Instructions

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE ALTERING THE WIKI

Always attempt to start from the latest version of the wiki. If you see any red notifications (located in the upper right hand corner), you may be editing an old version of the page.

1. Please place new positions in alphabetical order within their category. Note that "University of X" should be alphabetized by U as first sort, and X as second sort within the U listings. The moderator reserves the right to change or add categories, or move positions around as needed.

2. Please include the deadline and a web link to the ad/website; PLEASE follow the format of other entries. Include the location of the job IF the location is not obvious from the institution name.

3. Please do not include the full text of the ad - a few sentences at most. Full text of job ads will be preserved off-site; link to follow once I get this set up.

4. For logging comments or updates, please begin your entry with a bullet point. Each entry should have a separate line.

5. For substantive comments or updates about status, interaction, etc., please include the date at the beginning of your entry so that users can scan the info quickly for new entries.

UPCOMING DEADLINES

N.B. For simplicity's sake, jobs with a "review begins" date but not a hard deadline are listed below with a deadline of one day before the ad states review will begin. Please review the full ad - positions may still be taking applications even if the deadline is crossed off on this list.

• 5/8b: I believe zoom interviews took place last week
• 5/9 - Just to clarify— is this position open to all candidates, or only to Columbia-affiliated individuals or recent graduates?
  • 5/9B: My sense is that what we saw on the job call left this question (strategically, maybe) unanswered. The position overwhelmingly (but not exclusively) goes to recent Columbia grads, but the fact that it was an open call itself meant something. FWIW, I applied (as a non-Columbia PhD) knowing that a Columbia grad was almost certain to get it.
  • 5/9C: The job ad also wasn't posted anywhere (that I saw) other than the Columbia music department website. But, I added it to the wiki anyway because as written, it did not exclude non-Columbia PhDs. In past years I believe there was language in the ad that limited consideration to Columbia graduates. -5120j

GENERAL DISCUSSION

Music Studies 2024-2025 Wiki Moderator: 5120j (5120janon@gmail.com)

Updating the wiki with names of successful candidates

3/7A Could we please have a general rule: do not add individual persons' names to the Wiki if you are not that individual. Some updates have appeared without express permission from that individual to have their name appear on the Wiki. Thank you for your consideration.

03/07b: I'm sorry, but no. That is public information, and it is useful for other applicants to know who was ultimately hired. If someone is not ready for that information to be publicized, they should take that up with the hiring institution. What possible reason could there be not having it appear in the wiki?

3/07c: Can you clarify what you mean by "public information?"

3/07b again: I mean if the hire is announced on the institution's website or social media that anyone could see. Eventually, the person will have a faculty profile on the institution's website and, if it is a public university, will be part of government records that have to be published. The Wiki is just crowd-sourcing information that is already out there. I suppose it's possible someone who has personal knowledge of a hire before it's made public could update the Wiki, but that seems unlikely. If that is the issue, then yes, make a policy that names should't be published here before they are officially announced (or the person gives their permission). But I don't think that is happening very often, and I'm not sure how you would enforce that anyway. (I have updated the Wiki before with a friend's permission after they accepted a job, but no one on the Wiki could have known I had their permission.) If something like that happens, it seems more like a personal matter than an issue for the Wiki. But the person can always delete the update themselves or ask admin to remove it. There's still the record of past edits, but I don't know how you can avoid that. If the Wiki were only updated with the names of hires who added the information themselves, most jobs would not have that information, and, again, I think that is valuable information for other applicants and just to get a sense of the job market as a whole (I know some people have tried to document general trends based on this data). If the information isn't available on the Wiki, someone can just look up individual institutions' faculty pages later, but I think it is worthwhile to have it all in one place. I also just think this kind of information gate-keeping goes against the spirit of the Wiki.

03/09: Closing searches involve not only a verbal offer and verbal acceptance, but also contract negotiation, signing, and ratification by senior administrators and/or board of trustees. There are also sensitive issues regarding the candidate's former institution and the courtesy of letting other interviewees know. The hiring should not be considered closed until all parties feel comfortable announcing it via the hiring institution. Only then should it be considered "public" information.

3/09B: If the issue is people updating the Wiki before an official announcement has been made, that was not at all clear in the original post. My responses were about updating the Wiki with information that is publicly available.

3/13: This came up while I was out of town for a week; thanks for keeping it civil! I think the above posters covered everything - I (as moderator) only add names to the wiki when either someone emails me privately and asks me to post their name, or if I find the name listed somewhere online; most commonly this would be on the department's website or institutional social media, or on the candidate's personal website or public social media. Other users will sometimes post names if they were listed in a rejection letter. I would prefer that people NOT post names other than their own unless they can point to the source online. I will try to post the sources of my name info going forward. I won't link to personal (public) social media if that's the source, but since it's public the info can usually be verified with a Google search. If you are a job seeker whose name is posted on the wiki either erroneously or prematurely and you don't want to delete it yourself (to avoid potentially identifying yourself via IP address/username), please email me and I'll remove it for you. -5120j
