Job market reporting thread (2024-25 season)

For those of you new to this, each year the Cocoon has two different 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 in previous years, the reason the Cocoon has two threads is simple: some people only want to discuss/commiserate but not hear about interviews, offers, etc., other people only want news, and other people still want both!

So, please 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 news for 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

[Fellow Applicant]

Last year we implemented an unofficial rule that posts must be tagged with either "UPDATE", "QUERY", or "COMMENT". That way every post would be both easy to spot and past posts would be easily searchable in the browser using CTRL/CMD + F. For example:

QUERY: Any news on Acme Looniversity (Dynamite Studies)?

UPDATE: PFO from UC Sunnydale (Vampire Epistemology).

COMMENT: Please don't forget to tag your posts!

I thought this worked well for the most part and hope we can continue! A few reminders about this practice:

- As in the examples above, please use ALL CAPS and a colon for the tag so that it's easy to spot and differentiate from the content of the post. Don't change anything in the tag that would make it harder to CTRL + F search the thread. E.g., don't write "QUERIES" rather than "QUERY" even if you are asking about more than one job.
- Please be sure to list the AOS in parentheses when requesting an update.
- For new members, please be sure to look at previous posts in the thread before asking what a "PFO" means or whether a particular school has sent out interview requests. (PFO is short for 'please eff off' — it means a rejection email was received.)
- As always, move discussion to the discussion thread, just like we should do with any follow-up comments to this post!

QUERY A follow up technically from the last reporting thread... But did anyone hear back re: the Lethbridge TT in Ethics job after zoom interviews? Did they move to fly-outs?

[Ghosted]

COMMENT

@leaf: I've been ghosted as well so far, though I can't confirm that they've moved to fly-outs. I just assumed I was out of the running at this point.
