the 11th. I submitted my application on the 11th but my letter writers took a few days to respond to automatic request. Hoping it's ok... Thanks! 8) Current faculty here, we're not DQ-ing for missing letters (in the early going), but do need them asap (if they're not in yet)! I believe that you can log-in and see if your letters are in and who still needs to send them. Letters sent after the 11th are coming through to us. Hope that helps! 9) Definitely helps - thank you so much! 10) request for zoom interview 11) Regarding comment #10 - Does that mean that applicants who have not received an email are no longer under consideration? 12) invite for full interview | 6 | ||

Candidate will be a full member of the academic senate; expected teaching load of 2 classes per quarter, including Intro bio, as well as teaching in the candidate's area of expertise. Start date listed as July 1 but is likely negotable, given how late the search got approved. It says transcripts are required to apply; unofficial transcripts are fine. 2) Does 2 classes per quarter equate to 4 courses per year? 3) Is there a significance to the membership of the academic senate? 4) I assume they mean you are treated more like a faculty member and less like a second class employee the way some teaching only professorships can be. I think the UC version of these positions are actually pretty good jobs if you don't mind stepping away from research. 5) @2 under the quarter system there are three quarters per 9-month academic year, so 6 classes per 9-month academic year @3 yes, this is a faculty position Also, the transcript requirement has been dropped, it was inserted by mistake by academic personnel office. 6) Any news? 7) interviews have been scheduled (as of 5/25) 8) Any news? 9) Offer made to top candidate, negotiations ongoing | |||

Thus, it does not belong here. 4) TT is not the only thing that makes a position worth being on this sight. This is clearly a position that qualifies as research faculty and/or research scientist.

167 | 2/24/2022 14:32:00 | Trinity College Dublin | Ireland | Organismal Zoology | 4/1/2022 | Asst Prof | Tenure Track | 6/7/22 10:46 | "This Assistant Professor position will contribute to research and teaching in Zoology at the organismal scale, which includes vertebrates and invertebrates in terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems. We have a particular interest in recruiting in the areas of comparative physiology, evolution, biomimetics, biomechanics, wildlife biology (at the organismal scale) or animal behaviour." 1) Salary of 36,000 EUR seems very low to me, is this normal for Ireland/reasonable to live on in Dublin? 2) The upper end is pretty generous--87,000 EUR. I'd hope they have some HR defined salary range where people aren't actuall hired at the lowest end for those positions. As usual, apply first, ask questions later. 3) As someone who did his PhD in Dublin, do check the eventual financial situation carefully, as that place is getting crazy expensive. Anything under 50K is likely not worth it, in my view, and if you have a family your spouse better have a good salary too. 4) Even 87k I would not call a good salary to live comfortably in Dublin. You need to consider that this is a 12-month salary, taxes are higher than in the US (over about 40k you are taxed at 40%) and housing prices are insane (check daft.ie) 5) Besides the Dublin issue, remember that you will not get a start-up to set up your lab, and that in Ireland there is no NSF-like funding for basic research, so it is difficult to fund a non-applied research program. 2again) I feel like I'm advocating for Trinity even though I don't work there. Last I looked there were plenty of funding opportunities. In Ireland PIs used to be eligible for ERC grants. Ireland also invests in research relevant to the country. There's an interest in genetic disease in the island population and in parallel genetic processes that might affect animals/plants native to Ireland. This call is more eco-focused. I know less about those funding calls, but I would not write it off based on jobs wiki comments. Try to figure out if it's viable for you and apply if it is. 6) ERC grants are waaaaaay more competitive that any grant in the US. That said is a very prestigious institution, but agreed a salary of 40k (or even 60k) will require your partner/spouse (if you have one!) to have a good salary too. 7) Salary is unfortunately lower than the already-low rates in the UK and Ireland. From experience, there is zero room for negotiation, either. 8) As someone who did a PhD in this department, I can confirm the 36K salary is rough (about the same as a postdoc in Ireland). Dublin rent is high, so many people live on the outskirts and commute in. Also the ERC grants are super tough to get, but TCD has a few grant options within the university, and there are options to apply through the Irish Research Council (how most PhDs are funded) and other institutions like Science Foundation Ireland. The people in Zoology are some of the best, warmest colleagues I've ever come across, and I wish my research fit this call. Good luck! 9) Rejection email (4/26). x3 | 3 | ||

Approval for the position came late 3) In many cases, start dates listed are irrelevant, you will negotiate that. It's probably just what a Dean approved originally. 4) #3 is correct. Note the teaching need: candidate will need to develop a Human Anatomy course 5) Does anyone know the actual start date of review on this? listed review date in this spreadsheet is 4/19 but specified as 3/24 on linked job ad. 6) That's a typo in the job ad, approval of the ad got held up for a couple weeks and so the review cannot begin before 4/19. 7) Any word yet?

There are 2 or possibly 3 positions open. at the Assistant or Associate level. Two positions are for a retirement and a faculty member who left after some time at UVI, for another position. The third position depends on whether any current Biology faculty will have joint appointments with UVI's new School of Medicine. UVI is an HBCU! Our students are incredible. Black and other scholars of color, and folx from the Caribbean, especially encouraged to apply. Positions are posted as non-TT for now; however it is possible to move from non-TT to TT (it has happened for me). Rolling review of applications will begin shortly - the review date here is what has been posted by HR. The greatest needs for expertise include those in marine ecology, plant biology, and animal & human physiology; who can teach at the undergraduate level and within our Master's of Marine and Environmental Sciences program; and who are active in research (though these are primarily teaching positions). That being said, candidates in all areas of Biology should apply. The students here are the most curious, interesting, funny, and bright of any of several institutions where I have taught. 2) Are these positions open to non-US citizenss? 3) It seems like this search has been advertised for multiple years. Was anyone hired last year? I also think there might have been a similar search the previous year? 4) #1 here @2 - yes, the positions are open to non-citizens. @3 - this is the third distinct search in the past four years. Yes, someone was hired last year; it was a failed search during 2020 due to limited number of applicants. All searches have been due to retirements (3 faculty) or departure of faculty (~2 FTE). We are starting to review applications now. 5) @3 here again-- thank you for all of the information and details! 6) #1 here again @3 - no problem! I hope it was helpful! We are starting short interviews very very soon, so if ANYONE is still interested, please apply, STAT!!!! Definite teaching needs for Fall: Aquatic Plant Physiology & Marine Invertebrate Zoology. Yet at the same time, looking for absolute best long-term fits in terms of both teaching & research. 7) First interviews have been completed. 8) Update to #7 - some first (and second) interviews may still be scheduled based on any apps received by the stated deadline, as of today. 9) Any updates?

207 | 2/8/2022 9:31:49 | Castleton University | Vermont | Wildlife & Forest Conservation | Asst Prof | Tenure Track | 4/17/22 13:49 | Review begins immediately 1) letters requested with application 2) Another position with no end date, why do universities do this? Surely the search committee has a date they will meet to review applicants, why not use that? 3) I wouldn't assume they have any date set to meet 4) any idea what pay and teaching load would be here? 5) Chronicle Data lists assistant professor salary at $48k. 6) @1 - there was no place enter references so how were yours requested automatically? 7) any updates? 8) none here 3/10 9) Gotta love these positions with no end date and no movement on the search at all. 10) Rejection email. 11) Sorry to hear @10. I havn't heard anything, maybe because I never submitted references in my original app? | 3 | |||

209 | 2/7/2022 17:42:20 | University of Cambridge | United Kingdom | Evolutionary Biology | 3/13/2022 | Asst / Assoc Prof | Tenure Track | 10/4/22 15:48 | 1) Anybody applied here and heard back? 2) no news x9 3) Seems a little late for interviews in May, no? 4) It's now May; still no-one heard back? I did not x7 5) Usually news would be out by now. It's weirder that both these jobs at Cambridge have no news than if people hadn't reported on just one of them. I imagine these got lots of apps. Anyone on this board have news from the inside? 6) There was Easter (~10 days of vacation in the UK) and yesterday was the European labor day so I imagine delays for these reasons in addition to a lot of applicants 5) 10 days!!! If I get hired in England there will be a vacation culture shock. @5: I heard there were >140 apps, but they surely could not have NOT expected that, so it's strange to announce a timeline you could not expect to keep to... 6) Not that I know anything, but I got "internal candidate" vibes from the expected timeline... x2 7) Maybe 140 apps could shame them into treating it like a proper search that looks for the best candidates. 8) Def a proper search. There is someone in the department who is a good fit for the job, but they're being treated like a normal applicant (albeit a v good one) 9) Recieved email stating we will now recieve update at end of May due to delays x9 10) Was your email generically referring to the Assistant/Associate Professor and Curator? Or did I apply to the wrong position? 11) "Dear applicant, Two University Assistant/Associate Professorships in Evolutionary Biology and Evolutionary Ecology – Department of Zoology – University of Cambridge – PF29922. Many thanks for the time and effort that you put into applying for this position, and the interest you have shown in joining our Department. Unfortunately there has been an unexpected delay in reviewing the applications, for which we are very sorry. We expect to be able to update you on the status of your application by the end of May." 12) Email stating that shortlisting will happen 16 of June for interviews last week of June, beginning of July. I feel like a reality show contestant with the suspense. x6 13) Interview Request!!!!!!! I feel like I won the lottery! They are shifting the proposed interview dates for scheduling conflicts. 14) Congratulations @13! Any guess on how many people they invited? 15) Indeed, congrats @13! Might I ask when this was communicated? In the email from May 27 it sounded like they would actually inform everyone (successful or not) about the outcome, but I guess that not having received any news on June 21 then means no success. I really wish universities could be bothered to send a simple mass email sayin "thanks but no thanks". 13) ~4 days ago. I might guess they aren't sure how many candidates are still available, given the later stage (many have signed). I'd hold off on criticising too hard for a couple of weeks. They could have sent a list to HR or prehaps are holding off until they confirm whether a backup list is needed. <-- Thanks @13, we'll see. 15) Got a no-interview email today; hopefully that goes for all unsuccessful applicants.x5 16) Got some info from a friend working there that the process has been a disorganised mess hence all the delays. The department has no vision, most of the faculty there don't contribute to research culture or general community, so impossible to form a panel and get the process going. Lots of warring factions. Lots of ineptitude. Infrastructure crumbling. Not a great place to work at all (described as "toxic"). Bullet dodged imho. 17) Any idea how many they interviewed, 16? Is the dept administration taking action to fix? 18) I also got an interview. Apparentlay there are 9 for 2 positions. Interview not happening until end of September. Wary of this toxic culture, but there are apparently many retirements now, so hopefully some renewal. 19) Anyone gotten a phone call? I thought they would make a decision right after interviews. 20) No, still no word | 9 | ||

I emailed HR and they said they were working on reposting it. | |||
211 | 2/5/2022 10:11:58 | University of Alaska | Alaska | Ecology | 2/27/2022 | Asst Prof | Tenure Track | 6/14/22 10:11 | plant ecology, physiological plant ecology, plant-herbivore ecology, wildlife ecology and or spatial/landscape ecology 2) Should specify that this is Alaska-Anchorage 3) "This recruitment is open internally to current UA employees or those otherwise eligible to apply to internal postings." (4) Does this mean it is only open to internal candidates? 5) The UA system, and UAA in particular, sustained enormous budget cuts over the past few years. Maybe this is just their attempt to reshuffle faculty without having to hire someone new. (6) I contacted Dr. Stecyk and this is for INTERNAL HIRING only. This probably means that the posting should be removed. Cheers. AP) Thanks @6, we can leave it up for people's info in case they see this position elsewhere. | |||

213 | 2/4/2022 13:43:48 | DePauw University | Indiana | Ecology | 1/17/2022 | Asst Prof | Tenure Track | 2/6/22 12:28 | The deadline is past but I'm on the committee, and things that get in by the first week of February or so will still be considered 1) This job link is duplicated (see l. 539) 2) @1 DePauw (Indiana) != DePaul (Illinois) | 1 | ||
214 | 2/4/2022 12:54:42 | Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Cornell University | New York | Ecological Data Science | 3/31/2022 | Research Associate | Fixed Term | 3/12/22 6:58 | These positions sound more like postdoc positions (x2). AP) It's a grey area. They do expect the person to mentor postdocs, so I'm feeling that it might be a step up, so I'll just leave these here. Three years with possible extension, so potentially long term. 2) I don't know about these specific ones, but this kind of position has often become permanent at the Lab of Ornithology and I suspect these will. Less like postdocs than many of the fixed term 'professorships' listed below. 3) CLO employee here, Research Associates at the Lab of O are more like research faculty than postdocs. Many are here longterm (though some on soft money), renewed positions are standard at the Lab of O. These are definitely a step up from being a postdoc. Really great place to work. 4) see climate comment below. | |||
215 | 2/4/2022 12:50:29 | Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Cornell University | New York | Quantitative Ecology | 5/15/2022 | Research Associate | Fixed Term | 6/14/22 18:48 | These positions sound more like postdoc positions (x7) 2) CLO employee here, defiinitely not postoc positions, more akin to research faculty. We have lots of longterm research associates (career term) at the lab. They mentor postdocs, write grants, and do research. Sort of like faculty without the teaching. [Long thread on department climate deleted. In short: some people there love it, while others have had a bad experience. If you are offered the position, do your due diligence, as always. -AP] Deadline extended to 5/15 3) Received "pre-rejection" email indicate I was not among the candidates selected for an interview. Perhaps the next step employers will take is to start sending "don't bother applying" emails! | |||
216 | 2/3/2022 14:11:50 | Colorado State University | Colorado | Insect Systematics | 3/4/2022 | Asst Prof | Tenure Track | 6/7/22 13:12 | Any idea how important the focus on Colorado native insects is? 2) Anyone know if there is an inside candidate for this? It seems like they have a few entomologists that are instructor level. Seems logical that they might want this job. 3) No idea if that makes them an internal candidate. It is a little odd they heavily emphasis a single course in the description, but on the other hand this is a replacement for a director who was removed in disgrace 4) Given the circumstances, it seems like they would want to bring in someone from outside. 5) Any updates? 6)No as of 3/21 X4 5) received rejection email 3/23 x6 6) No rejection but no interview invites either, no news is good news? X2 7) feels weird to have received a rejection but no one has heard anything positive. Were we that bad or are you two (@6) going to be token external candidates for an internal hire? 8) It's possible the invited candidates are not on here, but I agree with @7, I've applied for tons of these jobs and it's rare to be declined formally before the search proceeds. Usually, they seem to want to keep a good number of people on backup so their search does not fail. 9) I applied and have not received a rejection email yet, nor an invite of any kind. 3/28 x2. 10) Given the process, it will be fascinating to see who is picked! 11) I still haven't heard anything positive or negative. Has anyone else? 4/6. 12) I've heard they are interviewing people already, at least one current assistant professor so maybe they just skipped over postdocs all together :/ 13) in-person interviews scheduled for May 14) they interviewed 4 people in-person - all assistant professors or higher. | 7 | ||

UPDATE - was not selected for this position. | 2 | ||

Ability to fulfill teaching needs between mammaology/ornithology/herpetology is equally desireable. 3) I take it an entomology focus would not be desirable? 4) @3 unfortunately no- the official title is "Terrestrial Vertebrate Ecologist" though it hasn't been posted as that consistently across the job boards (apologies). 5) Lot more ended up applying to this--I wonder what the final/actual number of apps is? 6) Zoom interview invite received, to take place late-March/early-April. x3 7) Zoom interview was last week, contacted 4/11 letting me know they will be reaching out to my references next. 8) invitation for on-campus interview 4/22 9) campus interview invite received 4/23 | 10 | ||

I know a guy with a very competitive CV that won another position, and they didn't offer him a position as Senior lecturer, which has a more decent salary 2) 4/4: Any updates? job posting says interviews would be in mid April - early May... 3) No news 4/5/22. 4) No news either 4/13/22 +1. 5) Emailed committee chair: >500 applicants, which has caused some delay.

" 1) This is likely to replace a professor they just lost (took a different job) 2) @1 Yes, the position was opened up by someone leaving, but the candidate need not be a 1:1 replacement. 3) any updates? screening interviews supposed to start ~3/31, so wondering if anyone has heard anything 4) Screening interviews are supposed to start *no earlier than* 03/31 5) Anything? (4/4) 6) nothing yet x3 7) Search committee is running behind. 8) thanks for the update! 9) anyone hear anything yet? 10) nothing here x7 11) any updates? nothing as of 4/28 X5 12) still nothing as of 5/9/22 x4 13) Contacted about scheduling short interview 5/9/22 x 3 14) anyone heard anything since the interview? 15) nothing yet (5/18).

I am torn about whether to apply. I do aquatic community ecology, but no ecosystem science (biogeochemistry). The job description makes it seem like that's what they want. 5) Letters requested 3/21. X3 6) Did they contact you directly as they said they would in the app submission confirmation email or just contact letter writers? 7) Contacted directly to input reference names/emails into website 8) I heard that online interviews have been conducted. 9) they have been scheduling campus interviews 10) Any updates? | 13 | ||

Makes me wonder if the fix is in for someone in-house. X4 3) or at least ironic when the station is Cranberry "Lake" 4) It's posted now; applications now due March 18; 5) any updates? 6) I emailed the search chair a week ago asking about the search status and they never replied. Why are search chairs like this? Maybe @2 is right about the fix being in... 7) skeptical that this was an in-house thing as I was encouraged by someone in the dep to apply... 8) position went to Emily Arsenault; so it appears it wasn't an internal hire (at least with no obvious connections); the SC were just terrible people https://twitter.com/erarsenault/status/1562513067807690755 | 3 | ||

I have two other offers which probably won't wait until this search concludes. Might have to withdraw 6) must suck to have multiple offers /s 7) @6 Realized immediately after I typed it that sounded like a humblebrag. Also found out you can't delete here. Sorry, stressed. 8) @5/7 -- no worries. Congrats on the offers! X2 9) Any update on this position? Thanks 10) zoom interview invite 28Mar 11) @ 10 - Thanks and good luck! 12) Thanks @11 13) any others invited for a zoom? 14) still have heard anything (they could be waiting until after the zoom interviews to reject people) 15) any news? had a zoom and haven't heard as of 4 May 16) Seems like this one is going slow, any campus invites? X2 17) Anyone have any info on this one? 18) email that they are closing this search and no moving forward with the recruitment process, didn't they already interview candidates?

It only opened on Jan. 27, so that seems weird (1/31) 4 again) Emailed HR and they took down the ad to change something minor. It should be back up tomorrow 5) @3 maybe if you exclude housing at $500k 6) exactly as #5 said, the cost of living in western NC is NOT low.

"The position is partially funded by sponsoring faculty members. Therefore, candidates must contact potential faculty sponsors prior to applying to ensure the faculty members are willing and able to provide support." 2) why is this different from a postdoc? Because there is a teaching requirement? 3) @2 as I understood it, you come with your own project for which the mentors will pay. You dont do a postdoc project a PI got some funding for 4) This sounds more like a postdoc fellowship tbh. 5) People from the department on twitter advertised this as like a 'department postdoc'. That is really what it is. 6) two differences I would like to point out is that the pay will likely be higher and you can be listed as a PI on NSF grants, as a postdoc who just wrote an NSF full proposal in which I can not be listed as PI this can make a difference in developing you own independent funding that you can take elsewhere which can increase your resume more then a postdoc. 7) The salary is listed and is slightly lower than the NSF postdoctoral fellowship salary (though still good). Many universities do allow regular postdocs to apply for grants as PI. This is really just a (good) postdoc (x 2) 6 again) @7 Postdocs can not apply for NSF full proposals, only the fellowship, which if you have gradauted more than 2 years ago is not available. My point is not about appling to grants in general, just that you can apply for NSF full proposal and take the funding with you appond getting a new professorship, which can hep you on the job market more then a postdoc. You can still call it a (good) postdoc if you want, I just wanted pointed this out as a benefit of the position as the focus often is on getting independent and calibrative grants in this type of position which you can take elsewhere while still maintaining a calibration with the faculty at UConn in the future. @6 8)i have applied to nsf full big-girl grants as a postdoc. primary investigator. just fyi. you can...depending on your institute. 9) me too 7) As 8 & 9 say, there is no NSF rule that postdocs can't apply as PIs for full proposals. This is institution specific. I think there is a trend for places to improve the 'title' of jobs without actually making them any less contingent and this fits right in. It's a postdoc that is slightly more humane in it's pay than other postdocs, but you are also teaching in the department so it's probably cheaper in the end for them than paying a TT prof to teach. Attaching the 'prof' label makes it sound less contingent. 10) I reached out to the chair and only 25% of the faculty in the department have the funding to support this postdoc/scholar, so make sure you reach out to potential mentors and ask about funding first | 1 | ||

309 | 1/10/2022 14:17:31 | SUNY Oneonta | New York | Ecology | Asst Prof | Tenure Track | 5/22/22 11:34 | experience teaching majors' general ecology; demonstrable expertise in one or more areas including but not limited to: wetland biology, terrestrial ecology, and/or conservation/restoration biology; post-doctoral or work experience in applied ecology including wetland delineation; mentoring undergraduate and graduate students, and experience in teaching, mentoring, research, or service with diverse and/or multicultural populations. 1) Job ad reads like a call for a wetland ecologist. Anyone know if this is a general ecologist call or do you need to have this wetland experience? 2) Auto-requests reference letters. 3) Required qualifications include instructor of record for biology courses at the undergraduate level 4) @1 - emailed chair that exact question and no response. Helpful if someone else tried as well. 5) Why do universities do these 'open until filled' calls. It just adds confusion for everyone. 6) Still zero reply from chair. Inside hire? No idea, but seems odd. 7) Replacement for someone that taught a wetland deliniation class. They'd like to see that class keep going but not a requirement necessarily. Have to teach 10-11 credits per semester, so 3 classes plus labs I'd guess. 8) anyone hear anything on this? No closing date so who knows when they will even start looking at apps 9) emailed the dept. chair about priority/review date - no response. @7 - where did you get this info? 10) anyone hear any updates? 11) I applied on 2/21/22. Someone there hit my website two days later, so I know they've at least seen my app. I too emailed the chair with a quick question...no response. Very unprofessional to ignore inquiry emails like that. 12) this is why the 'open until filled' type of job is ridiculous. Now you've had a bunch of people apply, who have no idea when the review starts, email an unresponsive search chair, and still get not clarity. Makes your university look bad and wastes the times of dozens of people. 13) Phone interview scheduled week of 3/14 (x3). 14) @13 did you guys get much out of hr when you were contacted? a little unusual at my end. @9 - sorry wasn't following anymore because I didn't apply. I emailed the department secretary and got the name of the actual chair of the committee (Dr. Withington) and they responded quickly. 15) @14 Only thing that struck me as odd is that the HR rep told me what the starting salary would be. I know why of course...it's very low and because it's a state school there won't be much wiggle room. I still plan to talk with the comm on the phone/Teams, but I doubt I'll accept an invitation to interview in person, if it's offered. x2 16) I applied on Feb. 15, letters were requested Feb. 24, but I have not been invited to interview. I'd say maybe I still might but it seems others already received invites to interview... I'm admittedly very annoyed and confused; it's the first time I've had letters requested but no interview. 17) letters were required up front. This would be a huge step up for me. @17: where does it say letters are required up front? The job ad said "Contact information for three professional references is required". I submitted my app Feb. 15 and emails for my letter writers didn't go out until Feb. 24. It's probably a moot point now. TBH their whole process (vague job ad, no review date) and poor communication is pretty unprofessional. 18) I hope they call me for on campus. 19) any news? 20) No news here. Last week's Teams interview went well (I think) but haven't heard anything since. 19) mine felt like a train wreck! first phone in 6 yrs! 20) I'm sure it went better than you (@19) think it did. 20) if it's any consolation mine didn't go well either. The questions weren't sent to me until 45 minutes before the interview and one of the committee members showed up late. so I had little time to prepare and felt rushed. Oh well. 19). I had never been given questions beforehand before. I got them an hour ahead of time which was fine, but I think it threw me off as not expecting them, so I rambled on some answers. and I mean RAMBLED!!!! I WILL BE SHOCKED IF I GET CALLED! 🤣. btw, I did ask their time frames, want to bring someone in early April. I think they said wk1. so, some of us should hear something soon. 🤞 21) Yeah I've interviewed for tons of jobs over the years and never had questions sent to me beforehand. Might of only been 45 min but I certainly appreciated receiving them. I had anticipated most of them of course but one or two took me a bit by surprise so I was glad to have a heads up. One of the comm members was late to my interview as well. 22) on-campus invite 3/25 23) Invited for on-campus interview 3/30 but declined, just accepted a different offer. 24) maybe they will make it to me? 23 again) @24, I hope so! Good luck! *) hr sent notice that search has ended. won't bother applying there again as Old non-phd prof was rude. I almost hung up on them. 25) I interviewed here too and know exactly the old prof you are speaking of. He wasn't the only one giving off jerk vibes either! 26) Also phone interviewed here and know who you were talking about. I really didn't get a good vibe from a couple committee members. | 4 | |||

I'll also include a link to my thesis. That hasn't been an issue so far. 3) A pdf of your diploma should be enough for the application. If you get the job then you probably need to get your diploma evaluated by the Kultusministerkonferenz 3)Thanks! 4) If your diploma is not in german or english (i.e., in latin), you might also want to get a notarized translation. I needed this for some Swiss applications. 5) apparently they require hard copies, correct me if wrong, last few lines of the doc at the link provided 6) If true, that's a good way to limit hires to locals - like GRE scores in the States. 7) @5 seems that application via email is also fine (text in bold at the end of document), only hard copy would be very weird nowadays. However, note that you should to be able to teach in German right from the start. | |||

But it seems like short listing info will happen soon so fingers crossed for y'all!! 7) 3/3 received non-personalized rejection, know others who have applied who have not heard anything x2 (rejection on 3/3 and also nothing) 8) I was shortlisted in another Oxford search, and interviewed as the only external candidate against four internal ones. Ultimately, they also asked me to "chat later" about other opportunities. Which I did, and what they wanted was for me to apply to a large grant, which could cover my salary and the salary of several lab members, in which case they would have offered me a TT group leader position. So, those of you who were rejected but invited to "chat later" that is what it likely means. I may be wrong of course. 9) 2nd 8's comments. I got the same thing at The Other School in the UK. 10) Anybody else still not receive an answer yet, or receive invitation for interview? 11) No communication at all. x2 I am hoping that I was shortlisted but they are having issues putting the invitations together, as they need to coordinate department and college visits/activities. 12) Anyone had letter requests and no rejection? 13) Pretty sure letter request is the long-listing stage -- congrats! 14) Actually in the UK letters are only requested after or around interviews, sometimes after an offer has been made as a HR formality. 15) Depends on the job 16) Interviews announced internally 17) meaning that candidates have not been informed yet? 16) Sorry I wasn't clear -- no, the interviews are all scheduled and postdocs/students have been invited to meet with the selected candidates. 18) Anyone else heard absolutely nothing? 19) I also have heard absolutely nothing, and my referees have not been asked for references. 20) Interviews happened already -- most people interviewed were pretty senior | 4 | ||

Anyone know if housing is provided or salary is commensurate? The main campus may be a livable salary for central indiana, but def not for the FL Keys... 1) application requires statement of personal faith plus listing church involvement incl. denomination, pastors info, etc. "Goshen College is affiliated with Mennonite Church USA. Faculty members and administrators are expected to be committed to a life of discipleship following Jesus Christ in all aspects of life and to have a sense of identity with and commitment to the church." 2) Ad mentions 3 - 12 week Marine courses, and an expectation is to be in the Keys during that period at a marine station. I doubt they expect you to live there fulltime. It actually seems like a cool opportunity. | |||

Here (several columns to left) the review date says 1/10/22. May someone (potentially a search committee member) clarify which date is it? Thanks! 1) Here is another link I found for this posting from ISME with more info on the position and specifies review date of 10-Jan: https://www.isme-microbes.org/jobs/tenure-track-assistant-professor-position-biology-microbes-and-microbial-communities 2) system was kind of weird - has two required CV slots for unknown reasons and also an optional diversity statement upload spot which is different than the listed requirements in the job ad... 3) Sounds like someone can't manage the HR system. Don't pass on that diversity statement unless you already attach it to the teaching statement. It's essential. 2 again) yea I included bits of my diversity statement in the teaching and research (divided out from normal). Initial job ad doesn't ask for one though, just for commentary in statements/during interview 4) frustrating application. There were only 2 spots for the sample manuscripts 5) I just put in the documents and the SC can sort them out. 2 again again) same - kind of a mess but figure they'll work it out. 6) Searches ongoing and fewer apps than usual. Good chances if you apply. 7) Any updates? 8) None here (8 Feb) x2 9) Invitation for a phone interview (Feb 16) x4 9) anyone hear back after zoom interviews? 10) received an on-campus invite (Mar 6) x3. 11) Any updates?

I used to work here and there are numerous faculty with English as their first language. 3) a recent search failed due to French - it matters. 4) How does a search fail because of French? 5) French fluency is strictly required so maybe a search failed because the candidates didn't speak it? 6) yes but why give the offer to someone who doesnt speak French. Also in many cases like this they still hire but make sure the candidate will speak the non-English language 7) in other words if anyone else on the search speaks French, you wont get it 8) yeah of course but not a failed search 9) why of course? should not the research matter more? French is learned quickly 10) If you've ever lived in Montreal, you will have seen many people who promise to learn French quickly. Most don't and many never develop working facility. This is the biggest french-language university in North America, so quite reasonable for them to prioritize language of instruction for their student body. 11) I will interview next week for a position in this Uni (not this one specifically) and I don't speak French and does not seem to be a big issue. 12) Even still, make sure they know you're serious about it, because French has been a major issue for recent searches here 13) Thanks for the advise.

This seems unheard of. 3) No idea but at least in the past, WHOI was 100% soft money salaries. 4) yeah but internal funding and the opportunity to list "WHOI" as your institution really helps with funding. wish I studied marine animals! 5) I have connections to WHOI so here's my take. Normally WHOI does a search for at least 1 hire in each dept every year, usually with a topic area in mind. WHOI pretty much hires 6-10 faculty every year, so the number isn't unheard of. This is basically re-branding their typical hiring cycle as more of a cohort hire, to get more visibility for the ad and encourage a more diverse applicant pool. 6) any news? 7) none here (2/14) x5 8) no news 3/1 x4 9) boilerplate email apparently sent to all applicants telling them to reach out if they have a competing offer to expedite the review process. x6 10) Anything? 11) Nothing since that desperate-sounding email 12) still no word since the email? wondering if anyone who had a competing offer got a response? 13) I told them I had another offer (it's a postdoc, but I didn't mention that), but never heard back. 14) Invited for an on-site interview (Geochemistry dept). 15) Congratulations, 14! Curious if all departments are on the same schedule. Still no word for Biology Dept application here... x5 16) Anyone else in other departments heard back?

428 | 12/3/2021 13:43:01 | Rowan University | New Jersey | Modeling of Biodiversity, Climate Change, and/or other areas | 1/1/2022 | Asst / Assoc Prof | Tenure Track | 3/20/22 17:48 | 1) Any idea re: teaching load? 2) My guesstimate is 12 credits a semester, its a teaching heavy university. 3) Rowan is transitioning to a research university so these newer hires will likely have lower teaching loads, though I bet it'll depend on the hiring department. for example, I heard that new faculty in Environmental Studies had been getting some teaching release for their first year so they can focus on getting their labs up and running and apply for grants. 4) SC member here. #3 is correct in that Rowan is transitioning to a research University, and so teaching loads are being reduced as research expectations increase. Exact load to be negotiated by the successful candidate at the time of an offer. 5) Zoom interview invite on 2/21 6) in person interview invite 3/11 7) Previous posters are correct Rowan is transitioning to R1. From inside knowledge, they will expect highly active learning in the classroom for 3-9 credits per semester for TT, without TAs. They expect you will apply for 3-4 "good" (aka with indirects) grants per semester. | 1 | ||

I make more than the top-end as a postdoc 4) That's so crazy. I understand some school's don't have the funds. But they need to face the facts and hire non-PhDs for these positions. 44k is insulting. 5) Even they advertised for non PhDs, they would certainly get PhDs applying though. I agree its a ridiculous salary band. 6) Agreed that it's a very low salary, but I applied anyway. Maybe there's some wiggle room? 7) The location is Dillon, MT. According to some cost of living comparison calculators 54K is more than I make as fourth year assistant professor at a California State University. Before calling something insulting, consider the cost of living. 8) Yes but the starting salary for K-12 there is $35K and better work life balance and many more working years while the PhD students are getting their degree. Its just one reflection of a broken system. Certainly their are too many PhD students and too few positions. Anyway, not the place to rant. x3 9) Good luck to you @6! And thank you @7, @8!! 10) When is the review? 11) It's immediate/ongoing and opened until filled. 11). there is nowhere in the United States where a salary of 44k is acceptable with a PhD. go to salary.com, use their calculators. it's the same baloney cheap institutions in backwater places tell everyone. it's a lie. these are jobs you take as a last resort, then get the heck out asap. dead end places. 44k wasn't a reasonable salary for a PhD 20 years ago. but, it was more common. X3 12) A small detail, but also note that this is posted as a search for Asst/Assoc Prof within that pay range, while I expect every applicant is expecting to be able to negotiate for the upper end of that scale. Crazy position for sure. 13) One more note on the salary to consider: that's the salary for a 10 month position. If you bring in summer salary (common for tenured professors) that brings the salary up to about $65k on the high end (it's a 10 month contract). So, that's also something to consider here. $65k is what research faculty make at at least one Ivy League school that I know (and work at). 14) According to AAUP, lowest 9 mo Asst. Prof salary at an ivy league is Cornell $114,031, Instructor is $63,475, lecturer is $79,445. research scientists at landgrants make more than $65k on 12 mo. The USDA minimum salary for a grant funded post doc is over $60K, see USDA grant manuals. I'm thinking you have been misinformed, or the title research faculty is being used REALLY loosely. 15) AAUP reports averages. Anyone else see the problem with using averages when pay varies across disciplines? 16) Any updates? x2 17) Had a zoom interview in early Feb. 18) Congratulations @17! 19) Any updates? Did they have in-person interviews already? Was someone hired? @17 here, have not heard anything yet. @17 again, got an email last week tell me they hired the best person for the job, which apparently wasn't me. haha. | 4 | |||

Just wondering if anyone has any perspective on this. 2) The School of Environmental Sustainability is expanding (recently became a school from an institute) and is hiring several new faculty as a result of its growth. 3) In addition to growth in faculty due to elevation to School status, there have been a couple of fix-term faculty that have moved recently due to family reasons, not because they were not satisfied with their job. We are replacing those. 4) Any news? | |||

Low cost of living, but quality of life is typical of small town Texas. 3) Lead ocelot recovery efforts and develop an extramurally-funded research program focusing on carnivore ecology and management, with emphasis on ecology and conservation of ocelots on East Foundation properties, commensurate with a 75% research appointment. - Sounds like an amazing opportunity for a carnivore ecologist to build a new program there. 4) does anyone know why this search failed last time? 5) Very odd- they brought in 3 finalists from last year search and I attended the talks. All tenured profs (one was quite senior in rank) with tremendous research experience (and publications) in carnivore ecology. Maybe the selected candidate didnt join? I copy # 2- The place is small and may not be a attractive choice for many wishing to raise their family. 6) I don't have any stake in this job, but have spent time doing fieldwork around Kingsville and interacted with several faculty (in another field). There is some cool stuff around the area - great birdwatching, some rare plants, and very interesting habitats. 7) I'm a recent Ph.D. graduate. This postition is within the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute, a privately funded institute housed within the university. Very unique situation unlike others. https://www.ckwri.tamuk.edu/ The institutional financial support is amazing. Lots of research dollars funneled through the program. Kingsville isn't for everyone but I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. You can buy a very nice house there for next to nothing 8) Is there any updates--has anyone received an invitation to interview? 9) Email received ab scheduling Zoom interview 3/25 x2 -- Zoom interviews appear to be occurring April 4 and 5 10) Email about on-campus visit received 4/12 11) Job offer 6/3 | ||||

It's only been a little over two weeks though ... 19) I believe you can check if your references have been requested through the website 20) my references were not requested x4 19) I didn't mean to imply that mine/anyone's have been requested.

More courteous than any other position I've applied for. x3 26) Did anyone receive an interview request? I haven't received any emails x7 27) No emails, no change on the ref letter request status on the OSU app web page x3 28) rejection email Rcvd. 2/3 x3 29) Has anyone heard anything?

I came here to see if anyone else had already gotten an invite on Friday (I didn't). My guess is if the on-campus invites weren't already sent, the shortlisted candidates will probably hear something in the next few days. 9) I had a zoom interview on Tues, they also indiciated I would likely hear Friday-ish. Have not heard. I guess if the first interviewee (Feb 18) is virtual it's enough time? But clock is ticking. Maybe we are all the interviewees who are not finalists... 10) invite for campus interview (2/12) to be schedule within next 4 weeks. (x2) 11) Congratulations!

The dept and especially current chair were shocked that this occurred, reacted immediately through University channels once made aware of these allegations and did not protect this former faculty member. Ongoing legal suits prior to this person's departure prevented a more visible response at the departmental level. Our dept chair especially was supportive of and responsive to students and staff. I am an Assistant Prof in this department and it is a wonderful and supportive environment for junior faculty.

We are looking for broadly trained organismal biologist. Course topics are flexible. 1) How soon after applying do you need letters of rec? 2) I believe the portal sends out request for letters as soon as you click submit on your end. 3) 1 again, it did not do this yet for me. 4) Hmm very odd. I applied for a job in a different dept at VU earlier this year and it sent them right away. But that was rolling, so maybe it waits until the deadline? (This is 2 again) 4) I didn't get a message saying letters were requested when I submitted my app, but I got an email when each reference uploaded their letter x3 5) Invited for a zoom interview. Says that 10 candidates were invited.x4 6) Did anyone get a campus invitation? Seems like they should have gone out by now. 6) I had a Zoom interview but haven't heard back yet (2/23) x3 7) Received a rejection email (2/24) x2 8) https://twitter.com/neuroStephtide/status/1534598603934552064 | 14 | ||

Doesn't belong here imo 1) agreed. Also, I notice some schools listing a 10-month appointment. Is this new? If so, it means the salary is actually lower when compared to a school with a similar salary and 9 month appointment. tricky tricky 2) It's only lower if you really think you can secure 3 months of summer funding. Not easy if you are not NIH funded. 3) I think for now it's easy enough to leave these jobs since we'd rather not try to moderate what is an isn't appropriate for ecology/evolutionary biology. But if these start to hinder the use of the board then we'll definitely reconsider. I started a thread in the general discussion tab to discuss further - AFP 4) As someone who's interdisciplinary with research interests/expertise spanning from molecular/cell bio to ecology, I find it helpful to have such positions posted on this board. 5) To #4: you must be new here, allow me to explain: people love to shit on posts and/or remove them if they aren't relevant to them. even if there are other ecoevo folks who find it relevant. | ||||

If you really want to post this position then go to FPI or other venue that isn't specifically EEB. Tell me how the Data Science Job, or the HIstology Job, or the Anthropology job is EEB. The post is for people who are at the intersection of evolution and immunology. I only posted to help people find jobs that might apply to them and didn't understand why it was taken down. 4) AP please remove comments AP) I don't see anything in the job ad about evolution (or ecology), so not sure this is within our domain. 5) See comment above in reponse to the Kean University post. Also check out the general discussion page - AFP. 6) This search failed, please remove ad. I am in the department. AP) @6 thanks for the info. We'll leave this entry in case anyone was wondering about this search. 7) Search rerun as eco-evo position (as intended), offer made and accepted. | ||||

It was not to me specifically and did not give any indication that I had made a list. Instead it was just a (somewhat weird) review of how hiring decisions would be made down the line. No ETA on interviews. A bizarre document. 8) I didn't find this document to be bizarre at all. It gave helpful information (e.g., names of all members of the hiring committee) and a hoped-for timeline for the process (finalist list by end of February, interviews scheduled for early to mid-March). 9) It wasn't clear to me if they are even doing phone or zoom interviews or not based on that email. Just that candidates would be "narrowed down" over the next four weeks. 10) Agree that it was a helpful email and I appreciated the update. 11) Email notifying me that my "application was not selected for further consideration" (1/24) x3 12) received rejection emal (2/8) 13) invited for zoom interview late Feb x 1 14) received rejection email (3/10); no references called or interview invite 15) Any news on this search? | 7 | ||

I have nothing but positive things to say about my time there! 3) It looks like they are counting service as part of that 50%. Seems standard. 4) Under 'Special Instructions', they only list needing a CV, contact info. for three references, and a Diversity/Inclusion Statement. Wonder what is going on there. x2 5) I created an account and there are no more specific instructions on the application site either. It just says "Please upload all of your application materials as requested per the job description." I'll probably email the search committee tomorrow. 5) Faculty member in dept. here - teaching load is 1 course per semester. Going to check on why documents needed is unclear. 6) We are working to clarify documents needed - HR confused things. It will be the usual research, teaching, diversity statements. 7) @6 same documents question about the dept's microbial biologist ad. 8) @7 - yes, all postings are being updated by HR. 9) Ecology posting updated w/ requested application documents.10) Is the official transcript really required with the application? 11) @10 Official transcripts only required at hiring, not with application materials.12) Thanks! I am pretty sure it used to say transcript under application requirements but it doesn't anymore. 13) @12 It did - you are correct. We updated to make things more clear. 14) @ 2- This position is a 1-1 course load. Service is not an explicit component of contract, but the department does not put a heavy service burded on pre-tenure faculty. 15) No Coverletter required? 16) system only allows 5 applicatoin materials so I merge CV with cover letter 16) Thanks, 15, that's what I ended up doing too. 16) I did NOT submit a cover letter because they did not specifically ask for one (which is weird). I've heard from other search chairs that if they don't ask for something it can't be used in evaluation. 17) Letters requested (12/26) x3. 18) Zoom interview scheduled (1/4).x3 19) Has anybody heard anything more? did the zoom interviews already happened? 20) I had a zoom interview on the 10th. Haven't heard anything since... X4 21) Still nothing since the Zoom interview as of Feb 1. here...anyone? x4 22) No, but they must have made choice by now, eh?x3 23) it seems like no update for other positions at LSU either. I agree with @22 though 24) Notified not invited for on campus interview (2022-02-11) x2 25) On campus interviews are happening 04/07/2022) | 21 | ||

In that search they were looking for someone with coastal experience in that search...wondering about that kind of focus for this search as well. 2) This is another new position; the department actually did a double-hire for the biological oceanography position last AY. 3) 2 is correct, and this search is very broad. If you think your research fits, it probably does. 4) Selfishly, I was hoping the 'number applied' would stay low (last I saw prior to the holiday was 3). But in any case, good luck to all! 4) any news? references? anything? 5) nothing as of today (12/12/21) for me, but very much hoping to hear something positive soon! 6) Letters requested 12/13/21 x4 7) Anyone know what's next after letter requests? Zoom/phone interviews? 8) Not quite sure what comes next. But I had a letter requested on 12/23. x2 9) Any news since letters were submitted? 10) Haven't heard anything yet (I was one of the 12/23 letter requests) 11) At what point do you reach out and ask for an update....? Trying not to worry, but seems like radio silence following letters being sent in is not a great sign. 12) Same here, @11. So hopefully things are just slow and they haven't already had video interviews. But would be nice to get an update. 13) 2-day virtual interview scheduled without a separate short Zoom interview prior. I did get confirmation this is the final interview stage, so it seems like the search committee made final candidate selections based on the letters of rec and candiate application packages alone. 15) Well thats a major bummer for me, but good luck 13!! 16) Very curious to see who ends up with this (awesome sounding) position. 17) https://twitter.com/Matt_D_Ramirez/status/1515139759219384321 | 17 | ||

Is it normal that rejections are send first and who ever gets on the long/short list are not notified until later? 5) I was "long-listed" [I guess that is the term?] on the plant curator job last year, but as I recall they sent a "selected for assessment" email at the same time as the first rejection emails. It did take them a few extra days to send me the rejection email after the assessment, though.6) thanks @5! now I'm not sure what to expect. But I see now that at least one more did not hear anything yet, so I'll take that as a good sign. I also applied last year for the botany position, and was not terribly impressed by the process, and this does not seem much better. 7) I actually appreciated the assessment they gave me, it was helpful to see what my weakneses were for a curator position. But other than that the whole thing was pretty mysterious. 8) Glad to hear that something useful came of the process! 9) I spoke to HR dept today, those that did not get a rejection email this week have been shortlisted, and should get an email about the assesment process early in 2022. congrats to those! 10) congrats! 11) any news? 12) Nothing yet (Feb 09) 13) received the assesment Feb 16 (qualified) x3 13) did anybody get invitations for interviews? no news here. 14) Invited for Zoom interview (03/14) 15) ouch, really thought I was a good fit for this one. But thanks a lot for sharing, and best of luck to the interview! | 5 | ||

No ref letter up front so thats good but that anonymization of all the statements as a requirement for a position that may not be for a ECR? hmmm.... 2) yes, I was interested in this, but seeing the statement on that Twitter thread makes it quite clear that applications from ECRs are not what they are looking for. 3) same here...wondering if it's worth it to contact the SC to enquire more directly about this. 4) EEB faculty member here. As long as you meet the minimum qualifications, including "Minimum of three years of teaching at the undergraduate and/or graduate levels", you should definitely apply! [rant deleted - this board is not the place to make anonymous attacks on people or departments -AP] 5) I know its wwwway too early but if SC is on here they have any idea on when abouts things would be decided? 6) The SC is reviewing apps right now (~30+ apps) and the short list has not been selected yet, but should happen soon!

(11/28), 4) no news 11/30 x10, 5) still no news (12/7) x3 6) WE NEED NEWS 7) @6 hahaha. 8) letters requested 12/10... but not sure how to attach them to app since it's already submitted? Anyone figure this out? 9) I emailed admin to ask, will update. Email said they received >125 applications and were requesting letters for the top 25%. Update: admin says they updated Interfolio and applicants should upload their own non-confidential letters of reference. 10). Thanks! Non-confidential though? eek... 11) Just looking at Interfolio, and I *think* if you request a confidential letter (not directly through the application but just through Interfolio) you can then upload it to the application because it's archived... 12) @11 , looks like you're right. What do people think "as soon as possible" means? Can I give my letter writers a week? 13) 12 again, I asked if a week would be okay, and the coordinator said it would be. Also, she said that they are working up a way to allow for confidential letters to be sent. 14) were letters requested by email, or just on Interfolio? 15) Were applicants notified that their letters were requested or they heard from their letter writers? 16) Received word directly from UMich about letter requests. x2 17) Confused. I didn't get any direct email but now interfolio said "confidential letter of recommendation" 3 required. Anyone got the same thing? 18) also confused. I didn't get any email, but interfolio now says my app is incomplete and under the letter of rec section, "Please send by 12/31. Thank you". x1 19) My guess would be that they changed the setting on Interfolio to allow letters to be submitted and so it changed the requirements for all open apps even for people who they aren't requesting letteres from, but not sure? 20) 17 here - well, I requested my letters to be sent anyways. I will just assume that I'm long-listed for the sake of sanity! Gotta celebrate every possible small win along the way.21) since someone got emails directly from UM about letters and i did not, not sure i should request from my refs anyway. 22) I reached out to the contact listed on the application and they said that long-listed applicants received emails, so it sounds like a mistake that the Interfolio setting was changed for everyone else 23) Now says "If you received notice of moving on to the first round of interviews please send by 12/31. Thank you" on interfolio (12/22) x2. 24) So that means there was another email sent out to a subset of people actually inviting you to interview? I got an email in early Dec. requesting references but nothing about interviewing - not sure if I'm still in the running. x3 25) sounds like they really need to get better with their communications. 26) What's the status of this search? Did people get zoom or in-person interviews yet? 27) no contact since request for letters x6 28) maybe the search got cancelled 29) Really? The president was just fired :/.... 30) Got a rejection email signed from Peter Reich x8 31) Email update saying short list candidates would get emails for scheduling interviews by the end of the month (1/20) x6 32) Did anyone who got a rejection letter also get refernece requests? 33) Did anybody else receive nothing (no rejection, no update)? 33) Update from search committee about delay. Virtual interviews to be scheduled by end of next week (maybe). No rejection but not clear if moving forward either. (1/21) x3 34) @33 (the 1st 33) - I also received no info at all 35) @34 weird... did you try to contact the chair of the search to gain more info? 36) Another email today (1/28) updating about further delays. They are meeting today to decide on short list for Zoom interviews. x 3 37) Still nothing here. I guess if you're in the middle of the pack you never hear anything! lol 38) @37 Curious too! Were your letters requested? 39) Received request for Zoom interview. Notified that about 8 people were selected for short-list interviews, and about half wiil go on to campus interviews in March. Appreciative of the transparency! 40) @35 - reached out to ask about status and never got a response 41) Any news? 42) none here 43) Last comment was on 5 April (it's now 5 May)- any news? 44) 42 here again, and still no news | 17 | ||

Just names and contact info for references. I'm not on the SC but I am faculty in the EEB department and can answer any questions that you have about the position. 1) I saw on twitter that there could be two positions at UConn this year. 2) Yes! One more in EEB will be posted soon. There are two positions posted in MCB as well! 3) @EEB faculty member- Removing any "identifiers to your race, ethnicity, and gender" in the diversity statement seems somewhat problematic when those may be strongly connected to your DEI efforts. I understand removing names etc, but does the committee really want all that information removed, especially at the cost of minority candidates not being able to fully express their experiences? x7 4) SC member here responding to @3. You make an important point. Our rationale for blinding is to limit implicit bias, which has a well-documented effect on search outcomes. We acknowledge there is a trade-off between our approach and candidates writing about personal experiences that have shaped their approach to DEI in ways that identify their race, ethnicity or gender. In the DEI statement, applicants are encouraged to discuss the impact of their efforts on specific groups that have been historically excluded; our assessment of these statements will emphasize awareness and actions (past and planned). We recognize that one’s identity will often impact one’s awareness of challenges. The cover letter is unblinded, and could be used to convey personal awareness of challenges and motivation for DEI efforts in ways that identify one’s race, ethnicity, or gender. Hope this helps. 5) Are references allowed in blinded materials that reference to publications on the CV if no name, affiliation, or journals are included ? 6) Faculty member here: I think that's a great idea! You can link numbered citations in your statements to your CV; include a footnote about the numbers in the statements so we know what they mean. 7) Thank you! 8) Review of applicantions has begun. 100+ applicants! 9) Wow 100+! Guess I wont get my hopes too high. Thanks for being so informative SC! x7 10) Any news? 11) Dec-15 none here x5 12) No one has been contacted yet. The long list of ~10 has been selected but has to go through our admin for approval before applicants are notified and we move forward. Virtual interviews for the long list will happen in early January and people on that list will be contacted soon. 13) Received an email asking for recommendation letters today (12/17) x3; was this sent only to long-list candidates? Wondering if I should wait a few more days before bothering my references if the long-list is going to be made official soon. x2 14) I didn't get an email for refs, so you're probably long-listed. 15) Hey 14, this is 13 here. Thanks for the intel and sorry. Maybe it'll come later, or maybe not. In any case, good luck with the job hunt! 16) Zoom interview invite received 12/22 x4 17) Final round invite received 1/14 x 2 18) Disappointed.

Because it seemed in the comments like someone had been hired. 2) I applied and they said the job is filled, needs removed. AP) Plenty of people at Carleton are tweeting about this position in the last 24 hours, so it seems open. 2) I was just emailed less than an hour ago "You most likely discovered this post through a 3 party website. Unfortunately that position has been filled. Please keep an eye on our “Employment Opportunities” page for up to date job postings in the future. https://carleton.ca/biology/employment-opportunities/" 4) Strange. I saw the posting because it was shared by a Carleton biology professor. The job ad comes from the University. 2) @4 yeah, super weird. Their employment opprotunity page shows no jobs, the job shows a recent date and the email I got in return makes me wonder where this communication breakdown is occuring. Update: I emailed back the person who told me the job is filled with the link to the post so it can be removed if it was uploaded in error. 5) Looks real to me? https://twitter.com/SJC_fishy/status/1451509003234783236 6) Canadian post-doc here, I have seen several Carleton profs post this to their twitters, I have a hard time believing it to be a mistake. Plus, it says specifically in the add that this is part of a 'multi-year cluster hire', so it's likely not just a 'reapeat' of the search last year. 7) to echo #6 - I was contacted at the end of the previous search and told they were hiring again this year and to watch for an announcement. Likely just recycling bits from the previous ad; 8) I am in the same boat as #6 and #7 - I am also friends of friends with the person who was hired last year... so definitely a new job. 2) I got an email from the department liason apologizing for saying the job isn't hiring..it is. Apparently it was some big admin mix up 9) Anyone hear anything about this one before Christmas? Or are they saving the short-list for after the holidays? 10) No updates here yet 01/04/22 x3 11) Update from Ontario post-doc - schools got shut down this week in Ontario due to Omicron. Provincial gov pretty much blindsided folks with this, too (announcement made ~36 hours prior to school reopening). Lots of restrictions put in place as well. Carleton doing online learning until Jan 31. All this to say is that if the SC committee members have kids in school or are teaching classes they are probably swamped right now. I'm not surprised updates haven't come on this one yet. Good luck to all, let us know if you hear anything (10-01-22). 11) Anyone hear anything? 12) I haven't 13) rejection email today Feb 11 X7 13) The smart money is on this hire following the same pattern as the last 4 or 5 - to put it blunty, probably half of the applicants never had an honest chance. 14) Out of curiosity, what happened with the last 5 hirings? 7) I don't know anything about the last 4 or 5, but a recent hire (the previous Cons Bio post discussed in comments above) was an internal candidate. 15) Any further news on this process, anyone invited for interviews? 16) Invited for short screening interview on March 18. 15) Cool! I had my refs requested but never heard any more. Good luck! :) 17) Invited for the full interview in May--not well organized. And as of Sept 13 2022, no word on whether or not I got the offer :( | 7 | ||

Cluster of three positions (!) in one or more of the following (listed alphabetically): chemical engineering, data science & discovery, ecological restoration & management, ecosystem science & management, environmental governance, environmental social science 2) What does highlighting "up to three" research products in your CV mean? 3) I think it means to highlight three papers you want to tell the SC. 4) heads up that every item in this application is specific to this job, with word counts less than half of typical statements. Great way to weed out applicants I guess. 5) what is meant by priority review data (Dec 1)? 6) any updates? 7) none here 12/15 x8 8) wouldn't necessarily expect anything until the new year since the job actually closes end of this month. 9) no updates (Jan 10) x9 10) still nothing (Jan 19) x11 11) Received email on 1/21 that review is in progress. Decision expected April/May. x7 12) is there anyone who does not receive the email update? 13) Received x1 14) Note that the email was about the "final decision" and that we should receive updates before that. 15) Has anyone received other updates? 16) No updates received as of 2/8. x6 17) Still nothing 2/13 x8 18) Just received an email with an invitation for a first-round interview (20min); today is Feb 18. x4 19) did they already send invitations for all three positions? 20) have they requested letters? 21) 3/2/2022 received the following email: "This email serves to inform you that your application has not been selected for the Climate Adaptation Faculty Cluster Hiring in the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences (SEFS) at the University of Washington (UW)." After explaining the search criteria, it closes with the wonderfully supportive line: "Unfortunately, your application was lacking in one or more of these criteria." x 2 22) I couldn't believe they added that. What's the point of it? 23) I also found it harsh, but it does reflect the reality... better than the decision being arbitary and my qualifications equal? 24) Better or worse than "we had many highly qualified applicants" but no further info? Maybe they had a huge pile of applications and didn't want to field a million emails asking for why a given person wasn't selected? 25) Well.. I got neither this rejection letter nor the request for recommendation. What does that mean? x3 26) it unfortunately means you probably would get the rejection later, sometimes you never even get one. Basically you have an interesting profile to make it to long list but not to the short-long list and may make it if some one on the short-long list doesn't make the cut. 27) what are the criteria? 28) what's the status of this? Have they interview for all components of the cluster hire yet? I received no notification yet 29) @28, I'm not certain but I can tell you what I know. I fall probably into the ecological management restoration category, I interviewed 2nd March and they said they were going to interview for a "few more weeks" and then decide on in-person interviews by the end of March, I don't know for sure, but I got the impression that they were interviewing all the disciplines together to see who would fit well together. 30) rejection finally received x2 31) Anyone receive a campus invite? 4/1 32) Nothing received about moving on in the interview process as of 4/3 x5 33) Not getting campus interview notice received 4/12 | 15 | ||

Hard to tell if they are interested in basic research or more applied reseach as is often found in Fisheries & Wildlife departments 3) pretty sure it's Bob Garrett's replacement 4) Anyone else having issues with the application site?
