Job market reporting thread (2024-25 season)

For those of you new to this, each year the Cocoon has two different job-market threads: one for job market discussion/commiseration, and another for reporting job-market news (interviews, on-campus invites, offers, rejections, etc.). As noted in previous years, the reason the Cocoon has two threads is simple: some people only want to discuss/commiserate but not hear about interviews, offers, etc., other people only want news, and other people still want both!

So, please feel free to bookmark or otherwise follow this thread throughout the job season (this fall and next spring), and post any news you have! Also, please do feel free to report on news for 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.

One quick reminder: this thread 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 discussion 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, commenters are asked to please remember and abide by the Cocoon's supportive mission while reporting. Thanks, and best of luck to all on the market!

  1. Fellow Applicant

    Last year we implemented an unofficial rule that posts must be tagged with either “UPDATE”, “QUERY”, or “COMMENT”. That way every post would be both easy to spot and past posts would be easily searchable in the browser using CTRL/CMD + F. For example:
    QUERY: Any news on Acme Looniversity (Dynamite Studies)?
    UPDATE: PFO from UC Sunnydale (Vampire Epistemology).
    COMMENT: Please don’t forget to tag your posts!
    I thought this worked well for the most part and hope we can continue! A few reminders about this practice:
    – As in the examples above, please use ALL CAPS and a colon for the tag so that it’s easy to spot and differentiate from the content of the post. Don’t change anything in the tag that would make it harder to CTRL + F search the thread. E.g., don’t write “QUERIES” rather than “QUERY” even if you are asking about more than one job.
    – Please be sure to list the AOS in parentheses when requesting an update.
    – For new members, please be sure to look at previous posts in the thread before asking what a “PFO” means or whether a particular school has sent out interview requests. (PFO is short for ‘please eff off’ — it means a rejection email was received.)
    – As always, move discussion to the discussion thread, just like we should do with any follow-up comments to this post!

    UPDATE: The University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa) will be conducting a search this fall. The position should be advertised soon but here is a overview: tenure-track at the rank of Assistant Professor, beginning fall 2025. AOS or AOC in the Philosophy of Law broadly construed. Ph.D. in philosophy should be completed by August 15, 2024. A J.D. from a respected Law School and experience in the legal professions are strongly preferred. The philosopher hired will be expected to teach undergraduate classes, and support the development of, and teach in, a new Master’s program in Law, Ethics and Society.

    COMMENT: @anonymissive, I got a request to upload a writing sample by Franklin & Marshall as well. It seems like those who have been asked for a WS are past the “first cut.” If they are asking everyone for a WS by sending a follow up message, then it means that they were careless in setting up their Interfolio Application page initially, which is unlikely. Also, they could have just edited the Application Page so that it specifically asks for a WS. They haven’t done that.

    UPDATE: F&M Social Political / Epistemology request for a writing sample. To answer some previous posters’ worries, I think they maybe just forgot to ask about a writing sample in the ad, and so are asking people as they come in. I just sent my application on Friday, and here on Monday I got a (non-personalized) message via Interfolio asking to upload a writing sample. So I wouldn’t take it as a sign either way.

    Given how many hires they’re potentially making, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re doing several waves of Zoom interviews at different times for different subfields. So you may well still be in the running even if you haven’t heard from them yet.

  54. ImpersonalIdiocy

    CLARIFICATION: @IGuessItsPersonal Don’t give up hope yet. I think if you look at the specs on the UNC Sept. PFO, you will see that it was for last year’s job. It was quite confusing because it sounded like it was about an active search, rather than a dead one, but I assumed that it was some kind of an auto generated system thing that went out when they deleted old search or something. I was also quite confused upon getting it, but then I realized that I got the PFO before I even applied for this year’s job. And then I realized that the PFO included a position ID that matches last year’s app, not this year’s app. Pretty sure it was just an extremely confusing way of “officially” saying you didn’t get last year’s job . . .

    Sorry, should have said: my subfield is ethics, and I’m a junior candidate. UW’s email says that I am part of a group of ethicists they are interviewing. I don’t know if that group is just junior candidates or if it includes senior ones as well, and it’s pure speculation on my part that they might be doing further interviews in other subfields. For all I know, it could be that they decided to hire only in ethics, and/or fewer positions than they originally thought.

    COMMENT: I had posted something about the progress of our search here at UW-Madison in the Job-Market Discussion Thread; apologies for not posting here as well.
    The job is very much still open area and open rank. Because we’ve had so many applications (850+), we’ve divided them up among our colleagues, which stretches the process over a longer-than-usual period. Our team looking at candidates exclusively in value theory (roughly, moral and political) has already extended some invitations for zoom interviews. But some of the other teams haven’t even finished reading files yet, and in some cases won’t be zoom interviewing until late December. Similarly, we’re hoping to have some flyouts the first week in December, while others won’t happen until January or February.
    There’s also the complication that some candidates don’t neatly fit into exactly one category, so it’s a bit unpredictable which team is making the decision about whether to interview them. Long story short: If you hear that others have been contacted for a particular stage in this process, and you haven’t heard anything, that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve been eliminated!

    https://careers.uhhospitals.org/job/21150547/clinical-ethics-fellow-cleveland-oh/#toggle-id-1
    The candidate need not have any clinical background, but a terminal degree in hand and some background in bioethics/clinical ethics (research or teaching) is required. The position will also have an academic affiliation with the department of bioethics at CWRU.
    Best of luck to everyone!

So several weeks back would have to be before their “full consideration deadline. . . Or even if anon was exaggerating and the interview happened even one week back, that would mean that they read the apps, sent out invites and conducted an interview all in two days . . .? Perhaps there are two seperate searches here? Or maybe they are doing rolling interviews, and anon applied early and was interviewed early? Or maybe I am just confused about the deadline . . . or about how “full considertation” deadlines work?

  112. not so FIT

    Failingfashion,
    Every place runs its search in its own way. I am not associated with FIT, but some departments do not wait for the deadline to begin reviewing applications. In that way, they can make a short-list (or long list) one week after the call is closed. Where I worked before, we did this. We reviewed the applications as they came in. And we were able to move quickly.

    this has already been covered here, I believe, but Madison had two different job ads for junior and senior applicants and, as is customary, did not request letters but rather just a list of references for senior applicants. So senior applicants who they are longlisting (I assume) are getting sent requests to ask whether they can contact those people’s references. Junior applicants will all have already submitted their letters and this does not apply to them.

    Re: M’s request from Wisconsin
    Maybe M is an example of what Mike Titelbaum was talking about on the discussion thread: “There’s a small exception for a handful of people who accidentally applied to the senior position but clearly should have applied to the junior (for instance, folks who are still ABD)—in that case we’ve treated them like a junior and tried to obtain their letters.”
    But that was posted on 29 October, after the 15 October deadline.
    @Questions about letters: If you plug in Interfolio email addresses for your referees and your letters are pulled, Interfolio notifies you. But like anon, my letters were pulled upon submission of the application.

    Re to @Question about Letters and @anon about UW-Madison: yes, I had an email telling me that my letter writers will be contacted, if I agree. The ad said this about letters:
    Submit “contact information for three references. (These references will not be contacted unless the candidate advances in the process, at which time the candidate will be contacted prior to reaching out to the reference)”.
    So, I got that email.

    Re to M: Ah okay, that’s interesting. The only way I knew my letter writers were contacted is that I logged into the portal and clicked “update references.” Once there I saw that at some point an invitation was sent out and that the submission of the letter was “completed.” But I received no email about this and even assumed that maybe it was an automatic process.

    COMMENT: @UWM — Titelbaum’s more than two-week old comment in the discussion thread is part of why I’m confused. @Madison claimed that they applied to the junior job and had their letters pulled just a week ago. But Titelbaum’s clarification said that only happened if people mistakenly applied to the senior posting or had missing letters. So I was asking for @Madison to clarify whether they fell into the camp of either (1) having incorrectly applied to the senior position or (2) having missing letters that UWM admin had to track down. Otherwise I’m still confused. Feel free to reply to this in the discussion thread if it belongs there.

    COMMENT: @UF, the job ad on philjobs for the University of Florida position states,
    “If, after initial review, applicants are selected for further consideration, the committee will request letters of recommendation. Applications will be reviewed beginning November 15, 2024 and the position will remain open until filled.”
    This suggests that letters will be pulled only for long-listed candidates. It is still unknown whether the committee is following this guidance, though. So it’s probably better to treat pulled letters as noise, rather than as an indicator of anything salient.

    Dear Applicant for the Tenure-Track Position at Hamilton College,
    Thank you very much for your application for our position in Applied Ethics or Epistemology. We received over 300 applications, so we have a lot of reading and considering to do.
    We plan to schedule first-round interviews with candidates in early-to-mid-December. We will use Zoom for these remote conversations. We aim to bring finalists to campus early in our spring term, starting in the middle of January. We will update you as the search progresses.
    For more information about the department, visit our website here. If you have any questions, feel free to email the Department and Search Committee Chair, Russell Marcus, rmarcus1@hamilton.edu, or our department assistant, Meghan Espalin, mespalin@hamilton.edu.
    Again, thanks for your application. I look forward to communicating our progress as soon as possible.
    Russell Marcus
    Professor and Chair, Department of Philosophy, Hamilton College

    COMMENT: @not a big fan of musicals anyway,
    I received the same email from Hamilton. My interpretation is that they’ve simply started looking at applications and will be making decisions about first round zoom interviews over the next couple of weeks. It’d be strange to invite rejected applicants to learn more about the department in a PFO. With that in mind, I’m taking it as an update that they are now reviewing applications.

    Reply

    The Hamilton email does not need interpreting. It means exactly what it says: they received your application, along with a lot of others, they hope to have a long list before Christmas and your name might be on it, and a decide finalists by the new year.
    If you don’t hear by Christmas, you’re not on the long list, or they are running late. It’s a small school and they have to get through 300 applicants, so running late is very possible.

On my first read, I thought it was an interview request because I normally don’t see emails mentioning the interview schedule.

    COMMENT: @musicals I received the same note from Hamilton and I interpreted it as a slightly-classier-than-usual “your application has been received” message, not a PFO. A few reasons to think we’re still in the running:
    – It’s only been like three days since the application deadline
    – If it was a PFO, it would be odd to include all that info about next steps
    – This might sound cocky, but frankly, I’m a strong candidate; I might not get the job, but I would be surprised if I got rejected this fast
    – I know Russell Marcus a bit, and he’s very considerate. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s taken it upon himself to communicate more/better than most search chairs.

    @Not,
    I think you’re misreading that; I do not think that is a PFO of any sort. I think that Hamilton is trying to be kind by making their calendar very explicit to all 300+ applicants. My guess is that this was sent to everyone.

    COMMENT: @Not a big fan, that doesn’t read like a PFO to me. I think they’re just communicating — to a very kind extent — the timeline to all applicants so that folks don’t get in their heads about, e.g., not hearing by a certain date. I wouldn’t take this to mean you’ve been ruled out at all.

    Reply

    @Not a big fan of musicals anyway, I received the same email and took it simply to be an indication that they had received my application, partly because apps were only due four days ago, so I doubt they could have sent a PFO so soon. Also, the language of “we have a lot of reading and considering to do” indicates they have not yet begun (or at least haven’t come close to completing) review of the applications, and “we will update you as the search progresses” sounds like they haven’t sent out PFO’s yet.

I’m not suggesting this is what happened to you; just wanted to add a data point.

    COMMENT: For those complaining about the queries, it has happened many times over the years that someone’s query has prompted someone else to chime in soon after with info about the queried search. It may be the case that these people were just about to chime in anyway, but the immediacy of this sort of response after the query suggests otherwise. Also, querying about a given job indicates to people also wondering about that job that (at least some) people also haven’t heard anything yet. Also also, complaining about querying clogs the feed just the same, but even less productively!

    COMMENT: I completely agree with @Query defender. I’ve been at this for seven years now. I see queries return results that were otherwise unreported all the darn time, maybe even half the time they are posted. I think people tend not to post results when they themselves aren’t interviewing, while they have friends and such who are. Queries on this blog get results, so we shouldn’t discourage them.
    But still, I think it’s good to wait until at least five or six weeks after closing date to request updates on searches. So let’s do our best to resist the urge to ask for updates before it’s time. But let’s not do what people do every year, which is complain about queries while they are effectively yielding new information.

    “Dear Candidate,
    I am writing to update you on the status of the search for the tenure-track position in epistemology or applied ethics at Hamilton College. We have made decisions about first-round interviews and have contacted those who are invited to meet with us at this time. We intend to have those conversations during December with an eye to on-campus interviews during January and early February.
    Thanks for your patience as we work through our process. I will continue to let you know of our progress until the search is closed.”

    COMMENT: I suspect Hamilton is trying to be nice (they’re a lovely bunch) — the idea here is possibly that people make it to first rounds and even fly outs all the time, and then the committee has to revisit the long list if the search is in danger of failing. I would take this to mean, we’re moving forward without you, but it’s not conceptually /impossible/ that we’ll need to double back (but don’t count on it).

    COMMENT: I don’t think that’s necessarily true, @Job market is depressing — this season just seems to be moving much slower / later than previous seasons, but there are still a TON of positions that we as a group haven’t heard about yet. I know there’s been consensus in the Discussion thread that this is because the younger folks haven’t been posting here as much, but you’d think we’d hear things even through the grapevine or second- and third-hand. So I don’t know that the pessimism is called for (yet)… though I guess on the philosophy job market, pessimism is always a justifiable default state.

    I haven’t heard anything since my first round interview. Assuming they haven’t sent out second round invites, it’s possible that the administration is not cooperating with the committee’s ambitious schedule. (One of the interviewers expressed a concern about that possibility during my interview). Who knows…

    Did you guys check the box next to your resume to opt out of their AI-resume screening for compatibility scoring?
    I wonder if it may play any role in this snail mail PFO: that seems like an HR move. (Also, completing the profile to “sell” ourselves to HR/recruitment was a lil extra.)
    Personally, I opted out of AI screening. Neither option seemed like a safe choice. I haven’t heard from them yet, but my mail is always slow. Maybe a few more data points would be informative?

    Not insider enough to know about the current search practices around PFOs (snail mail would be on brand), but I do know that the Santa Fe campus at least doesn’t do zoom interviews and does on-campus interviews around March. If you are getting good news it won’t be until late Jan/early Feb in all likelihood.

    QUERY: Anything on Notre Dame’s “open (except ethics)” search, specifically whether they’ve made decisions re philosophy of science candidates? There was some chatter about this before x-mas but none since.

    Reply
  727. too early

    @IndiPhil I wouldn’t think we should expect anything yet–in the email they sent they said something about deliberating “in the weeks to come”, and it was sent on December 19th, and presumably at least some of the people on the search committee have families, kids who haven’t been in school, have been celebrating holidays, etc. I imagine they are just starting up again and haven’t had another meeting to decide. Also, I don’t think that they are treating different sets of candidates (by area) on different timelines, except the exception we heard from earlier. That being said I’m not sure if philosophy of science candidates should have less hope since the person who reported a fly out scheduled already was a philosopher of science.

  811. Spirals

    The internet defines ‘spiraling’ like this: “to continue to circle around the same worry and making the anxiety grow with each new worry.”
    But a worry isn’t the only thing you can spiral around. You can also spiral around a hope.
    You have an interview, it goes well, they’re complimenting you on your work and your teaching and everything, and right after the interview’s done, the chair sends you a beautifully hope-inducing email, and then…nothing. You’re ghosted. But in the absence of any notification of rejection, the hope clings to you. You’re on the edge of your seat every day, distractedly hoping for an email that never comes, until finally, after some period of hopefully-but-not-always-less-than-several-months the hope dies of its own accord, and you emotionally move on…to the next hope spiral.
    If somebody wanted to maximize the amount of hope spiraling among philosophy jobseekers, they’d probably set up the job market in something pretty close to the way that it is set up in fact. It would be great if things were different, but given how things are, it might be nice to have strategies to reduce the intensity and/or duration of this unhealthy mental behavior….

    However, I applied for one of those postdocs last year and got an interview. I just looked back at my email and saw that I received the invitation to interview on Feb 4. There is no guarantee that they’re on the same schedule this year, of course. But until you hear something else, it seems like you have little reason to assume silence at this point means they’ve passed you over.

    @Notre Dame Ancient – Listing job talks on a cv is a bold move…

    Reply
  931. List them or not

    Though not the norm, my sense is that listing job talks is also not uncommon (it won’t take you more than 10 mins looking around the cvs of recently hired tt-profs to find some examples). I don’t see what could be wrong with it. Many departments treat these as colloquia, and being invited to interview is in some ways even more telling than being invited for a regular colloquia: the department likes your work so much they are considering hiring you as a colleague!
    Still, there may be personal reasons for which one might not list them (e.g., if one already has a job and doesn’t want one’s department to know yet, or to avoid occasioning envy). And one might have personal reasons to list them (e.g., if the school is prestigious, as in this case, it may help generate buzz).
    Regardless, a reminder that this is supposed to be a supportive forum for the grueling experience that is the market. I don’t see how judging, mocking, or criticizing people for these choices helps that mission.

    Thanks to UTRGV for the update about about the lecturer position at University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. I am curious whether they have also made any invitations for interviews for their tenure-track bioethics position: https://philjobs.org/job/show/28390
    Any updates on that would be greatly appreciated.

    @paris_where_is_my_PFO: I got a PFO from them on 1/10. Did you have a first round interview? It’s possible you’re on the long list just in case the fly out people fall through. I’m in that position elsewhere, but they reached out to tell me that.

    Adding to @earlymodern: It might also help for other to know that the request for documents for the Humboldt asks for one’s PhD dissertation and two article length papers. Someone I know has been asked for more documents and this is what they told me. This suggests that it is not the same kind of request for documents that happens with North American jobs, but rather, seems that the list is probably quite short if they are asking for that much reading from individual candidates. If anyone can confirm whether this is normally how German jobs proceed, this would be greatly appreciated by someone who is hoping to eventually get work in Europe and not the US. I will also post this in the discussion thread, but I thought that some interested parties might be happy to have this information added here!

  1073. Overthinking things, I realize

    Two questions regarding the TT open-rank job at University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (https://philjobs.org/job/show/28390):
    (1) When I go into the application system, the current status of my application is “Under Review by Search Committee.” I wonder if anybody else who applied might be seeing a different status?
    (2) When I was futzing around in the application system just now, I clicked on “archive.” I interpreted this as a noun and thought it would take me to an archive, but to my horror, it turns out that it was verb, which meant that it did something to my application! Specifically, it “archived” my application. After this happened, I located it in the archive and clicked “unarchive.” So now I’m freaking out and worrying that my having done this might’ve altered something that could interfere with the committee’s ability to see or evaluate my application. Can anybody reassure me that this didn’t mess something up? The “Under Review by Search Committee” status is still there, so I’m guessing it’s fine, but still feeling worried.

    Reply
  1074. zeGermans

    @Getmeoutofhere! (and @earlymodern) – as someone who has been working in Germany for a few years and has applied for jobs like that a bunch of times, I actually suspect that the request for the kinds of documents from Humboldt means one is on the long list, not the short list. German departments are very research oriented, at least at that stage, and often read lots of materials (they won’t read every word of it all, but dissertations, and publishing them, have a different status in Germany, hence the request to see it and determine its quality). It has happened to me before that at the long list stage they request articles and even books (!), evaluate them, and then select a short list to invite for interviews from that list.

    But here are my current questions (the second one is new):
    (1) If you applied for this job, I’d greatly appreciate it if you would go into the online application system and look at the “status” of your application and report what you see there. (My status is “Under Review by Search Committee”–I am curious if anybody else has a different status.)
    (2) I’d also greatly appreciate it if you would click the “Reference Requests” button and report on what you see under “Recommendation solicited” and “Recommendation received.” (I’ve got three “No” for both categories.)

    re: asking for a friend: was told to exercise patience as “our process takes a while.” I know that one of their candidates for one of their potentially 2 lines need info by the 5th, so they convened then. Last I heard they still had only the 1 line approved and the 2nd is pending them desiring to actually hire from the junior pool (something of a convoluted situation). Would be curious to know what other candidates have been told and what areas they work in.
    re: nam update: Have now met with both Tania and SJ. SJ currently has two postdocs on this project and I don’t believe will be making a hire, I believe Tania is hiring for this project the first time this year and may take a couple of researchers.

    Just noting that I, also, have not heard anything from Fairfield post-zoom-interview. My guess is that they just moved ahead with those who received flyouts and didn’t feel it necessary to tell us we’re not in that number — or perhaps are telling us nothing in case all of the flyouts go horribly. I don’t really care for that behavior, but my sense is also that it’s pretty much standard.

  1502. freezes are ice cold

    @harvard I don’t have any insight about the ancient search in particular but unfortunately the fact that a department did flyouts or even voted for a candidate does not necessarily mean that search survived a freeze. Departments at Harvard and elsewhere were finishing flyouts when freezes were announced. It’s possible they will no longer be able to extend or honor offers 🙁

    Reply
  1503. fly outs don’t matter

    freezes are ice cold is correct. If Harvard hasn’t already had someone sign a contract in any particular tenure track search, it’s irrelevant whether they have done fly outs. What a hiring freeze is is an actual stop of all hiring (even in process searches). I’m not sure what their policy is if they’ve already offered someone a job but the person hasn’t accepted yet, but it’s definitely possible that even in that situation they will rescind the offer. And by the way, that will be true every/anywhere that does this, so if you have a job offer (especially at a larger research school that depends on NIH funding or that would be a target of the endowment tax bills), I would strongly suggest signing a contract immediately.

    ‘Dear applicant,
    Thank you for your interest in the part-time affiliated instructor position in Philosophy at Wheaton College. We wish to share some additional information and confirm your ongoing interest.
    First, we are seeking an instructor to teach the four courses listed in the advertisement. The pay is $5,000 per course.
    All instruction is in person. Ideally, one person would teach all four courses, with two courses in the fall and two in the spring. The typical course schedule is two, 80-minute class meetings per week.
    Our teaching needs are due to a sabbatical leave. For that reason, we do not expect this position to lead to future teaching opportunities at Wheaton.
    Finally, we hope to conduct interviews via Zoom in March.
    We hope this information is helpful to you as you make plans for the upcoming academic year. We would be grateful if you would less us know whether you wish to remain in the application process by 5 pm ET on Friday, March 14th.
    Thank you,
    John

    Of course, if you have found another position, we’d appreciate learning that… and will be very happy for you. Either way, though, I wanted to let you know where things stand on our side.

(The vagueness of “various factors” gave me a genuine laugh.) To be clear, your work might be excellent! They might be genuinely excited about you! But in this context, “read your work with interest” is generic PFO language. It’s politeness.

    @anon Thanks for the reply. I didn’t think I was having much of a parade to begin with! I’ve had a few PFOs and some are more sparse “We’ve gone in another direction.” and others try to say something nice like, “…your compelling work.” or “…interesting research!” I was mainly just having a bit of fun, suggesting the sparse ones might be better– you know, given the possibility that my work isn’t compelling nor my research interesting. 😛

    @cam There seem to be two kinds of internal hires. Ones that are truly “rigged” where the job is fully designed for a given person already working there. And then ones where the committee is functionally set on a given internal candidate, even if it is not technically rigged in their favor.
    Both hires being internal provides pretty strong prima facie evidence in favor of the latter. And @annoyed can be reasonably, well, annoyed by that.

    @Still waiting and @Potentially disappointed: I haven’t heard anything, but, I would assume at this point that the offer has gone out and that negotiations are ongoing. This could be why we haven’t heard.
    There are strict rules in Germany about when candidates can be made privy to hiring information. That said, it is also not completely impossible that there are administrative delays (oftentimes external reports on candidates are sought after interviews, and this can produce some delays in ranking of candidates and in making offers).
    However, an October 1st start date would suggest that they were in a hurry to get things finalized, so I would be surprised if they had not yet made an offer.
    If anyone in the know could confirm this speculation, that would be fantastic.

    Yeah, I don’t expect to be notified when a committee has made an offer. I do expect to be notified reasonably soon once an offer is accepted and the search is over. I did have one where I went to the in-person interview and didn’t know that someone had accepted the offer until I read it here. The committee didn’t notify me that the search was over until I asked them directly several weeks later. I’m not sure they would have notified me at all if I hadn’t asked.

    Reply

    @1st time applicant: Your expectations would be reasonable in a good world but aren’t reasonable in the world we inhabit. Search committee members divide applicants into two categories. Those still in the running are treated with common decency. Those who are no longer in the running are simply discarded and forgotten. My prediction would be that the system will always be cruel in this way (unless the APA or some other similarly influential organization or individual decides to push really hard to fix it).

    Reply

  2027. Relieved

    To anyone still checking this thread this late in the season: if you finished a philosophy PhD, you are probably incredibly smart, and you have other options. Don’t be afraid to take the plunge and pursue them. It will take some work to find the right path, but as somebody who finally gave up on academia and transitioned to an unrelated job, the grass really is greener over here (maybe it’s not greener than the dream tenure track job, but it’s definitely greener than the soul-crushing brutality of the academic job market). Finding a decent job doesn’t have to feel like winning the lottery.

  2028. Thanks

    @Relieved, what’s your job? Thanks for the supportive reminder.

  2033. UTRGV a bit fishy

    @UTRGV I don’t have any insider info but I will say that I decided not to apply to that one based on the suspiciously fast turnaround between when the job was posted and when they want the person to start. I could be wrong but it looked like a pretty clear internal hire to me

  2034. Providence VAP

    Query: Any movement on Providence College VAP post-interview?

    Reply
  2035. Fishy

    @UTRGV a bit fishy: I had the same suspicions. That said, even when there is an intention on the part of some or even all committee members to hire an internal person, that doesn’t mean it’s not worth applying. It sometimes happens that they start out with such intentions and then end up hiring an outsider. They are often required by their HR to go through the motions of an open-to-all process. And, as we all know from reading our Kierkegaard, going through the motions of a practice can get you to actually buy into the practice. A fake open-to-all process can easily morph into a genuine open-to-all process

  2036. Always Apply!

    I just received a zoom interview req for the UTRGV TT job.
    It does not sound like an internal hire. They said that they were offered a line at the last second and that it needs to be filled by the end of the fiscal year.
