Any movement on this one? It's been a month. All I can find is that they haven't made an offer yet.
3/30: Got verification from the search committee chair that they are nearing the end of the hiring process (he didn't specify but my guess would be campus visits or bargaining on an offer).

SUNY Fredonia - Instructor of Environmental Science and GIS[]
Review of Applications begins May 6th (Seems Fast)
Applied (May 5, 2021)
SUNY Oneonta - TT Geography (2 Positions - 1 in Economic Geography, 1 in Physical Geography)[]
Any Updates?
Emailed chair to inquire about the status of the search on Monday Feb 15th and have not received a reply. This gives off bad vibes.
What's the deal with these positions? They got posted December 8, with no review date? And no one has heard anything? They are not responding to inquiries? Very strange - 3\2\2021
We have movement! The application status went from "Open" to "Closed" whatever that means. Still haven't heard a peep though. Though, I did notice that this occurred exactly three months (December 8 to March 8) after the posting.
Was called for screening interview (3/15).
^^ Was it for the physical or economic position?
Still have heard nothing for the economic position, would like to know what position the screening call was for, that was referenced above^^^?
Emailed the department administrator to inquire about the search. Her reply was that, "She could not help me and that she copied career services who should be able too" 3/26/21.... very strange
3/29/2021 - Received an email from HR stating "The department is actively reviewing all applications and will be sending announcements out via email." I did some digging and it looks like two of their current tenure track professors are not on the fall 2021 schedule, very interesting..... I wonder if they are going on sabbatical or have taken jobs elsewhere? There are many classes with no registered instructor too....Has this slowed the process? This whole situation is so mysterious???
Update 3/30- Had an online interview for the physical position 2nd week of March
Update 4/13- Next round of interviews starting this week for physical position
Did they forget they advertised for an Economic Geography Position as well? Or is it a case of they are waiting until the physical one is over? 4/13/2021
Update 4/14 - (Economic Geography) "The search committee has reviewed all the applications carefully and wish to inform you that they will not be considering your candidacy further."
Lol, I also applied for the Economic position but have not heard a peep... No Rejection is good I guess
Oh yah know... still waiting on a rejection, or an interview invite or anything for the economic position.... why are some people getting rejections and others are not? On a side note, any update on the physical position?
recieved this from a faculty member after an inquiry on 4/22: We are in the final stages of making an offer to candidates for both the physical and economic positions and are not looking at any new applications. We anticipate being able to do a search for a third position next year, but we will not know that until early Fall. I am currently not the chair. If you have other questions you could contact the chair of the department
Received Today 5/13/21 - This is a follow-up regarding your application for the position of Assistant Professor - Geography at SUNY Oneonta. Thank you for your interest in the position of Assistant Professor - Geography. We have reviewed all the applications carefully and wish to inform you that we will not be considering your candidacy further. (INSIDE HIRE COUGH COUGH)
5/27- Still waiting on "official" rejection after final round interviews the second week of April... No answer when I reached out about the status, but also an inside hire tip off from a friend in another department.
^^^ Holy Crap! Are you kidding me? Was it for Physical or Economic, both are going to inside hires.... Which is absolutely insane, what a big waste of everyone's times and resources. I imagine they had to have made offers to their internal candidates by now. I was told nearly a month ago by a faculty member that they had made offers to both candidates for both positions. This place seemed so promising and unique but it appears unethical and unprofessional hiring practices are ramped.
^^^ Holy Crap, indeed! These folks asked for three letters of recommendation with the application (meaning, we had to ask people who are willing to help us to take time off their busy schedules to write those letters), then they kept some applicants hanging on for more than 5 months, just so that in the end the job offers "happened to be made" to inside candidates. Keep that in mind if you're ever tempted to take seriously any future job postings from SUNY Oneonta.
^^It was the physical position.

I also applied for this^^^ Hopefully it's not another SUNY. We could always start a new intervention group for Alabama Applicants lol!
LOL I hope this search process is more sane, but I'm not ruling out starting a new intervention group!
Another bunch of [expletives] who ask for letters of recommendation and then can't bother following up with updates or rejection letters.

General Discussion[]
2/15/2021 - General Comment - Does anyone feel like these positions are moving at super slow speed.... and other disciplines are moving faster
True! I wonder why. Most of them have start dates in August, 2021. When will they finalize candidates at this rate?
3/4/2021 - Can we change the name of the page to include "urban planning and urban studies" ? The page won't allow regular users to change it and since there isn't a separate page for urban planning for 2020-21 and I see many relevant postings here, I thought it might help.
Changed^^^
The SUNY positions are particularly confusing....
Thank you. But the page header still shows "Geography/Geospatial" and the main page listing shows "Geography/geospatial/GIS." Would it be possible to edit them too?
Hmm, I can not figure out how to change the headers
3/27 - Has anyone else here applied to the SUNY Oneonta Economic Position? And have you heard anything?
3/31 - Also applied for the SUNY Oneonta Economic position, and still haven't heard anything.
