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.

Any word from UT Arlington after interviews?

Colorado State has scheduled on-campus interviews for the East Asian position.

Texas: I don't know what this means for you, but I got a Skype interview request from UT-Arlington on 2/6 (and did the interview on 2/9). I know that there was a round of Skype interview requests that went out much earlier, towards the end of January. So I was kind of puzzling about that myself: did someone scheduled for an interview drop out, and I was the next one up? Or did they do an initial round and then schedule a whole different set of people for the same kind of interview? (Maybe you could tell me whether you interviewed before 2/6?)
Posted by: PoopyShoes | 02/11/2020 at 06:38 PM
PoopyShoes: i interviewed the 7th, but it was scheduled much earlier. You did the interview on a Sunday? :D
Posted by: Texas | 02/11/2020 at 08:08 PM
Well this is strange. I too got an (initial) interview request from UT Arlington on 2/6. I ended up doing the interview on 2/8 (yes, Saturday!).

UF is scheduling flyouts for the bioethics position.

University of Oklahoma (virtue theory) is scheduling flyouts.
Posted by: Oklahoma | 02/12/2020 at 10:33 AM
Arlington folk. An applicant took another position and dropped out of the search. This is likely why there was a spot for another interview.

Posted by: giveemploymentpls | 02/16/2020 at 03:41 PM
Some of the slots offered for the second smattering of UT-Arlington interviews were on Friday 2/14. That doesn't mean they got any takers, and so they might have finished Sunday 2/9. But there's a good chance they just finished interviews on Friday.

Flyout invitation from Stevens institute of technology (applied ethics). I saw someone post here that they had scheduled flyouts a few weeks ago. So I am wondering if anyone has information about why they are inviting candidates at a later time.
Posted by: Steve | 02/20/2020 at 12:51 PM
Anon @ 9:14: I don't know for sure if Cal Poly made an offer on the Metaphysics job, but I do know they very recently finished on-campus interviews for that position before starting on-campus interviews for the Tech Ethics position.
So, I suspect they have not yet made a decision/offer, but probably will be soon enough.
