Jobs for 2021-2022

Brown University - Lecturer (2), Institute at Brown for Environment and Society

Full consideration will be given to applications received by October 10.

I noticed something odd with my application on Interfolio. Long story short, if you notice what I noticed, a new space where it says that zero of three letters of recommendation have been received (and you're not allowed to start the process of requesting such letters), it means that you're no longer being considered for the position, and that is why you were not asked to request that letters be sent on your behalf.

Clark University - Assistant Professor of Human-Environment Geography

For full consideration, application materials should be submitted no later than September 30, 2021.

College of the Sequoias - Geography Faculty

The successful candidate will be responsible for teaching physical geography, physical geography lab, and world regional geography. Possible additional offerings depend on the expertise and preference of the successful candidate and could include courses in meteorology and/or geographic information systems.

*** Let me tell you about my experience with this place last spring/summer. They put out the same exact job ad last spring claiming to be looking for a Geography Faculty member. I looked and saw they had an adjunct who was there who did pretty much what the job ad asked for, so i thought, inside hire!! I threw an application together anyway. They called me and wanted an interview with a teaching demonstration and a 1 hour test. That's correct, I had to take a 3 question test after my interview, which made me feel like I was in college again. Regardless, the HR person never sent me the zoom link to the meeting, so I was waiting around during the start time and recieved an email telling me I was late. I said, you never gave me the link, come on people!! Finally I get in and do the interview. After all that I am told I am not hired a few days later, but guess who was there teaching this fall.... that's right the Adjunct. What a Wast of Time. The guys name is Dustin Tsai, seems like they wrote the position for him. So... not sure what this job ad is about but who knows.

Georgia Southern University - Assistant Professor of Geography

Screening of applications begins November 29, 2021.

Any updates? [12/12]

Rejection Letter [12/14]

Letter telling me that my references would be contacted before they decided who they would interview (first round). [12/14; I didn't post because I didn't want it to look like I was rubbing it it to the person who posted above]. Weeks passed and my references have not been contacted. A Google search provided some discouraging information. According to the Statesboro Herald, even though we're not in a recession and generous funding was granted to colleges and universities last year, the state legislature is demanding more than half a billion dollars in cuts to the state university system. Specific to GSU, it may mean as much as a 30% budget cut, with expected firings of temporary full-time and even tenured faculty, decimation and consolidation of programs, and even elimination of programs. In related news, in the Spring 2022 semester the university is only offering nine sections of Geography courses (some are listed two or three times because they are taught in multiple campuses at the same time) and two sections of 'Thesis'.

SUNY Oneonta - TT Assistant Professor (Geography)

The Department of Geography and Environmental Sustainability at SUNY Oneonta invites applications for a tenure track position as an Assistant Professor of Environmental Geography with an emphasis in sustainability beginning Fall 2022. Expectations include teaching, applied learning, research, student advisement, college service, and continuing professional development. The appointment begins Fall 2022 and is part of a cohort of eight new faculty who have a strong interest in one or more aspects of Sustainability.To apply online go to: http://oneonta.interviewexchange.com/candapply.jsp?JOBID=140650 Please upload a letter of interest, a curriculum vitae, and copies of transcripts (official required at time of appointment). Contact information for three professional references is required.

**A word of warning about SUNY Oneonta. Last year, this department hired 2 new positions. The postings were put out in October and there was no word of anything until May. Me and mutliple others on this platform asked for updates via the department chair and were ignored. Come to find out they hired one inside candidate and another candidate whose last name is the same as the Deans last name (I'll let you figure that one out). They also required letters with the application which is a huge waste of time. Also, one of their tenure track faculty left after being there for 7 years, she now works at a national park in Utah. Very weird things going on with this department.

x2 on the warning above. Before you get too excited about the opening and spend even a second of your time putting an application together, please have another look at the warning, which very effectively summarizes the comments that this department generated in last year's page.

X3. Another burned by this Dept. Stay away! Still have never recieved a rejection letter after three rounds of interview from them for the physical position which was internally hired.

West Chester University of PA - 2 Positions (Assistant Prof of Geography and Assistant Professor of Planning)

Applied - Said reviewing will begin on October 22, no updates yet, application portal just says "Received" (November 3)

Haven't heard anything [11/16]

Haven't heard anything [12/8]

A source told me some info about one of these positions. Apparently, there was an adjunct who taught courses for the program for 5 or so years and was told a position would open for them. However, last year the adjunct got sick of waiting and now makes abunch of money in industry, so now these adds come out. Not sure what that means for the searches but thought I'd add my two cents. Btw - still have not heard anything and we are going on two months since they started "reviewing" (12/15) <- Thanks very much for sharing this information with us. """You're welcome, btw, check your message wall"""

Rejection Letter [12/20] "This search has been closed."

Recieved a letter (in my spam folder) claiming the search is cancelled and they will re-open it at a later date. 12/20 (Ditto this)
