Job-market reporting thread (2021-22 job season)

(Updated 10/3/201)

As I noted in opening this season's job-market discussion thread, I had planned to wait until October 1st to open this year's job-market reporting thread. However, given that I have already received some requests to open up the reporting thread, I hereby open this thread for job-market reporting. 

The current thread (below) is only for reporting news on the market (i.e. reporting interviews, flyouts, offers, hires, and so on), so please, report away! If you would like to discuss the job-market, please comment on the other thread. Permalinks to both job threads will remain on the right side-bar of the blog through the end of the job season. Because of Typepad's functionality limitations (which only permits 100 comments before starting a new comment page), readers may elect to bookmark each new page of comments as each new page emerges. I recognize that it can be frustrating to scroll through page after page to get to new comments, and I think this is probably the best solution given Typepad's functionality limitations.

Finally, although it should go without saying, commenters are asked to please remember the Cocoon's supportive mission while reporting. Thanks, and best of luck to all on the market!

Update: please do feel free to report on jobs in other departments that philosophers can be expected to apply to (political theory jobs in political science departments, AI-ethics jobs in interdisciplinary departments, etc.). Just make sure you specify the institution and department so that other readers and commentators don't confuse them with jobs in philosophy departments.

    a question about this thread: is it okay for people to post updates about jobs that are not in philosophy departments, but which philosophers are likely to apply to (e.g., moral psychology jobs in psychology or cognitive science departments, AI ethics jobs in computer science departments, political theory jobs in political science departments, )? If so, would it be possible to advertise this and make this a norm, so that those applying to such jobs should expect to find updates here?

    anon: That’s entirely fine! As long as they are jobs that philosophers would plausibly apply to, feel free to report on them. Just specify what department(s) the jobs are in so that people don’t confuse them with straight-up philosophy jobs. I’ll note this in an update to the OP above.

  55. Bill Vanderburgh

    As the chair of the CSU San Bernardino search, let me clarify. We have barely begun evaluating candidates. The email that candidates received was automated. It is meant to indicate that they have advanced from “applied” to “under consideration”. I didn’t even realize the system would be sending those notices, or I would have tried to change the wording. The department has a meeting scheduled for mid-November to begin building our list for preliminary interviews by Zoom, and we hope to schedule those to take place in the second week of December.

    Thanks so much, Bill, for sharing that information!
    It would be great if other chairs or members of search committees would share similar timelines of their searches, which may as well be public but typically aren’t, either in this thread or elsewhere. Is there a way you (Marcus Arvan) might facilitate this, for those search committee chairs or members who are able and willing to share such information?

    @Bill Vanderburgh, many thanks for the clarification re: Cal State San Bernardino (ancient).
    @ everyone else, very genuine apologies for spreading misleading, second-hand information. This message board’s success requires that the information be trustworthy. That two fellow candidates (both my friends) got responses about this search that I as another applicant haven’t gotten suggested to me that there was some kind of news to report. Apparently not.
    @information, that is really an excellent idea. The amount of anxiety, not to mention time, that would be saved if search information had a central, reliable source is difficult to quantify. I imagine it would be a ton of work to compile, but this is a praiseworthy mission.

    In certain countries in north-western Europe it is fairly standard to include an anticipated timeline in job ads (e.g., expected interview dates, including second-round interviews if they plan to have them). These are not binding but are usually accurate. I don’t see why U.S. jobs couldn’t put this information in their PhilJobs ads.

    @yo Where did you get the confirmation from? Did you send the letters via interfolio?

    Reply
  99. Definitely too anxious

    Follow-up to those who received communication from Denver and Wisconsin today: did the email requesting reference info say anything about advancing to the next round, or anything positive generally?
    I think what is confusing people is that while most jobs request letters up front, and then follow up with people whose letters they for (whatever reason) don’t have, a few jobs only request letters for candidates who advance past the first cut. Purdue was explicit about being in the latter camp, and thus their email request for letters, at least in the phil mind search, said “we are impressed with your application.”
    So what those of us who haven’t heard from DU or UW today are wondering is, which kind of request did they send? (Neither explicitly said they were doing what Purdue is). Perhaps the UW search committee chair, who has been quite helpful in responding to other questions, can chime in as well.

    Reply
  100. oops

    @too anxious To clarify (and in agreement with ‘hope to help’): the letters were requested via the interfolio link provided. I went back and looked at the ad, and the letters were required as part of the initial application but they had requested for them to be sent in a different way. My impression based on this information is that this is not in any way indicative of a cut to the applicant pool. So, if you didn’t hear from them, it 99.9% isn’t meaningful.
    On a positive note, imo, it speaks well of them to bother to request rather than just scrapping the applications that went wrong.

    For those who have been notified of letter requests: have any of you not entered them through interfolio? I ask because for the first 10 or so jobs I did not know that you could put an interfolio-generated email address in for letters and, instead (to the chagrin of my letter writers!) entered their email addresses. I assume that if letters are requested (e.g., the Denver U or Purdue jobs), the only way I will have of finding out is asking the letter writers if they have received a request. Is this right?
    I’m just hoping to find out if I should have heard, or if not hearing is (given how I applied) to be expected.

As was mentioned above, though, for the Purdue job they were explicit that letters would be requested later and that (in their recent request) I had advanced to the next round.

    Here were the original instructions on UDenver’s application:
    “Please have recommenders submit letters via Interfolio upon application submission. Interfolio users should submit letters to Gretchen.Hefner@du.edu. Non-Interfolio users’ references will be solicited to upload letters via a provided link.”
    While this does seem ambiguous, I basically just took it upon myself to send the letters through interfolio myself to that email address and received personal confirmation from Gretchen Hefner herself that they had been received.
    There seemed to be no issue with that but I do see how the directions might be ambiguous.

    To those asking about Harvard, Princeton, MIT, NYU—in case it alleviates the daily stress of waiting at all—I’ve heard that it is very common for places like that to make decisions about interviews during the last faculty meeting of the semester, or thereabouts. So, they will likely not start contacting interviewees until mid-December.

    For people who have been on the market before (or who have experiences this cycle that can speak to my question): how reliable is this thread? It’s hard to tell how many people view it, and what percentage of interview requests or rejections get noted here. Does it (often) happen that job decisions are made, but that either a) nobody who applied or received word is on this thread or b) they are on the thread, but insufficiently engaged to post and let others know?
    Knowing this would help me, and others like me, know how much comfort we should derive from not seeing our much-desired positions not have posts about interview requests.

    @Anxious in Seattle, the board does tend to get updated with responses in most cases. But I have also asked on numerous occasions whether anyone has heard from University X (on which no one had yet reported), and my solicitation yielded news that had not previously been posted. So in my experience, the “has anyone heard from University X” questions are worth asking, usually, say, six to eight weeks (?) after the application deadline.

    Anxious in Seattle: I’ve been on the market for 6 years and relied on these threads since the old wiki started to go downhill (3 years?). My experience is that the thread (like the wiki) is pretty reliable and up to date.
    I think the most common exceptions are the for most prestigious jobs, e.g., Princeton, Harvard, MIT. The people who receive these jobs are often those who don’t have much to worry about (for reasons I won’t rehash here) and so may not be paying attention to this blog. Also, for jobs that go straight to flyouts or don’t do interviews at all (like Princeton), fewer people find out about the decision, and so they are less likely to appear.
    As far as comfort goes: I wouldn’t take any comfort from anything you see here. You can only get bad news here, not good news. The job market is an abomination and any comfort is illusory.

    @ball of stress: there aren’t any interviews for the Bersoff. They are usually decided mid-December. At least judging from last year’s thread, everyone finds out around the same time (PFO, got it, or alternate). Hope that helps!
    I am completely speculating here, but I think that might suggest that we won’t hear anything about TT until around then either (but I guess it depends on if they do interviews for that or go straight to fly outs). Last year, a bunch of places went straight to fly outs, and it sounds like that might be the norm for some fancy schools anyway.

It says they got the application package and “look forward to reviewing it”, but also says their review of applications “began this week.” So… Why send this email now? But also they say they plan to do first round interviews starting December 14. That’s four days away, though. This makes me think I’m not on their first round list. But why make these decisions prior to reading all the applications? (My application was sent in on time.) Or maybe they are about to send invitations, and will offer little time to schedule/prepare? I’m confused.

My sense is that they will go straight to fly-outs (as usual), and my pessimism tells me that they have already notified their finalists. But the last point is pure conjecture, based on the fact that — in the last years — they usually held their last faculty meeting of the year in the week before Xmas. Don’t know whether this helps anybody, or whether this just creates further confusion. Happy weekend in any case!

    @xmas spirit, request was for a second-round, zoom-version of an on-campus job talk / day long interview for the Purdue phil mind search. I had my first round early in the week. Perhaps the request went to spam or perhaps you’re in an alternate / waitlist position. Hope it’s the former, and good luck!

    @UMAmherst, Have you used Interfolio for this application? You can double-check by clicking ‘update references’ in the ‘returning applicant’ section. (FWIW, I haven’t, and so I guess I couldn’t have received an Interfolio request. The UMass system says ‘Current status: Under Review’ and ‘As reference checking has commenced, reference details can no longer be updated.’)

I have published on topics X,Y and Z, but only submitted writing samples on topic X. The request was for additional writing samples on topics Y and Z.) — Hope this helps!

    Also, is anyone else just feeling like please just reject me already? Even though I am waiting after a couple Zoom interviews that felt pretty good, it’s really hard to get out of that hopeless mindset.

    @sigh: yes, absolutely. I just want to be put out of my misery. I’m technically waiting to hear about possible first-round interviews from 4 schools, only 1 of which I have a realistic chance at. But I’m already convinced that I’m not on the shortlist and I just want that to be confirmed so I can move on.

    @sigh yes, that’s how I feel, too. But most of the places I had Zoom interviews were explicit that I wouldn’t hear until January, so while I’m really wishing I knew already I also understand that isn’t feasible given the holidays and winter closures, etc.

    @no MSU – yeah, the deadline on the philjobs ad was incorrect. The actual deadline was Jan. 6 (though on the university’s HR site, it said they began reviewing applications on 12/1!). I got lucky, in that I just happened to click through to the application site last week and was able to get my materials in under the wire. Up to that point I was operating on the belief that applications were due on the 15th as well.

    Has anyone heard about UCSD (history, assistant professor, TT) or UCSC (open)? I know people have asked about these before, but I don’t think I’ve seen an answer.

    Also, was just looking at the Phil jobs page again, it gives a deadline but also suggests that applications are rolling. Perhaps that could’ve led to delays? Not sure, as other places say that but were much quicker. https://philjobs.org/job/show/17838

    @whattimeline I can’t speak for Swat, but for the others:
    No one seems to have heard from Oklahoma, but they had a late deadline (12/10), so, assuming they took a few days off for the holidays, they aren’t really behind schedule.
    No one seems to have heard from UCSC either, though one poster said a few pages ago that they didn’t expect to have decisions until late January. That seems reasonable as they must have received something like 500 applications (given that they are one of three open searches in a choice location with a low course load, and one of the others, Brandeis, said they received almost 600).
    I know it’s crazy stressful—I’m right there with you—but we should give the search committee folks the same leeway with timelines we like to have our students give us with returning grades.

  1039. Jagged

    @Arkansas – that’s actually the official reason why people get PFOs. In all searches one has to – for HR department – state the reason why a candidate does not qualify and hence has not been offered an interview/flyout. Because,in some sense, all qualified candidates should be interviewed. Of course, this squares rather badly with what is actually going on but if the HR is telling them how to deal with these matters, this is what they have to say.

    For those of you noting the very official “POFs” from departments, realize that this is a consequence of the litigious culture in America. Institutions have no choice – even one law case is very expensive for an under funded state university. I know, because I worked at one. First, legal costs quickly become very high. Second, anything like that is a PR disaster and will lead parents to send their kids to some other state college, maybe 100 miles away. So instead of seeing as a heartless response, realize it is part of the fabric of American culture.

    Reply
  1051. politicalphilosophy

    @Curious — it’s always hard to tell. My guess is that these kinds of emails go out after a first cut has been made but before they’ve finalized a list. Those that are qualified but not at the top of the list get radio silence (in case some of their choices don’t pass HR screening or something). But who knows. Fingers crossed for you.
    @Arkansas: it was not a request to schedule interviews. It read to me like a heads up that I should expect an email to schedule an interview pending HR approval. But I’m reading tea leaves.

    I believe butler originally planned for three flyouts, this week and next.

Therefore, I feel it is only fair to let you know that we are not pursuing your application further at this time.”

    If the question about second-rounds is for the UMaine lecturer position (https://philjobs.org/job/show/19421), they are looking to make a decision on Tuesday and schedule early March.
    If the question is about the TT position (https://philjobs.org/job/show/19417), sorry, can’t help.

    For those inquiring about IE University, my PFO said this:
    “The Search Committee carefully considered your application and your credentials are excellent. However, given the needs of the School at this time, other candidates met our needs more closely and a hiring decision has been made.
    Rest assured that the decision is not related to a lack of qualifications. Other candidates fit the profile more closely, and this is the reason why, despite your excellent credentials, we cannot consider your candidacy further.”
    They also said they’re confident that my qualifications will lead to a successful job market season. So at least I got a laugh out of it.

    Ok, so it turns out that the job market has turned my brain to mush. The PFO I received from IE University was for a position with the school of Global and Public Affairs. I applied so long ago that I literally forgot about this position. I somehow missed the fact that the PFO was from them and not the philosophy department. The only reason I thought of double-checking was because I was puzzled by the fact that nobody else had heard anything yet.
    TLDR: my sleep-deprived, addlepated brain is no longer functioning properly; No PFO from IE’s Philosophy department!

    The job ad appears as if it is tailored to match the AOS and AOC of a current Susquehanna VAP. Perhaps that’s what the previous poster was alluding to, and the interviews being requested are merely perfunctory.
    In general, there should be more explicit discussion of these kinds of inside hiring practices, perhaps on this blog.

    Reply
  1767. anon

    re: sus. I feel like this blog has already had discussion of these practices every year in the discussion thread, and maybe even one time in its own thread. (The reporting thread is probably not the place.)
    To summarize the results of the discussions: yes, sometimes it seems like things are settled in advance because of such an AOS/AOC matchup, but no, sometimes they aren’t. Applicants should probably treat the postings like they treat other postings: apply then try not to think too hard about it.

  1768. Former VAP

    Speaking as a former VAP who was runner up in a TT search, you don’t know what’s going on. I spent 5 years investing in a university and building a life for myself. When the university got a search, naturally it was in my AOS (this is why they had the VAP position). The search committee’s attitude towards me was that I was a backup in case they couldn’t get someone shinier. I ended up runner up. I still feel so used and discarded. It was the most stressful time in my life. Fear the inside candidate if you must. They are way more invested in the position than you could be. If you lose it, it’s just another near miss. If they lose it, they lose their home and start over.

    @confused, FWIW, the visiting position I currently hold was posted multiple times on HigherEd jobs, but I am confident that the hiring department was not intentionally re-posting it there. The process was extremely delayed due to administration turnover. I know they were not actively trying to recruit additional candidates but were just waiting on administrative approval. Nonetheless, the job was reposted.

    For those with interest about Gannon (TT): I was a finalist for the same job search last year. They flew me out for a campus interview, and then ghosted me. No updates, no communication, nothing. Even after following up via email several times after my campus interview as a finalist, there was no response, nothing. I’m still not sure exactly what happened, but they did not end up hiring anyone last year. After my experience, I did not re-apply for their posting this year. Perhaps this resonates with others or gives others some insight.

    FSU has made an offer for the ethics postdoc as well. There weren’t interviews for either position (ethics or phil. sci.). I believe the other short-listed candidates who are still in consideration for the two postdocs should also have been notified, or should be notified very soon. It might take a little while for rejections to get out to the rest of the applicants, as this has to go through the HR system.

    I am pretty sure that Moravian’s offer (TT) was extended and accepted by someone. But has anyone received an official rejection after their interviews?

    Anyone knows what happened with Bristol (AI) and Aarhus (data science)? Usually from Uk and northern european institutions pfos come at the phase of shortlisting (which I’m sure already happened)

    @GT I had an interview two weeks ago, I believe they all took place that week. I haven’t gotten an update since then.

    Curious,
    Usually, but not necessarily. For example, Utrecht had two jobs recently where they shortlisted many weeks before PFOs went out.

    Utrecht,
    Yes, PFO in the past week. Didn’t post it, because someone had already said that Utrecht went out for interview weeks ago.

    Offer out for Missouri S&T’s VAP. Sounds like it won’t be accepted.

    Does anyone know what happened with Princeton’s open rank ethics position?
    Or (if this can be shared) why UNC-Chapel Hill cancelled their open rank PPE search?

    I know the soft deadline was June 1st, but has anyone heard from NAU? The posting says they want someone to start in August so it has to be a pretty quick hiring process…

  2202. re: Princeton

    @Missing Positions, the Princeton position was offered to someone (that person is at a near-ish tenure career stage, so maybe they are undergoing the tenure process or are otherwise negotiating between their home institution and Princeton; no idea if they are accepting the job and I suspect we won’t hear for a little while).

    Anyone heard from the LSE fellowship in Philosophy (moral/political/business ethics) after the interviews earlier this week?

    LSE: I saw someone (a moral/political philosopher) post on twitter today that they had accepted an LSE fellowship. Given the timing I’d say there is a reasonable chance it’s the same job you are referring to, but I could be wrong.

    PFO from Southampton. 15+ publications, 5 years of working in fixed contract jobs, and still chasing that elusive first TT job interview. Every time I start hoping that the job market can’t get worse, it does.
