Job-market reporting thread (2019-20 season)

Each year, readers ask for threads for discussing and reporting news on the job-market. I recently posted this season's discussion thread here. Please visit that thread if you are interested in discussing/commiserating about this year's market. The current thread (below) is for reporting news on the market (i.e. reporting interviews, flyouts, offers, hires, and so on). Although it should go without saying, commenters are asked to please remember the Cocoon's supportive mission while reporting. A link to this thread will remain on the blog's right sidebar for the remainder of the job season.

[anon]

Skype interview request from Chapman University.

[An applicant]

Any news on Texas Tech?

[Candidate Number Five]

Hey other ancient folks. Any word on any of the early ancient/history jobs? For example: UConn, Chicago, Pitt, UIC, and I guess it's probably too early for Hawaii.

[2ndstageofgrief]

Not to sound passive aggressive or anything, but I don't understand how the questions help. If someone has some new and is here, they're probably here to post that news.

[Rob]

As to the EEO requests, they tell you nothing useful. I just received one from Boston University...but I didn't apply to Boston. So, I went back through my records and see that I did apply to BU last year, so I HR is contacting applicants over a year after they applied...

[anonamoose13]

Coastal Carolina has moved to Skype interviews.

@ someone 12/4/19 - which Georgia State job? I think their system advertised 3 jobs this year (Perimeter College, grad pedagogy lectureship and standard TT job).

[Unsure]

Which University of Washington position? Philosophy of science or philosophy of race/law?

[Reluctant]

George Mason scheduled interviews for philsci? Campus or skype?

[VAP]

I think there were at least 3 jobs at Villanova this year. Joe, can you clarify which one you're referring to?

While I'm very thankful for those who share their updates, I'll second the suggestion of a previous commenter that it would be much more useful (and involve fewer headaches) if folks listed the specific job they've heard news about.

[Joe]

It's the continental/critical theory job at Villanova

[anon]

UWashington (race/law) has requested interviews.

[anonuk]

[anon]

SUNY Oswego? West Texas A&M?

[Anon]

Cal Poly San Luis Obispo sent out interview requests for the TT Metaphysics job.

[Gradez4dayz]

I've been told that West Texas A&M wont have decisions until January.

[I would have enjoyed Canyon]

On West Texas A&M: they ran this exact search last year and did not notify me of first-round interviews until January 22. I then had my Skype interview the first week of February. Total silence after that, until May 20, when I got an email that said that the search had failed, they had not hired anyone, and that they’d be running the search again this year (which is what they are doing now).

So I wouldn’t expect to hear from them for a long while.

[Sans Name]

Any word on SFSU (philosophy of law)? I know interviews have already been scheduled for the applied ethics job, wondering about this one. Thanks.

[Anony]

Sans Name, the SFSU phil of law skype interviews have been scheduled too

[Anonymous]

Wash U in St. Louis (open), Pitt (modern), UBC (modern), Louvain (17th C), Weber State (ancient or modern), York University (non-canonical), Occidental College (non-canonical), Wayne State (open)...

Thanks and good luck everyone.

[ANON]

UC Irvine is scheduling flyouts.

[Mercado]

[anon]

[Ann On]

Any word on U of Alabama (metaphysics/biomed), Clemson, or Union College (NY)? Note: there was an earlier comment on Clemson's timeline but no follow-up about whether anyone heard from them.

[anontoo]

@Pterodactyl Man: Is this Baylor University? (https://www.higheredjobs.com/faculty/details.cfm?JobCode=177092916)

[Pterodactyl Man]

I can’t find the ad now, but the Baylor University philosophy department (in Waco, TX) ran an Open search for an Assistant Professor of Philosophy. That’s the one I’m reporting on. I saw something about Baylor College of Medicine or something and wanted to be clear that the job I’m reporting on is not that. It’s stone-cold philosophy.

[anontoo]

Thanks, Pterodactyl Man! Yes, that's the one for which this add is for. Thank you for clarifying.

[anon]

Is that the UC Riverside Phil Race/Feminist Philosophy job? Did they go straight to flyouts that fast?

Anyone have news about Pomona or the New School?

[anonymous]

@ Ann on: Alabama has contacted people for flyouts for that job.

[wondering]

Does anyone have news about Utah (research ethics)?

[On the Market]

@On the market: Are you referring to the Pomona job in European Philosophy (https://philjobs.org/job/show/13366)?

[Anon]

On the Market: Do you mean Cal Poly Pomona (Bioethics/Phil Law/Phil Science) or Pomona College (19th & 20th Century Continental)?

[anon ancient]

Has anyone heard from Villanova (ancient), Hawaii (ancient), Cal State San Bernardino (ancient), or Weber State (history)?

Thanks for all the info and updates, all.

[yanothernonymouse]

[On the Market]

Re clarifying questions from Anon and Anonymous moose: Cal Poly Pomona Applied Ethics is scheduling interviews.

[Anon]

Any news on University of Washington (philosophy of science position)?

[anon ancient (#1)]

@another anon ancient, UConn (ancient) has apparently scheduled first-round interviews.

[Mike]

Thanks to Marcus for hosting this discussion, but I find the format less than ideal.

I've made a proper wiki for posting job information: https://academicjobs.wikia.org/wiki/Philosophy_2019-20

Since I think this will be more convenient for everyone, I suggest posting info there rather than, or at least in addition to, posting it here.

[Anon]

There already is a philosophy job wiki: http://phylo.info/jobs/wiki

USE IT Y’ALL!

[Anon2]

It’s broken, anon.

[Phylo Curious]

Anon@3:17, it appears the Phylo Wiki has not been working (sufficiently well) for some time. I tried adding entries to it weeks ago. Unlike in past years, those entries haven't showing-up. I'm guessing from the paucity of entries that others have had a similar experience. Hence, the need for a new job wiki.

[Anon]

Mike: I posted a few updates on your wiki, but for some reasons the page doesn't show them

[phone]

Is it common to be notified of first-round interviews by a phone call rather than email? I am very bad about answering my phone, but just received a Skype interview request that way.

[Random Man]

While this format is far from perfect, may I recommend we stick with it for the remainder of this job season? And perhaps someone can try to invent a better one for next season? This way all information remains consolidated in one place for the time being.

[ireaddeadpeople]

Another ancient person here, appreciative of updates on the ancient jobs (here or on the new wiki, whatever.)

Hawaii's deadline for applications is December 31, so I don't think y'all will hear anything soon.

[anon ancient (#1)]

@ireaddeadpeople, be careful: the job ad for Hawaii is listed to expire on 12/31, but note that within the ad the review beginning date is listed as 12/1.
