Job-market reporting thread (2022-23 season)

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!

Comments

[corecore]

any news from MIT (metaphysics) or NYU (M+E)?

[Caldwell annoyed.]

The college of idaho news is frustrating. They had a due date exactly six weeks ago. It is a general position so I assume they had a lot of applications. To have zoom interviews “Almost a month ago” means that they sifted many applications within a few weeks. Where are the PFOs?

[history]

Any news about Yale (Post-Kantian Continental) or NYU (History)?

[Bucknell]

Bucknell: "I’m writing to inform you that we are shortly beginning our interview process with other candidates. It remains possible, however, that we will make further interview invitations"

[Hooray Bovay]

Interview request for Bovay Chair and Director (Cornell Engineering) https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/21732

[Bucknell 2: Electric Boogaloo]

I also received Bucknell's note from Bucknell. Anyone who applied there care to state whether or not they also received it?

[Third Time's a Charm]

@Bucknell 2: Electric Boogaloo I applied to Bucknell and got the same letter.

[bucknellllllll]

I also just received the same notice from Bucknell.

[Rice info]

Zoom Interview request for Rice (history of modern phil)

[Howard]

Any news about Howard (https://philjobs.org/job/show/21386 )?

[snoopin']

@OK UBC was that for the political science job?

[KA]

Just got a PFO from NCSU's logic search.

[Wondering]

Does anyone know if an offer was extended by Utah Tech?

[OK UBC]

@snoopin' — This was for ethics and moral philosophy https://philjobs.org/job/show/21930

[SLAC TT]

PFO Morningside University

[Bob]

Zoom interview with Rice (history of modern)

[Pitt]

Pitt Open/Open longlist interviews

[Anon]

@Wondering Utah Tech extended an offer, candidate accepted it

[Curious to know]

Question (apologies if they should be in the discussion thread): if institutions haven’t extended interview offers by this Friday would that mean they would wont likely do so until the new year? Assuming they haven’t sent out PFOs etc

[sad to know]

@Curious to know, nope that's not for sure. I know for a fact that one committee will be meeting between xmas and new years to make interview requests.

[NCSUPFO]

PFO NC State

[Hopeful King]

Has anyone heard from Kings College London? Their deadline was Nov 6

[updates]

Interview request Missouri S&T

[anon]

Anyone heard back from Macalester or Toronto (Mississauga campus)?

[Nope]

PFO Samford

[good ol Southern Baptist here]

Samford email "requesting an extension" (lol) and promising to have a list of 10ish to interview by Monday 12/19. (A prior email had said they either would have interviews ready by 12/16 or would wait till the New Year.)

[anonymouse]

PFO Simon Fraser (History of Philosophy) - over 250 applications

[simon says]

PFO Simon Fraser history of philosophy

[pfo no]

@Nope Did Samford really send a PFO? You didn't get this weird email requesting an interview extension?

[RH]

Also got the Simon Fraser PFO

[Third Time’s a Charm]

Seton Hill University on campus interview request.

[long shot]

@anonymouse Did Simon Fraser say whether they've contacted people about interviews yet? Haven't heard from them either way.

[Caltech?]

Caltech TT info, anyone? Since it's now been a month

[Yep it's a nope]

@PFO No Directly from the email, "I am writing with the unwanted news that, after the search committee met yesterday to identify folks for interviews, we are no longer considering you, along with 80% of the other candidates, for the position."

[No Holidays in Academia]

@Curious to know: Nope. It’s possible. I had an interview request on 12/22 last year, and they only gave me options to interview on 12/26 or 12/27. They weren’t flexible with scheduling despite travel days, time zone differences, poor internet connection, or short visit/plans with family that I had to cancel to be available. Maybe that’s a one-off, but who knows. So, plan to pack your blazer/outfit and interview prep materials if you’re planning to travel during the holidays!

MIT (TT)
Penn (TT)

[Hoping for hope]

@waiting - someone on this thread reported being long listed for the Penn LEMM position on Monday. Haven't seen any updates about the others.

[update]

Just an fyi, I reached out to Swarthmore (Peace and Conflict) for an update and they said they have no updates to give and are still in the midst of committee work.

[Curious]

It might be early for some of these, but any news from the following?

Trinity (TX)
Oregon State
Bridgewater State

[long shot]

@Junyeol Kim I too didn't receive either the PFO or any request for interview/flyout from SFU

[Sharing intel]

@curious Intel tells me that Bridgewater is still working on it but has made a list and trying to finalize the interview list shortly.

[envirophil]

[not exactly shocking]

PFO Yale (ancient, open rank)

[yale]

Yale notice of campus interviews

[WANTJOB]

@not exactly shocking and @yale: so I'm assuming that receiving nothing suggests that I'm on some uninvited long-list? Or are the invitations still being sent out?

[Ct]

PFO Yale (Post-Kantian Continental)

[not exactly shocking]

@WANT JOB, it is hard to say. The Yale (ancient, open rank) search chair says only that they are inviting candidates and that I am not one of them at this time. So it’s hard to know what that means for you.

[Drexel?]

Has anyone heard anything from Drexel? They have a couple of different deadlines listed on their ads but also said they will be evaluating candidates to find a "suitable pool" as they come in

[Waiting]

Any news on Hopkins, Davis, Florida, UCLA, or Miami?

Has anyone heard from NYU for the Bersoff fellowships? Do you know when you can expect to hear back?

Re: NYU Bersoff. I believe that last year people heard back in late January, so I wouldn't expect anything soon.

Pfroj - did you get a Vassar PFO for the Cog Sci or Phil of Sci position?

[Not an Insider]

[ohno]
