As I noted in opening this season's job-market discussion thread, each year the Cocoon has two open 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 previously, the reason the Cocoon has two threads is simple: some people only want to discuss/commiserate but not hear about interviews, offers, etc., whereas other people just want news, and other people still want both!
Anyway, although I recognize it is quite early in the job season, last year I planned to open the reporting thread in October, only to have multiple readers request for it to open earlier (apparently, job-market news can start fairly early). So, here it is: this season's job-market reporting thread!
Please do 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 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!
TCU PFO (after the first-round interview)

Tentative (but in all reality an actual) PFO from TCU after first round. Disappointing, of course (especially because I felt the first round went really well). But totally props to TCU for their outstanding professionalism and clarity. It’s nice to be given some professional respect in what often feels like a dehumanizing and humiliating process.

Really kind PFO from Emory after I think a pretty good first round interview. Email was personalized and included encouraging, useful feedback about specific aspects of my application/interview. This is maybe the most actively positive I've felt about a PFO, thanks Emory!

Anyone hear from Skidmore about flyouts? I was told they'd tell us one way or the other, but no word yet.

Posted by: waiting | 01/26/2023 at 06:20 AM
Just adding some info here in response to a couple queries on the previous page: Vanderbilt (bioethics) moved on to flyouts after first round Zoom interviews in December and that UCSD (social/political) went straight to flyouts.

@waiting, Vassar has scheduled fly outs.
Posted by: shocked | 01/26/2023 at 08:58 AM
@skidmore? They sent out on campus invitations about a week ago but the process with details has been really slow.
Posted by: anon | 01/26/2023 at 09:05 AM
@1 minute: one of their positions had a very late deadline. My mistake! I meant their Non-Western TT position which had a Dec 1 deadline.

Posted by: anon | 01/26/2023 at 12:46 PM
I believe that the KK hire at Hopkins has been in the works since before these jobs were posted. That doesn't mean that they aren't using one of the lines for her, but it also doesn't mean that they necessarily are (plus, they seem to be able to hire whenever/whoever they want, it's just a matter of them finding the people they want) so I wouldn't read anything one way or the other into the relationship between this hire and the job ads this year.

@ Job market neurotic
I suggest using the "recent comments" links on the right side of the page (you might have to scroll down a bit). Often there will be a new comment from someone on the reporting thread, and clicking it will take you to the last page.

Use an RSS (feed) reader! I use netnewswire on ios. Get a little beep every time there's a new post. Better than compulsively checking it.

While notifying unsuccessful job applicants to our open rank position at NUS, the candidates were mistakenly cc'ed instead of bcc'ed by a search committee member. This was a horrible mistake on our part. It did not show respect for those job applicants who applied for our position; it was an egregious violation of privacy; and worst of all, it has potentially harmed many vulnerable members of our profession, particularly those who might be in precarious employment. Going on the job market is a stressful enough experience at the best of times; to our shame, we have made things unequivocally worse for those who have trusted us enough to apply to our position. There's no excuse. We have to do better, and we will do better. We are reviewing our application handling procedures, including communication with applicants, to ensure that there is no repeat of this incident. We sincerely apologise to everyone affected by this error.
