Page for Academic Positions in Social Work that begin in 2022.

Last year's page: Social Work 2021-2022

Let's do this! Try to stick to a few guidelines when posting to keep things consistent:

• Post information about the position (or positions) including rank, source of information, and desired specialties.
• Update when you know if a school has announced or cancelled a search, done preliminary interviews, invited candidates out for job talks, or made offers, even if this information is anecdotal (but please note that it's anecdotal if it is)!
• Add date of posting to information whenever possible.
• Please Use === Heading 3 === when adding names of schools to this page.

A couple of features of this page, based on additional posts from past years:

• There are two general sections:

• Discussion: Post other job search related information here. In the past, topics have included:

• Tally of number of people checking this page
• Information about salaries offered relative to cost of living.
• Information about the number of places people have applied, number of initial interviews received, number of campus visits/job talks, and number of offers.
• Info on regular teaching load for each institution (e,g., 3 courses/semester is a 3-3 teaching load)
• Please feel free to add topics here!

• List of Schools: Post information about positions, here: FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS ACADEMIC, PLEASE DATE YOUR POSTS!

​​​Interview/Visit/General Discussion

• ​​​If anyone has input on where different search committees are in their process, that would be a great addition!
  • ​​​ Received invitations for first round interviews from the following schools (9/22/21):
    • ​​​ East Carolina University
    • ​​​ University of Denver
    • ​​​ Boston College
    • ​​​ UGA - will be interviewing until mid-October
    • ​​​ University of Maryland
    • ​​​ University of Minnesota- Twin Cities- Was anyone invited for the screening interview? (x2)
      • ​​​ Does this being added here mean that someone received an interview?
• A quick note: If anyone applied for the Gerontology position at UT Austin's School of Social Work, I received a call saying that they have a new policy that does not allow them to make offers to someone who does not have a PhD in hand, so they cannot consider people who are ABD.
  
• I received an email from Eastern Washington University that they had cancelled their search, but a new post would be made. I then looked; the new post is up, and it looks to be exactly the same. I am confused; Does anyone happen to have any more information?
• Did anyone else receive an email from UW-Madison asking for letters of reference to complete their application? (10/12) Yes! I got this email too (10/12).
  • I also got an email on 10/12 from UW-Madison
  • 10/13 I also got this email from UW-Madison.
  • I applied 10/21 and received this email 10/22 from UW-Madison.
  • I applied 10/22 and got the email on 10/22- So do we assume that everyone who applies is getting this request?
  • I also got an email on 10/15 from UW-Madison. I think they're asking for letters from everyone.
  • I received the same request on 10/20 (I applied 10/18)
  • I applied but did not receive a request for references. Should I be concerned? Anyone else in this boat? I also did not receive a request for references. I am not sure what to make of it. I did not receive it either. When did you apply? I submitted my application on 10/29. Received a request for references via email on 11/11.
  • I got the same request for references. Has anyone interviewed with UW-Madison/know where they are in their process? (x2)

• MSU Mankato- reference check notification on 10/21, no screening interview yet
• How many people have heard from Rutgers? Should I assume I won't hear from them at this point? (x2)
  • I do not know, but since they have no deadline and are hiring for multiple positions, I expect that door is likely not closed yet.
  • I just heard from them yesterday (10/28) to schedule an interview for next week
    
• Out of curiosity, if given the choice between in-person campus visit and virtual, which would you choose and why?
  • I would choose in-person because it's important for me to be able to get a sense of the school's culture and to be able to see the campus, the classrooms etc. I also want to be spoilt a little with the free plane ticket, hotel room, and meals :).
  • I feel the same way. I have done both and the in-person visit is very different. You really get to know people in a different way, you get to observe interactions among individuals in the department, and you get to see the school/area etc. I guess it is much easier to visualize yourself somewhere if you go there in person.
• Anyone else losing their mind with the waiting!?
  • My mind doesn't even exist anymore. I'm really struggling with the different timelines that schools are moving at. I'm afraid that I will have an offer from a school before I hear back from others, and potentially be forced to choose something just for fear of losing out on the offer. Is anyone else worried about this?
  • I feel exactly the same! The different timelines are so stressful. I find this process to be all-consuming, making it hard to work on other things.
  • I agree. I have been slacking off on a lot of projects and have lost motivation to do other things because I'm so focused on this.
  • YES to all of this - such a stressful time!! Thanks for providing space for this (*worrying*) here. Take care everyone!
  • Yes! Feeling so exhausted about thinking about all this so much! Hope everyone is taking care of themselves & each other!
  • Yes. It's all I can think about. I've applied to about 25 jobs. I created a spreadsheet. I refresh this page constantly. I'm sad my colleague showed me this page, to be honest. I haven't heard from my top choices and have campus visits scheduled for "backup" schools. I'm grateful, but I'm also future tripping about making a bad decision and feeling a bit bummed.
    • Thank you so much for sharing this. Let me assure you, you are not alone. I have also applied to many jobs (I'm the one with the 30 jobs, 17 first-round interviews and 7 campus visits above) and have not heard back from my top choices. I also refresh every second and check my application statuses several times a day. I'm going insane. One of the schools I did a campus visit with has implied they will be making an offer soon and I am actually scared of getting the offer, because I haven't heard back from where I really want to be. I also have a family concern because my partner doesn't have an undergraduate degree and has struggled with getting jobs in the past. He is now with a good company and needs to stay where he is to advance his career. I know some schools help out with giving a spouse a job (and we aren't even married), but I don't know if a school would make it work for someone without a degree. I'm scared that I would have to accept an offer from a school before I hear back from my first choice, which I actually want to be at and it also works for my partner. And I'm afraid that if I turn any offers down, I may end up with no job :(. Why are they torturing us like this?
    • I feel this too. Lots of factors to balance. One place I interviewed explicitly said to let them know if I received another offer before I heard back from them. Perhaps (when you get an offer) you could reach out to your top places and see if they can review your app quicker! Also, I bet if you are getting this much interest now, you will definitely continue to do so!
    • Thank you so much for your wonderful advice and encouragement. It means a lot :)
    • I'm the person who applied to 25 jobs. To the person who got 17 screening interviews and 7 campus visits, that's amazing! Congrats! And, I'm sure it makes the decision-making process stressful. It sounds like you have so many factors to consider. I hope you find something that works for your family. Don't forget to factor in your own happiness. I have a colleague who took a position in a place that's working out well for her family, but she's miserable. In some ways I'm lucky - I'm single and w/out kids, so it's just me to consider. My diss chair just keeps telling me to trust my gut and remember I don't have to stay at my first school forever.
    • Thank you so much for reminding me to think of my own happiness. I've had to make decisions for family reasons for so long that I often forget about myself and what I need.
    • I am loving the support here this year! We NEED a place to vent and commiserate, this process is so difficult and stressful!
    • Yes, I'm grateful for this space as well and people so generously sharing information. This process is very challenging and stressful...I came to the market with confidence and a lot of hope and quickly realized that I totally underestimate how competitive it is...Please take care of yourself stay supportive of our fellow peers on the market, everyone!
    • My mental health has really been suffering. I know I should be grateful to have received campus visit invitations, but I cancelled one because I am not doing well. Also, I was invited to an in-person campus visit, and now I'm sick. Just got a COVID test. Ugh.
    • Awww, I'm so sorry that your mental heath has been suffering. It is so hard to balance responsibilities that we have (like teaching classes) and the fact that we are humans. Don't feel bad about having to cancel/postpone or even decline visits. Your mental health should come first, and needs to come first in order for you to do anything else. I hope you feel better <3
    • Thank you
    • I appreciate everyone speaking about their own experiences here. It makes me feel less alone. I am reaching my maximum stress level on the job market. I'm struggling to focus on everything and as wonderful and supportive as this board can be, I also struggle with seeing all the schools I really wanted to hear from moving forward in the process. I'm not sure how people are navigating the constant cycle of anxiety and self-doubt that comes from this process.
    • I can relate. My emotions are all over the place. I hit a low when it felt like half the schools I had applied to were scheduling interviews with other people. This is a really tumultous process with high highs and low lows. I tell myself at least daily that I just need to stop looking at this page. It is so helpful! But it also gets me super in my head. But then I come and look daily "just to see." I don't know that I'm managing my anxiety or self-doubt very well (constantly find myself wondering what if I had published just one more article or done just more thing...). So no advice. Just solidarity.

• • I have noticed a number of schools doing a three step process this year: screening interview, virtual job talk, in person campus visit -- what are your thoughts about this?
    • Personally, I am not a fan at all. I feel like it lengthens the search process and disregards how emotionally taxing prepping for a job talk can be. Asking us to do a job talk when we are not a finalist (top <4ish) seems unfair to me.
    • Who is doing this? That sounds awful.
    • VCU and Salem State are both doing it this way. I am not sure about others
    • I also think it is very inconsiderate of schools to have a 3 step hiring process. They clearly have all the power in this process and this is just another way of welding it. This kind of search process only benefits the school and is blind to the anxiety experienced by job seekers. It really shows how our SW schools do not practice what they preach.

• Has anyone heard anything from Texas State? The application "deadline" was 10/15.
  • Have not heard anything at all from them. I'm surprised it is taking long, given the deadline of 10/15.
• I have a campus visit where no dinner or breakfast is scheduled. I guess they are expecting me to buy my own dinner and breakfast while there and I don't know how I feel about that :/
  • I think I would probably see this as a positive. While the meals are a good time for more informal interactions, they are still part of the interview. I would appreciate the time to relax! It does seem odd though.
  • Yes, it definitely is a weight off my shoulders in terms of having to be on my best behavior while eating, and also navigating the whole alcohol situation (I don't typically drink, but felt I had to on one visit because every one was). My only annoyance is the expectation of having a candidate spend money out of their pocket for a visit; the school is supposed to cover all financial expenses for the trip. I'm also super burnt out and I'm just complaining a lot now :D
  • My experience is they will reimburse you for any and all expenses related to the trip. I had one site visit that told me to report everything for reimbursement, even if it was a snack I bought in the airport.
• Any thoughts on schools and the dates/times they give? I am having a hard time navigating the month of December because several schools are suddenly moving forward with screening interviews and campus visits in December, all at the same time. Many schools just hand out dates and expect us to drop everything to make it on those days, but just as they are inviting several applicants, I'm sure we are all interacting with several schools as well. I don't want to lose out on any opportunities, but am also having a hard time finding any availability before Christmas, which many schools are asking for.
  • Yes, I had 3 campus visits in 2 weeks, which was entirely unmanageable. I am grateful, but 2 were on back-to-back days. My heightened stress is off the charts, I need this process to stop!
  • Literally from November 29th to December 17th, I have a campus visit or am traveling to a campus visit every single week day. I'm very very grateful but holy S, will I even exist? How are you surviving? How did you even get your head to switch from one school to another back to back? Any tips appreciated.
  • That sounds really, really difficult. I don't think I have specific tips other than, if you have 4-5+ campus visits, it's likely you'll get at least one job offer, so it may be worth considering whether any of the jobs/locations are not the best fit for you, and if it might be possible for you to cancel or postpone that visit to help preserve your ability to stay strong for the other campus visits. Just my 2 cents.
  • Thank you for the advice. I've definitely been struggling with balancing it all because some schools have moved much faster than others (meaning I agreed to visits because I was scared I wouldn't get any, and then later got visits from places that I actually wanted). A friend also suggested I cancel the visits at schools that I know I likely won't go to, but I feel bad that flights and accomodations have already been booked. I feel like I have to do it just so I'm not a shitty person who backs out. If I do burn out and lose out on all the jobs, I guess it's gonna be all on me. Yay. This is...fun. I guess.
  • Yes, I've experienced some schools being really pushy and not giving candidates much flexibility with scheduling the visit. Feels like they are not being considerate of the lives we all have at home and what we have to schedule around with other schools.
• SSWR & Job Search Related Thoughts/Questions:
  • I've heard that in the past SSWR was a place to do the screening interviews (although this is not as common anymore due to the search moving up the calendar earlier) - anyone out there who have been contacted by schools for screening interviews or informal meetings at SSWR?
  • Also, anyone going to SSWR because of the academic search (i.e. check out the schools, generally meet faculty from the schools etc)?
  • Yes, I was also heavily encouraged to go to SWWR for job interviews but at this point, I don't even think that any schools are doing anything there. Perhaps COVID is why, since schools are realizing they can just do the Zoom interviews, which are easier for everyone. I'm thinking of just attending SWWR virtually, so I can save that travel money.

• Binghamton (contacted 10/22) x4
• Florida State University (contacted 10/22) x4
• Bryn Mawr (contacted 10/26) x2 did anyone get a time solidified? I haven't heard back after I selected a time. They said they were interviewing people on Fri 11/5 and Mon 11/8. Interviewed 11/5. Do you know when we will be hearing back? they didn't give a timeline during my interview. --I believe that they have now offered job talks (11/17/21) :_( This is the most depressing thing I've heard all week. I'm so sorry to hear that :( Please try to take care of yourself. I know we academics often feel like this is our whole entire world, but remember that there is so much more to life than this. There will be another place for you, and never forget your worth. I didn't even get a screening interview with Bryn Mawr, but I got a campus visit from a school that's ranked in the top 10. I hope great news comes to you soon, take care :)
• UT Arlington (contacted 10/26) x6
• UT Knoxville (10/29/21) x5 - Was anyone invited to the campus visit from UT Knoxville? as of 11/23 I haven't heard anything; 11/25 received email this morning that I am a finalist and details about campus visits are forthcoming. x2 re: visit (11/25)
• UM-Duluth (10/29/21) x2 - not really a screening interview, includes research presentation and interviews; all except teaching demo
  • Anyone have any insight into how many people are on the UM-Duluth shortlist? Their approach to interviews is different from other schools...
  • I have a full day interview scheduled with them including research presentation ,meeting with the search committee, the chair and the dean. x2
  • Does anyone know if UM-Duluth is a research or teaching university? I don't know for sure, but I expect more teaching. Finalists will be brought to campus for a teaching demo - teaching demos rarely happen for research universities.
  • Did anyone complete the interview with UMD yet?. Could you share what was the conversation about with the chair and dean? who attend the research presentation? Mine is next week, but my guess is that attendance will be very low - given the proximity to Thanksgiving, and the meetings with the Dean and Chair will be more informative - as they are in a campus visit. I don't know how many people they are interviewing, but my guess is not that many, so this is essentially a campus visit.- Yes, that does sound like a campus visit indeed. Are you an ABD applying for the Assistant Professor position? I am a postdoc applying to the assistant prof position.-Can you give us an update on the interview if you had it. What was it like?. Do they sound like research or teaching oriented? They are a bit more teaching oriented (60% teaching), though they do still appear to emphasize research (30% research - in talking to them, they sounded like they emphasize research more than a lot of other similar programs). The "visit' was exactly like a virtual campus visit - it is wild to me that this was not the final stage of the process - it was intense. Meetings with chair and dean were informational, answering my questions and getting to know me better. Seems like a great place.--Was anyone invited to the campus visit, yet?
• ​​​ University of Minnesota- Twin Cities- Was anyone invited to the screening interview? --I submitted my application weeks ago but have not got an invite for screening. I'm also curious whether they have already contacted people..
  • ​​​ I've heard that they just started reviewing applications last week or the week before. Not confirmed though!
  • ​​​ Any updates on the screening interview or campus visit (11/22)? - For me, no I haven't heard back from them (11/25)
  • ​​​ Contacted for screening interview scheduling (11/29 x2)- They seem to start the process late. Are you a Ph.D. candidate or post-doc? I am a PhD Candidate.
• Virginia Commonwealth (11/1) x3 (Dates offered between Nov 3-12, open search) x2 (Dates offered week of Nov 15th) x2
• Utah State (11/1) X3 (11/14) interview scheduled 11/17-- Is this a screening interview or campus visit scheduled for 11/17? Thanks (11/17 screening interview). I was notified on 11/19 that I was not selected for a campus visit (I did have a screening interview).
• University of Louisville (11/1) x5
• Salem State (11/4) X4
• UW Tacoma (11/4) X3
• University of Michigan (11/4)
• University of Texas - San Antonio (11/4) X6 - Does anyone who interviewed at UTSA remember when they said they were going to reach out for campus visits? Before thanksgiving or after? I can't remember! I don't remember what they said about campus visits, I think it was a vague reply without any specific times. When I asked, I just remember getting this high and mighty vibe from them. No one even cracked a smile. Another colleague thought they were really nice, so maybe it was just me. - Not just you, I found them very hard to read. That is helpful though, I must not remember because they were really vague.
• Cal Poly Pomona (11/4) x2
• Syracuse University - Applied 10/20, contacted 11/5. x2, applied 10/18, contacted 11/9 x2. - Was anyone invited to the campus visit? - I have not heard back since the screening interview...x3
• West Virginia University (11/6) Was anyone invited to the campus visit? - I have not heard back since the screening interview - They said they would be meeting this week, so invites will likely go out later this week. - Thanks a lot for this information!
• Augsburg (contact 11/6 for 11/11 interview)
• Chico State (11/9)
• University of Alabama X4
• University of Kansas (11/15) X2
• University of Texas-Permian Basin (contacted 11/15)
• Barry University (contacted 11/16)
• University of Kentucky (11/16) x3 (11/26)x2
• UNLV (11/17) x3
• University of New Hampshire (contacted 11/19) X2
• Eastern Washington University (11/19)
• Saint Louis University (11/19)

• University of Central Florida (11/22) x3
• UChicago (11/24)
• Univ of Minnesota - Twin Cities (11/29)

• Schools Scheduled Campus Visits
  • (10/18/21) DU campus visit scheduled for November.
  • Saginaw Valley University (Campus visits in October) (position starts Spring 2022)
  • 10/12 - ECU campus visit scheduled for late October x2 - Those who had a campus visit, did they ever contact your refs? I was told by my refs that they requested letters on 11/17. x3 Were all three for the assistant professor position or did anyone apply for the teaching faculty position? I am for assistant professor x3 (there are two assistant professor positions) - Any news here? Letters of rec aren't due until 11/30 - so I wonder if they have made an offer or if they are waiting until then. My references were requested but no offer has been made. x3
  • UGA (let me know they are moving forward to campus visits w/ other candidates 10/26)
  • UC Colorado Springs campus visits scheduled in late November/early December
  • UW-Milwaukee campus visit scheduled for mid-November (no screening interview)
  • Cal Poly Pomona (11/4): campus visit scheduled from mid Nov to early Dec (no screening interview) x2
  • Erikson Institute campus visit scheduled for early December
  • University of Maryland (BSW) for early November
    • Are they wrapping up their search? I had a screening interview several weeks ago and never heard back. I'm heartbroken.
    • I'm so sorry that you haven't heard back yet. A lot of schools just move along without giving any notice to people who took the time to apply for their jobs, which I think is highly inconsiderate. They told me that they had invited four candidates for the virtual campus visit, so I'm assuming they have moved along in the process. I did mine a while back and have not heard anything since then, so I'm assuming they have moved on with someone else.
  • Baylor University for November or early December
  • Florida State University for late November to early/mid December - Did they send invitation for campus visit? I got a phone call informing me of the invitation and confirming whether I wanted virtual or in-person, and then an email with dates to pick from for the visit. --Was the phone call and email before or after the CSWE conference? It was after CSWE, this past Monday (11/08/2021)--Are you being considered for the assistant or the associate position?. Thanks. The posting I applied to was open-rank, but I am ABD, so it would be for the assistant professor level. I believe they are trying to hire at least two people at any rank. ---I do not mean to discourage you because you are an ABD, I hope that they are serious about you. All their faculty members are graduate of their own school especially the search committee members!. If you are not a graduate of their school, it could be that you are one of those who are invited to tick the box that "the effort has been made". Good luck. Well, this WAS very discouraging to read, which I think you already knew since you started the sentence with "I do not mean to discourage you." It makes me wonder if there is even any point to me taking the time to do the campus visit, if there is no chance it will go anywhere. Bummer. Fuck that... i dont know who wrote that discouraging ass shit but if they invited you for a visit they want you!! Go do that campus visit and blow their minds!!! If anything you get practice for a campus visit.-- I do agree it is a good practice. Please read the many books published about faculty search. I am happy to send you couple of those books, or you can find them online. One of them was published by Stanford University. I have been on search committees so don't need to read books to understand how the process works. All i am asking is for this to be a safe space where people can go to feel supported... not discouraged by your harmful comments. People are LUCKY to get campus visits right now and they need to feel good and supported not discouraged from even trying. Leave the rejection of applicants to the schools... its not your place.
    • I can assure you that anyone getting flown out to FSU is actually in competition for the position, regardless of your status. They are hiring 2 lines and flying 6 people out. I will say that most are from pretty high ranked schools and have a solid publication record. My advice is to have your "why FSU" answers ready. AND GOOD LUCK! Keep your confidence UP and try to leave those pesky imposter syndrome ABD feelings at the door. YOU HAVE MADE IT THIS FAR: YOU JUST NEED TO DISPLAY YOUR FIT. Also, remember: You are interviewing them too.
    • Coming to cosign that this is not true. There are only 3 FSU grads on faculty, all of which left and came back several years later. I know ABDs are definitely being considered for this position. Do not be discouraged!! You are being invited out for a reason-be confident and most importantly, have fun!
    • Thank you so much to every one who provided encouragement above. There are several layers of imposter syndrome for me, and I have experienced so many highs and lows in this process. Some very high-tier schools have moved forward with me, while some super low-tier schools have not, so it has been very confusing too. I'm truly grateful for this page; it has been a source of comfort in a very difficult time. Thanks everyone!
  • Minnesota State Mankato- mid November (no screening interview)
  • University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire (Late November to Early December)
  • UCLA
  • Houston
  • Montclair State (early Dec. - scheduling for two positions late Nov/early Dec)
  • Binghamton University - scheduling for early-mid Dec
    • Please keep this page updated on how your visit goes -- I'm super interested in Binghamton but won't be ABD until next year (and I of course no guarantee they'll have a position open next year but still, I'm curious)
  • Augsburg - visit scheduled for early Dec.
  • Rutgers - virtual visit scheduled for December
    • Ah! They just told me the other day that campus visits wouldn't happen until spring semester! Congrats !! and also wondering what this means for me! Yes, in their original email they told me that it would be in mid-late January, but to let them know if the visit should be moved up for any reason. I have another campus visit, so I let them know and then they scheduled for December. Hoping for good news for you!
    • Congrats on the visit! Do you mind saying which concentration you applied for? Sure! It is for health/healthcare disparities. Thanks and good luck!
  • Utah State - scheduling visits for early December (week of Dec. 6) - Date they contacted you? 11/19
  • University of Texas-Permian Basin for December
  • Barry University for December (virtual)
  • University of Louisville (11/22) - early December-virtual
  • University of Texas-Arlington for early to mid December- Date they contacted you? Today, 11/23/2021 (x3)
    • Did anyone else recieve a request for a background check from UTA after the campus visit invitation? I thought this was something that happened after the offer (11/29). I received the background check request as well
      • Just wondering how many people got campus visit from UTA? I haven't got any campus visit. :(
        • There are still a lot of schools that haven't reached out for campus visits (or screening interviews for that matter) - don't lose hope! And to answer your question, I had a screener for UTA, but did not get a campus invite. ---Thank you so much for saying that. :) To add to that, UTA is hiring six positions so they will likely bring 12+ people to campus, so it will likely take them some time to reach out to everyone, just by the sheer number of people they would be contacting. So be on the lookout for contact from them for sure!
  • Boston College may or may not have completed campus visits, but I know they started a little while ago
  • University of Tennessee Knoxville/Nashville: sent email on 11/25 to announce details about campus visits are forthcoming (x2)
  • Arizona State University: contacted on 11/23 for virtual campus visit week of 12/6 or 12/13 (no 1st round interview, although I did have great conversations with the Search Committee Chair and other faculty before submitting my app)
    • ASU invited me to apply, but I haven't heard anything. Anyone else get a virtual campus visit?

• Schools That Have Made Offers
  • Do we think any schools have made offers yet? There were a few pretty early campus visits?
  • Yes, I think so. There are a lot of people on the market who 1) May not be on this page at all, and 2) Might look at this page but may not update it. Given these factors, I think there is a high likelihood that offers have been made for at least University of Denver and East Carolina University.
  • I heard Boston College has hired at least one Assistant Professor so far. Their call for apps was early on in July for 2 open-rank, tenure-track positions with a start date of July 1, 2022. However, this candidate will be starting in Fall 2023 to allow time to complete a postdoc. This is a little odd to me, but it would not surprise me if negotiated start dates happen a lot in academia. I also wonder if they additionally had a spot open to replace someone who is leaving in 2023 and that this is an added position? Does this happen a lot with faculty searches, where they are willing to negotiate a start date that far out? Just want to know your thoughts on this. What would make an institution wait for a candidate this long over ready applicants? Big congrats to the candidate either way! According to my advisor, it is fairly common to negotiate a later start date after receiving an offer. To answer your initial question, why would an institution wait for someone. For an institution like BC, they want someone with a proven track record of publications and other productivity. If you come out of your doc program with a lot of publications that is a plus and you may be able to extend that work during your postdoc. The postdoc will allow the person to apply for grants you cannot apply for as a doc student and transition that to a faculty position ($$ for the hiring uni). It also allows them time to develop manuscripts that can be submitted when you are on the TT. All this means you are more likely to get tenure. All this benefits the hiring university. A TT position is a long-term investment for universities so they want someone they believe will get tenure. This is the thinking of the high research universities more. A teaching university needs you to start right away because they need you to teach. I know other post docs that have been able to negotiate a later start date for positions. I am a current postdoc. Wow thank you for this detailed response! This is really good insight for all of us. I actually think that’s cool that a school is willing to work with candidates in that way to further develop them for tenure positions.
    • I didn't have a lot of opportunities to publish in my program, but have worked on multiple research projects and have TONS of teaching experience (5 years as an adjunct, 2 years fixed term, over 100 students every quarter). Would it make sense for me to consider post-doc positions to help establish a stronger record of publication?
      • This is just based on my experience -- I also had minimal opportunities to publish during my grad program, but like you got a lot of teaching experience. I decided to do a post doc (all research) and it has been sooo helpful for my research trajectory. I have been able to develop a really clear and well-defined research plan with many publications, things in the pipeline, as well as data that I will be able to use when starting a TT job (also got grant writing experience). I think a postdoc can definitly be worth it and if you are low on pubs, it is likely to make you more competitive on the market. Not a necessity, but helpful - especially if you are interested in R1 universities.
      • My personal opinion: a post-doc is only reasonable if your financial and family circumstances allow. Remember, it's a temporary position and the pay is often much lower than a faculty position. It's also time taken away from getting to tenure, which is the ultimate goal for all of us. I would say, apply to faculty positions and post-docs too, and then review your options based on salary etc. A faculty position at an R2 insitution for example, can still allow you to potentially make more money, and build a publication/grant record to transfer to an R1, if that's your goal.

1. Same question about the environment/school culture here; was also interested but heard that they aren't the best with mentorship of junior faculty? Is this true?

• No, it is not true to me. I am a tenure-track assistant professor at Rutgers School of Social Work, and have passed my 3rd year review. I feel that the school and faculty has been very supportive to my own growth towards tenure. The school has a formal mentorship program. This program helps junior faculty members develop their mentor network within the school. For example, I have two mentors, whom I have regular meetings with every semester. Also, the Associate Dean for Faculty Development supervises the mentorship program and also meets with junior faculty regularly to help create goals and address the needs of research, teaching, and service. The mentorship program will continue till you go up for tenure. The university offers different mentorship programs for junior faculty as well. I have completed one, which provides mentor network outside of our school, workshops on teaching and research, and peer support group across departments/schools.

• 2. I am also an Assist Prof at Rutgers SSW on the tenure-track. I truly cannot imagine a more supportive place to be on the TT. There are a ton of structural supports with close attention to protecting time, mentorship, and providing the resources to be successful. And to top it off, it is an incredibly collegial and warm atmosphere. I feel very lucky to be here.
