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.

Hi Anxiety, Would you be willing to share where the UW Superior job was advertised? I don't remember seeing it (but perhaps I did and just forgot). Thanks in advance.

@anon Re: PFO Hecht-Levi: When did you get that? I have still heard nothing. Maybe they lost my app.!? Has anyone gotten a Hecht-Levi interview?
Also: Cleveland Clinic is still deliberating.

Any news from NIH?

@Anon: I got the PFO from JHU Hecht-Levi yesterday. It was a form rejection from Interfolio. All it said was, "Thank you for your interest in the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics Hecht-Levi Fellowship Program. We have received an overwhelming number of highly qualified applicants this year, resulting in a difficult selection process. Unfortunately, we are unable to extend an offer for a position to you at this time for the 2021-2022 academic year of the Hecht-Levi Fellowship."
So, no indication here they've already made a final offer. They could still be deliberating, and I was just in the first batch of rejections.

PFO from Penn State Berks...haven't heard from St. Bonaventure about second round interview
Posted by: Rene Rousseau | 03/02/2021 at 11:50 AM
I too have not yet heard anything regarding the Hecht-Levi, so I doubt that they lost your (our) applications.

Has anyone heard back from the University of Calgary ethics position?

Thought I’d put it out there that my PFO from the UNC Chapel Hill post doc was actually filtered into spam by Gmail! So worth checking your spam if you’re waiting on them

PFO from Lawrence University of Wisconsin (https://philjobs.org/job/show/15702).

@Annie, the UW Superior post was advertised here: https://philjobs.org/job/show/16554
As maybe you know, PhilJobs lets users search for expired ads using the 'more search options tab' in the search bar on the left side of the screen when you're using the browse jobs ad.

PFO from NYU Shanghai
Posted by: anon | 03/03/2021 at 11:05 AM
Calgary wrote me this week to let me know they had added a document I sent separately (by email) to my file, so I'd guess they're still reviewing applications.

PFO from Carolina Postdoctoral Program for Faculty Diversity. (Fairly nice email, was sorted into spam so may want to check there if you're waiting on that!)

@superior
I didn't. Thanks for that, I'm grateful.

Has anyone who interviewed first-round for the Northeastern AI Ethics teaching job heard back about a second round?
Posted by: wannateach | 03/03/2021 at 05:36 PM
@anon SBU, St. Bonaventure reached out for the second round of interviews on Feb 15th. Sorry.

Has anyone heard anything from the MIT postdoc? (NC Ethics of Technology Fellowship)
Posted by: Anon | 03/04/2021 at 02:47 PM
@Anon - I wrote MIT in early February and they still had not sent out interviews. They were hoping to make progress by the end of Feb. Not sure if they did or not, but I have not heard anything either.

Has anyone heard anything about Rotman Institute (Western Ontario) postdocs or timeline? e.g. has anyone gotten a request for letters? [https://philjobs.org/job/show/16142] Thanks!
Posted by: Pottery Lottery | 03/05/2021 at 05:13 PM
I was long listed today for the Harvard Embedded EthiCS postdoc. It's unclear whether it was for the application due 12/31, or the application due 2/16.

Has anyone heard from Oklahoma State? I think they said they'd be meeting the first week of March.
