Interview/General questions[]

Is anyone still interviewing or deciding on offers? 4/17/24
- I just accepted an offer, but was still waiting to hear from two other schools and had an non-TT interview scheduled. Schools are definitely still making decisions (and even still interviewing). (4/20/24)
- I'm still waiting on communication for one campus visit, one screening interview, and one that has not interviewed yet. To say I am struggling is an understatement...my days are spent just staring at my screens hoping to see anything about anything (4/19/24).
Those with accepted offers, what did your negotiation process look like? 4/8/24
- During verbal offer, was asked generally about my preferences for the contract. It was understood that I would negotiate after the written offer. Received the written offer, then sent a positive email accepting, but asking for a couple of small changes. Accepting prior to the second offer was a bit of a gamble. My understanding is that you should offer a single counter in the negotiation process; anything more, and they'll get a bad perception right off the bat and could even withdraw the offer; anything less and you look naïve. (4/9/24)
- My experience has been a bit different. I’ve had 2 negotiations. In both, I first received a “soft offer” via phone call. I requested a day or 2 to consider the offer and speak with my advisors. I called the Dean back to negotiate verbally by phone. It seemed expected that I negotiate verbally over the phone (and my advisor suggested this is the norm). I was also advised that I could propose several counters. Clearly you don’t want to ask for everything, but I asked for like 4 things, and the Dean even threw in one more on top of that. I’ve been advised that if you receive an offer, it is your turn to ask for what you want. And it’s critical, because you don’t have many opportunities to negotiate (especially salary) later in your career. Once a verbal agreement was reached, the written offer was just a confirmation of what was already discussed over the phone.
Any new updates from Westfield State regarding a second round of interviews? (4/4/24)
- They were doing campus visits in late March/early April. (4/8/24)
- anyone received an offer from WS?
For those who have accepted a tenure-track position: Are the principles and expectations for tenure clear in your school or department? (04/04/2024)
- Not offered or accepted yet, but based on a couple of campus visits -- ask to see the contract. It seems that school that have a faculty union have much more clear processes for tenure and promotion. I just skimmed a contract that had no ambiguity at all. Clear path to tenure, explanation of expectations, review dates, etc. This essentially means that you are unlikely to make it to the tenure decision and then be denied. If you're not meeting expectations, you will know in advance. I like the idea of no surprises. (4/8/24)
  - Recently accepted a position. They explicitly stated that promotion is treated more holistically. I think this is part of the reason there can be a lot of consternation regarding promotion; it's typically decided by committee instead of quantified metrics. However, they gave me the specific pathway toward tenure, e.g., who conducts the review at the school and university levels. I have a good sense of the general requirements for promotion at this type of university, so I was more concerned with how many were denied promotion, as I think that can be an indicator of school culture. (4/4/24)
I feel like I am on the edge of a cliff and it will take just a tiny little feather to send me over. There has literally been very little updates about ANYTHING in weeks. At this point, these jobs will be starting in just four months and I have no idea where I'm going to be, or if I'll even have anything at all. Depressed doesn't even begin to describe how I feel right now. Anyone else struggling? (4/3/24)
- I'm sure something will work out for you. Schools are still conducting interviews and posting listings for TT positions and post docs daily, Hang in there ! ( 4/5/24).
- Job market sucks. While I am sure you've thought about this already, perhaps connect with some faculty you've worked with in the past to line up some work, something that you like doing so you can remember why you're in this field or line up teaching if you like that. I am so sorry the market has been so hard for you, others, and myself. It's demoralizing and the uncertainty really gets to me. You are not alone. To keep me grounded I have to stay connected to the people and activities that give me joy so I can remember, this isn't everything. It isn't easy, but it's small steps that help me.
NC State - I got an e-mail today that "recruitment for Assistant Professor (Position # 00065241) at NC State University has been cancelled. We apologize for the inconvenience." I'd love to know if anyone ever had an interview or campus visit? I never heard anything and I'm curious if they've just had to close the search or if they hired and are now closing it but not using that language. (4/3/24)
- It appears to be a cancellation of the position itself, not that an offer was accepted. The status says "posting cancelled" when I log in, and the job posting is no longer available. For positions where an offer has been made, the posting will stay up (many of the jobs here that have been accepted are still up), you will get some type of message telling you another offer was accepted or you are no longer under consideration, OR you will just never hear anything at all (4/3/24).
University of Missouri-Columbia made an offer but I saw they have posted again that they are hiring again for this cycle , any insight into this? (3/25/24)
- The posting on HigherEd jobs says it's for the 24/25 academic year, but if you go to the actual posting on Mizzou's hiring page, it says 25/26, with applications due September 1, 2024.
Curious if anyone has thoughts about visiting assistant professor positions. I have not heard much about them or what they would look like in terms of expectations, work load, or salary. Would love to hear if anyone has thoughts or experiences to share. Thanks! (3/16/24)
- Most visiting jobs I have seen are at least a 3/3 teaching load, usually a 4/4. They may or may not include summer teaching and they're typically for a one-year appointment. I just started applying to a few in case a TT job doesn't come through. It's 1) a job, 2) something different for the CV, 3) a chance to connect to more people for the long-term job, and 4) more teaching experience if you don't have much from your doctoral program. And unlike taking a multi-year NTT job, for me it would be motivating to stay on the job market AND they will expect you to be on the market so may be more flexible with you traveling for campus visits than a regular NTT job might be. (3/17/24)

Has anyone heard of interviews from University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa? (3/11/24)
Has anyone heard back from Syracuse University? (3/11/24)
Has anyone heard anything from Westfield State University about a second round of interviews? (3/11/24)
- Not yet. I was expecting to hear from them this week, but they're on spring break so it might be next week even though they're on a tight timeline.
- Got an e-mail today. They're delayed but will be contacting people this week for early April visits. (3/16/24)
- campus visits being scheduled for early April
Checking to see if anyone has heard from the following schools? (3/1/24)
- Ball State
  - Received e-mail today that the position has been filled at Ball State. (4/4/2024)
- George Mason
  - I saw someone posted on twitter confirming their acceptance of a position at George Mason. (03/04/2024)
  - There is a new listing for George Mason today (3/28/24)
- Arkansas (Fayetteville)
- U of North Texas
  - I heard from U of North Texas saying that their offers have already been accepted (3/1/2024).
Has anyone heard from Augsburg (the Jan posting)? (3/1/24)
- Someone posted that they started screening interviews on 3/15 (3/16/24)
Anyone heard anything from Washington (Seattle)? It seems like a targeted hire/targeted hires -- any inside info? (2/28/24)
- They are hiring for quite a few various positions in the School of Social Work at Washington, so I imagine it might be a bit until applicants here anything. Can you share what you mean by targeted hires tho? (2/28/24)
  - Targeted hires are when the search committee is trying to hire a specific person for a position. Typically, laws require posting the position publicly for anyone to apply to, but the committee may have someone in mind and may even tailor the listing to that individual. Those of us on the outside usually don't know whether a position is a targeted hire, but some clues may be the specificity of the listing and the timeframe for application. I'm not sure the frequency at which targeted hires happen, but I think it's probably more common with senior faculty than junior faculty positions. UW isn't really known for making targeted hires of junior faculty, and the listing for asst. profs was fairly open content (just related to the strengths of the school), so my guess is that they weren't targeted hires. (02/29/24)
  - They are also on a quarter system, so I expect if anyone will hear back it will be closer to the Spring quarter.
  - It is also so strange for a "top" school to post their job search this late like in late January, when most of the schools had already finished their interviews or even made the offers. Does anyone know what's going on?
  - No. I've asked around and no one has heard among people I know. Wish I had more information for everyone's sake! 3/6/2024
  - Has anyone heard from them for screening interviews yet?? I still have not. I thought this week we might so wondering if no news is bad news. I do know they have a new dean and there were some bureaucratic barriers to getting the post out earlier (3/7/24).
    - Interested to know what these bureaucratic barriers are because apparently on the job post, it said the post opened on 12/05/2023 but it wasn't until mid Jan the post was "finally" posted.
  - I find it really comforting that we have not heard and that others are jusy as anxious about this job as I am 😅 (3/7/24)
  - invite to a screening interview received 03-07. (03/07/24)
    - Was this for a tenure-track position? (03/08/24)
    - Tenure-track position screeners have been sent out (3/08/24)
  - Has anyone heard from UW Seattle for TT positions? Are these targeted hires? 04/21/24
    - Do you mean were offers made? People had campus visits through this week or maybe next, so people likely would not have heard. No idea if they are targeted hires. Others can share if they know more or received an offer? (4/25/2024)
Have others add the experience of no contact after a campus visit? Isn’t it very unprofessional not to call candidates to let them know they weren’t chosen for the position? (02/24/24)
- I did, once, a few years ago. I think what happened is that different people each thought the other had told me. The result was I went maybe 4 months without hearing back. I knew after the campus visit that it wasn't a good fit, so I didn't really expect anything, but I certainly didn't expect to be ghosted! Unprofessional? Perhaps. These things can get really messy, though, so I didn't really take offense. I'd suggest sending an email after 4 weeks or so to get a status update, or in the worst situation, just to get some closure (02/24/24)
- still waiting to hear about a campus visit in Nov. The school is now interviewing for a second position. I reached out and got no response. (2/24/24)
- The whole thing is SO messy. The main issue is that schools move at different timelines, are looking at multiple candidates, and those candidates are looking at multiple schools. That means that if we aren't hearing back from places we've interviewed, they are likely waiting to see if another candidate accepts the offer. Similarly, candidates may keep a school on the hook while they wait to see if they get another offer. It just sucks because we don't really get to "choose" where we want to go, we are doomed by the different processes, policies, and just awful red tape that goes on behind the scenes. (2/26/24)
I just wanted to say here, where people will understand, that I am generally very unwell right now due to all of the uncertainty and waiting that goes with the job search. Updates on here have slowed. It has been months with no word from several places. I wish they did not have to keep folks "on the hook". It's too much. (2/19/24)
- Joining in to share in your sorrow. I was on the job market in 2021 and this page was SO active, with updates almost daily. It made the horrendous stress of the process much more bearable. This round, EVERYTHING feels off. It seems schools are moving very slowly, there doesn't seem to be as many jobs, and weeks go by without any updates on anything. We aren't in normal jobs where you can just apply today and start next week, we are bound by the academic calendar, which means that we're completely screwed if we can't find a job. Even if we find one, it may not be the one we want and again, we can't just quit and move to another job, we have to wait till the next application cycle. To add onto all that, we also have very slim options for what else we could do. I want to be positive but I wanted to put out a raw and honest account of how grim this all feels. I know many people sent in their applications early and some people may already have jobs, but for anyone who is still waiting, I share in your pain. I wish I could end with something nice and hopeful but life just sucks so bad right now :( (2/20/24).
- Right there with you both. I find myself refreshing here a few times a day hoping for news (even if it's announcements of filled jobs that I can cross off my list). I'm stressing about getting a job I really want vs. taking what I can get. I had a screening interview that I felt very meh about, but the school seems interested in me. I'm hoping that campus visit is better than the screening interview (from my perspective). The drawn out process is also killing me because what happens when you say yes to someone and then a place you like more calls you? (2/20/24)
- That's the worse part...the different timelines means you may be forced to make a decision about a school before you hear back from somewhere you would prefer. And then if you decline a job and end up not getting one at all, you will regret it forever. I've gotten what should have been "good news" from a few schools but I can't even be happy because I know I'm waiting for something else. Urgg (2/20/24).
- OP here- just want to say thanks to all of you for commiserating! I find it comforting and affirming that I'm not the only one struggling- best of luck to all of you <3

Has anyone interviewed at a school and ended up hating it or felt like it was a hard no? (1/31/24)
- I had a screening interview that wasn't a hard no, but was certainly an "I don't think this is gonna work for me." Of course, they've reached out to all my references and now I'm waiting to see if I get an offer because they definitely seem interested. My dilemma if offered is whether to accept or turn it down and hope something better comes along. Does anyone know someone who has accepted and then later rejected the job to take something else? It happens all the time in the regular world, but how damaging is it in academia? (2/20/24)
  - Everything i have heard is you are burning that bridge with that department permanently. that said, you have to do whats best for you. If a better offer comes along, then you have to weigh your options. (but make sure that other offer is like, 100%!)
  - To be honest, I've heard A LOT of things that we should or shouldn't do to avoid burning bridges and so forth in this process. Yet, we will all face situations where we don't have a choice, we just need to do what works for us. There's so much people-pleasing and minding of one's reputation that it gets SO draining. Many of us are making decisions keeping location, family, salary, and many other factors in mind. If you are a really bold and confident person, accept the offer and turn it down later (you are 100% able to do this. You can even quit on your first day). I am personally a wimp who struggles with disappointing someone, so I've gone the risky route of not proceeding with certain campus visits/turning down offers with the hope of getting an offer at the places I prefer. I wish I were one of those strong confident people who negotiate hard and take charge but alas, I am not :(. (2/20/24).
What has been your campus visit attire? (1/25/24)
- I tend to be just under formal: coordinated suitcoat and pants-but typically not matching. Coordinated tie and pocket square. I generally avoid colors of the university or their known sports rivals. (1/30/24)
- I wore a grey pant suit - simple but current in style. I wore colorful shoes, but that's how I normally dress and it's a safe expression of my personality. I got lots of compliments on the shoes. (1/30/24)
- I wore a button up (typically solid color or simple pattern, like a checkers or stripes) with a bow tie and a pair of dark blue chinos or light tan khakis, with dress shoes. From the candidates invited to my university, I've seen a pretty wide variety of attire. (1/31/24)
Wondering if anyone has tips for how they've gone about locating post-doc positions? It is starting to feel like that time... (1/25/24)
- Depending on your research focus, you can look at listings for other fields. For example, I skim through Public Health postings on HigherEdJobs and check the job board weekly for Academy Health given my health equity and policy focus. I've seen a few on twitter as well from following people doing work similar to my own. I'm curious about tips anyone else might have though. (1/25/24)
- In the past, I looked for research centers in my subfield, and then checked their websites to see if they were hiring. Twitter/word-of-mouth are also great options. Relatively few postdocs are posted in the faculty listings. Make sure though that if it's a postdoc that it actually has explicit training opportunities outlined that will help you in your development. Many of them are just cheap, short-term labor, and in that case you'd be much better off in a research scientist position. (1/31/24)
Has anyone heard from UNC after their initial SSWR interview? Or know their timeline? (01/24/2024)
- Was told they would be making offers for campus visits this week (1/25/24)
For folks who have applied internationally, I'm curious about how expectations for cover letters and other application materials differs by country. Are there differences? If I were to apply for a position in the UK, for example, would I be expected to use British version of words when applicable? (1/24/24)

Has anyone been completely shocked to be offered a campus visit? Like the screening interview was terrible and you surely bombed it, but somehow you still moved forward in the process? Every screening interview has been awful for me, and everyone says "I'm sure you did great!" But sure enough, no campus visits. I would like to think that it is just a coincidence and screening interviews were not as bad as I thought (1/15/24)
- Yes, I have had 2 campus visits offered where I did not believe the initial screening interview went well. I think it is really hard to gauge what schools are looking for ( 1/24/24).
- This is so comforting- thank you for sharing! (1/24/24)

Has anyone heard from VCU or UMKC? I saw that they reposted these positions within the past 2 days? (1/11/24)
- UMKC has campus visits scheduled for the end of January (1/11/24)
- VCU also has campus visits scheduled for January and February (1/15/24)
Anyone has updates from UA or UAB? Have they made offers? Thx! (1/10/24)
- - UAB said they would be reaching out end of Jan early Feb. Good luck (to us both!!)
- Did you heard anything from UA or UAB? Did they begin to send offers? Thank you and best of luck to all of us! (1/30/2024).
- No, I did not hear anything. I’m still anxiously waiting for UAB. Fingers crossed! Are you waiting for UA or UAB? Can we let each other know once they sent the offers. Waiting is really hard. (1/31/2024)
- Absolutely. I know it is so hard to wait. I have been waiting for UAB. Good luck for all of us and thank you !(1/31/2024).
- UAB had made an offer (02/09/24).
- Congratulations!!! idDthey email you or call you? and dd UAB send another offer as well?
- Thank you!! They emailed me this morning. I’m not sure about the other offer. (2/9/24)
- Thank you for letting us know and best of luck in your career!
For those who want to boost their research accomplishments, whether as a student, post-doc, researcher, or faculty member, would you mind sharing your strategy for building research collaborations or building up your CV?
- I'm a researcher a few years out of my program. A couple years ago, I added bullets for each project I worked on to my CV, with very short (3 or 4 lines) descriptions of the projects and my responsibilities. More than just taking up space, it really helps to specify your abilities, experience, and interests. For building research collaborations, flesh out an idea for a paper (at least as far as question->methods) and then reach out to early/mid-career folks to see if they want to collaborate around that idea. That's worked well for me. (01/31/24)
- The best way to have a high number of publications is to find a publicly-available secondary dataset with variables related to your area of research and use it to publish research articles. You can invite people to review it and add them to the papers. Other options would be to write conceptual/theoretical papers (basically a literature review), write narrative reviews, and write systematic reviews. (2/1/24)
Does anyone else feel like they just need a mental break from thinking about the academic job market ? (1/5/24)
- Yes, 100%. I feel like I'm in a constant state of anxiety because of how unpredictable the academic job market is. I am exhausted! I also worry that if I don't end up getting a faculty position, I'll be too burnt out to effectively apply to industry positions or finish my dissertation on time. This process is rough. Having really fantastic friends, cohort-members, and faculty mentors to talk through these feelings and commiserate has been so important for me to stay afloat (plus a therapist, lol). (1/6/24)
  - I agree with all of this ! venting to trusted people has been helpful and I can't wait for it to be over with. I also already feel this burn out when it comes to screening interviews, it's draining to continue to have to talk to so many people over and over. ( 1/7/24)
- I feel this so much. I'm in this awful limbo, its making me doubt myself and the worth of my research. I'm trying to pour all that into finishing my dissertation, and trying not to just be waiting for the phone to ring (1/7/24)
  - I think it is especially hard for those of us who are ABD! It feels like we are fighting against those who have already held assistant professor positions or post-docs. For me, it makes me feel underprepared. It almost makes me feel regret sometimes that I didn't choose a career path that was more clear . We put in all this work to get into academia and that is nowhere near a guarantee . (1/7/24)
  - At this stage of the game it is all "goodness of fit". I have received interviews from schools I didn't think I would get a second glance from and at the same time not received an interview for schools that I thought I was just right for. I do get the feelings of doubt--I keep telling myself that if this doesn't pan out, I can always go back into practice with an agency. (1/30/24)
  - I think that has been the hardest part for me. I thought that having a strong CV was the only thing we needed to do but there are SO many factors that are completely out of our control. Schools may want someone in a different research area than yours, there may be politics/behind-the-scenes stuff, some schools may have too many candidates or not enough etc. There's so much we don't know and all we can do is wait for that email/phone call/text. I also wish I had chosen a career path that isn't so difficult :( Alas, here we are. (2/1/24)
For those who have applied to positions in other disciplines, which disciplines have you applied in? (12/30)
- Sociology - but no luck :( either no response, or a form rejection
- Women’s studies, public health (no response yet)
- Public Health (received offer)
- Nursing (received offer)
- Early Childhood, Youth, and Family Studies (no response)
- Human Development (no response)
- Public Administration (no response)
Without considering any factors, what's your dream school? (Just for fun, :) 12/29/2023)
- Boston University (x2)
- University of Wisconsin-Madison
- University of Indiana-Bloomington
- UCLA (x2)
- University of Illinois Chicago
- Boston College
- University of Michigan
- University of Toronto
It is ..strange? To see some schools that are listed here as being far along in their interview process still accepting applications and/or reposting their job listing on job boards. I saw some school on here who have already scheduled campus visits but are actively recruiting for applicants still? (12/29/2023)
- I have been wondering about this as well. I got a late start at applying for jobs. Most of my submissions were late November or this past month (Dec.). I had assumed that I was not going to have a shot at some of the schools that posted early, but I've seen places updating their posts on HigherEdJobs or CSWE. I'm conflicted about whether to put in the energy to apply. Any thoughts on this? Is this something to reach out to search chairs about or will I just look like I was unprepared by not applying sooner?
  - I feel like a lot of schools got a late start with hiring and actually even reviewing applications this year, so I don't feel like you are behind at all. I have been applying since August and I feel like things are just now picking up steam. I just wonder the logic behind schools that are already actively entertaining candidates with campus visits, yet stills seeking more applicants? This entire process feels like a game with rules I don't understand. (12/29/2023)
  - I think some of the later postings may be automatic reposts or just accidental. In past years, I've seen these late announcements go out and then get taken down in a day or two. Even seen a couple go out after hires were made. That said, this year's market is a bit strange, and schools seem to be having multiple rounds of interviews. (01/03/2024)
Anyone else worried about all the colleges that are merging or closing? (12/26/2023)
- stay away from small private liberal colleges in the northeast and midwest with falling enrollments :) (12/26/2023)
- Not just the small private liberal arts colleges, also the more regional public colleges in the Northeast and Midwest as well as some parts of the South. Even flagships like West Virginia University are cutting programs, and same with Penn State campus and some SUNY schools. Not a great time to be getting into higher ed (12/27/23).
ABD folks and post-docs looking for faculty positions- I’d love to hear your back up plans. Is anyone else panicking yet? (12/21/23)
- After I am done screaming into the void...I think my backup option would be to continue to apply for roles into the spring , since it seems like jobs are continuing to roll out. But I'm also open to industry roles as well. (12/21/23)
- Same -- hoping for spring jobs to post, but preparing to apply to industry. (1/24/24)
On the page from last year's cycle, I saw that there was some concern about UT Arlington being a safe space for BIPOC faculty and I am wondering if anyone who has interviewed with them can speak to whether they feel this is still a concern? I saw that they have a new posting for faculty positions (12/21)
- I had a campus visit there in 2021. Their dean has done horrible things to faculty and students. When I was there I was told he would be stepping down soon. So I am not sure if that is still the case since it was 2 years ago.
- The dean has stepped down, but is still faculty. The interim dean is a long-time faculty member. (01/31/24)
- I had a screening interview there in 2021. One of their committee members asked me a very uncomfortable question, and ever since then, that school has been on my blacklist. (03/2024)
- I had a very pleasant visit to Arlington during this job search cycle. I found the faculty to be thoughtful and transparent, and willing to discuss above-listed concerns -- they took them seriously. They have a new Dean, and a lot of things appear to be changing in a positive direction.
I know university of utah has extended offers 12/20/23
The waiting game is killing me ! Does anyone have updates today on ANYTHING? (12/20/23)
- I feel you. The high of the campus visit met with the cold silence as weeks go by... hard to know if its holiday season or just slow bureaucratic stuff (12/20/23).
- Just replying to commiserate. :( (12/21/23)
A month has passed since my initial screening interview at a few of the places I've interviewed at. Is this a typical delay between interview and inquiries about campus visits? I'm losing my mind a bit! (12/10/23)
- I feel you. The waiting is unbearable! I feel like one month is not uncommon, but personally, I would reach out after that amount of time. They may have updates and just have not shared widely yet. (12/11/23)
- In my experience this cycle, not hearing back means they have very likely moved on to other candidates and just have not gotten back to you. I have heard from 2 programs only after they had already held campus visits or made offers. One explicitly said they would keep me as an option in case other candidates fall through- Also, I have seen updates on here for positions I have applied to that show that they are moving forward, yet I have not heard from them yet ( 12/11/23)
  - This is my hunch and experience, as well. The rejections came flying in long after the updates. The only vague glimmer of hope is that the schools I'm waiting to hear back from haven't been listed here yet ... (12/11/23)
How is everyone feeling in general about the job market and interview this year ? (12/9/23)
- Awful, to be honest. I know there are fewer positions than in previous years, and there also seems to be a larger pool of applicants. But I have had few screening interviews and no campus visits. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. (12/11/23)
- I agree, it feels like a rat race this year ( 12/11/23)
- It's a pretty horrid job market. Even the few job posting we do have this year, are not diverse and looking for the exact same candidates. I expect it to get better in the next several years, or maybe this is the new reality - who knows (12/11/23)
Has anyone heard from Erikson? (12/5/23)
- Erikson scheduled campus visits for late Nov/Early Dec (12/6/23)
Anyone heard anything from either of the USCs (Carolina or California)? (12/3/23)
- See thread below for California.
Anyone heard anything from Georgia State? (12/3/23)
- The last I heard they were still conducting screening interviews. They said this may take a while due to number of applicants (12/6/23)
- They conducted campus visits this week (12/8/23)
- Any updates if Georgia State has made an offer? (12/21/23)
  - I was one of the three finalists and have not heard back. Were you also a finalist? If so, I wonder if the third finalist is checking this page at all. If not, then there were two others. (12/21/23)
  - yes, I was one of the finalists. So I guess the third has it, or we can still both hold out hope! 😆 (12/22/23)
Has anyone heard from Binghamton or know their timeline? (11/29/23)
- Talking with a Binghamton colleague at SSWR, I believe they have had some campus visits scheduled. (1/30/24)
Have folks heard from the following schools about pre-screening interviews or campus visits: UConn, UMich—Dearborn, Pitt, Vermont? (11/23)
- Heard informally that Vermont was only going to be doing interviews later in December, and campus visits in January and February!
- UConn and Pitt currently doing campus visits, (11/29/23)
Anyone heard anything from the University of Wisconsin-Madison? (11/17/2023)
- they sent me a stock email to reject me - so i think that counts as hearing from them! (11/17/23) - Thank you for this information!! (11/18/23)
- stock rejection to me as well, on 11/21
- Rejection on 11/18
- I saw someone had accepted the offer from UW Madison on twitter. Has anyone ever received a zoom interview or campus invite? I didn’t apply for this position but I literally heard no one around me or I know received anything but the stock rejection email. I was wondering if this is an internal hire because the people who accepted the position was already associated with the school as a fellow. I might be wrong, though. Anyways congratulations to whoever secure the position! (12/24/2023).
Has UBuffalo started campus visits (11/15/23)?
- Yes for late Nov/Early Dec (11/30/23)
What schools have made offers? (11/9/23)
- Also curious...(11/14/23)
Have screening interviews started Pitt yet? (11/8/23)
Has anyone heard from University of Illinois- Urbana Champaign? (10/25/23)
- Another doc student in my department applied there and they recently heard back (10/25/23)
  - Was the notification sent in Oct?
- I heard from them to schedule an interview on 10/12 (10/25/23)
  - Did they email you or call you via cellphone? (Nov-12-2023)
  - Email (11/12/2023)
  - Did they tell you campus interview?
Will the schools notify you if you had gone through the screening interview but were not selected for the campus visit? (10/23/2023)
- Usually not. You may be in a backup pool while they wait to see how the campus visits go.
- I received a notification from one school letting me know I was not selected for a campus visit , but that I may be considered as a backup in the future so to keep them under consideration. (11/30/23)
Did people get emails for screening interviews from University at Buffalo? I got an email 10/4 saying they were just beginning to review applications (10/24/23)
- Yes, I received an email to schedule a virtual screening interview on 10/20/23.
- when did you apply? I’ve heard they go by when people apply? (10/25/23)
- I submitted my application on 9/14 and was asked to schedule on 10/20. I did also receive the email on 10/4 saying that they were just beginning to review applications.
- I had my screening interview on 10/4 and wad told that I was the first one they interviewed. I submitted my application on Aug. 19th.
Has anyone heard from any of the cal states? (10/20/23)
- Cal State East Bay has started scheduling virtual interviews (10/27/23)
- Cal State East Bay said they will only be doing campus visits in January
Did you receive the interview questions prior to the initial Zoom interview? - No, but I spoke to recent graduates and got some idea from them about what kinds of questions were asked, so I could prepare myself. The book "The Professor is In" also had suggestions (10/20/23)
- University of Kansas sent their questions beforehand, but that was the only one that did from the three schools that scheduled a screener (10/25/23)
- University of Utah sent their questions in prior too
Was anyone able to sign up for time slots via Calendly with the UCLA Luskin Social Welfare? The calendar showed "no times available," so I'm not sure if they were all booked by the time I opened it, or if its not working properly (10/19/23)
- Yes, I was able to sign-up. I signed up very early this morning and there were only a few slots left, so depending on when you clicked the link, I would assume that they are booked up (10/19/23)
- I was not able to sign up and reached out to the contact person, who opened up new slots later in the day 10/19. Currently 2 SPOTS STILL OPEN for Thurs!! (10/24/23)
For folks who are attending or have attended CSWE APM, do you have any tips for connecting with faculty from hiring institutions? I was told that in the past, before COVID, there were often informal meetings for job seekers or on-site screening interviews (10/18)
- Reaching out to the search committees to inquire whether any of their faculty will be present at APM, and if so, whether they have time to chat is what was suggested to me. You can also stop past the various booths in the conference hall to chat with faculty from schools, or look up when their presentations are to attend and briefly introduce yourself afterwards (10/18)

Does University of Pittsburgh start screening interviews? (10/16)
- No update at all since the submission (early Sep). Apparently they said "Review of applications will begin in September 2023" and there is no contact information of the search committee chair or anything on their job post. TBH recruitment like this is very disappointing.

Does anyone hear interview notification from UConn? (10/12)
- I heard initial interviews will begin at the end of Oct (10/16)
  - Did UConn already send interview notification? (10/18)
    - Not yet...first batch of invites are expected at the end of this week/early next week. Another batch will follow. (10/18)
    - Anyone hear anything from UConn? Did any of those invites materialize last week or this week? (10/24/23)
For folks who have completed interviews of any kind, would you mind providing us with a flavor of the kinds of questions that were asked? (10/5)
- I was asked questions about my ability and preparedness to teach online classes/manage online education, my perceived fit with school's current research agenda, whether I had 2 years+ of practice experience and what types of clients I served, and then all the classics about why X school, what do you have to offer, research trajectory, pedagogical philosophy, experience with students from X or Y background (like first gen, etc), and how practice influenced research and teaching. Hope that's helpful! (10/6)
- I was asked about mentoring, advising, past and future collaborations, how I dealt with a challenging experience in the classroom (10/7)
- I was asked about the level of competencies in the online teaching platform (10/7)
For those who have completed a screening interview with Erikson Institute, how was it? (10/5)
- It seemed to go well but hard to get a read. (10/6)
- I thought mine went well too. I left the meeting feeling pretty confident. I felt they were particularly interested in my clinical work with children and adolescents, and they seemed to respond well to my responses. I got an email notification from their HR department the next day saying they were looking for someone who more meets their needs. So I would agree, I guess it was hard to read. (10/12)
Does anyone know if University of Southern California (USC) removed their posting/cancelled their search? I clicked on the link and can only seem to navigate to lecturer positions (9/26)
- I am wondering the same thing, but I couldn't locate any faculty positions in the school of social work at all (9/29)
- Wondering the same thing - never heard back about my application submitted in late August. (10/1) -> Ditto this
- Applied in mid September, getting notified electronically as my letters of reference are submitted, but nothing back from USC themselves (10/3)
- I don't know anything definitive but I spoke with a tenured prof over there in August who said they desperately need asst profs (many left/are leaving) but mostly want folks who can teach clinical courses. Maybe they're still reviewing applications? (10/22)
- Heard from a doc student at USC that they were having campus visits from candidates this week (10/25)
- Btw, the campus visits this week at USC are for associate professor positions (10/26)
- Just talked with a friend at USC. They have finished campus visits for associates and assistants and are in the final decision making phase. (12/7)
Can anyone speak to the climate at Mizzou? The position prioritizes gender and sexual identity, reproductive health, health disparities, etc. but it's a state school and the political climate in the state worries me. The job posting hits all my wishes, but the location has me hesitating. How's the department?
- I have a close colleague there who does reproductive health work who finds the department supportive and collaborative (8/22)
- I have heard from a colleague that this is NOT a supportive space and results in a lot of push back and burnout. (9/1)
- Will you say more about how it is not a supportive space (i.e. of people? of research? etc.)? (9/4)
- I would also love to hear more if you're willing to share. I had heard good things about the culture as well (9/6).
- As a current PhD candidate at Mizzou, I've never felt any sort of pushback from my own feminist research with gender and sexual identity/inequities. I've known a lot of the faculty here at Mizzou for a while and worked with multiple of them. They have not been anything but supportive to me, and I would even say there's an aspect of camaraderie throughout my PhD career (9/11).
- I also agree, as a former PhD student at Mizzou, I found the faculty to be supportive of me even if our research areas did not align.
- To OP, I would like to add that the Director and the ADR are very supportive of junior faculty (well, faculty in general) and always make time to address any issues they may have. However, this also means that faculty may need to be proactive on their end, which may not suit everyone’s preferences or comfort level (e.g., cultural context). As the University is focusing on promoting research productivity, the College and the School are building research infrastructure comparable to other more resourceful institutions (e.g., pre and post award support and grant writing support) that helps faculty build up their research portfolio and pursue external funding. Mizzou does have its own challenges, but my understanding and experience is that those challenges may not be unique to Mizzou.
Can someone clarify Bryn Mawr position? The application portal is only for Assistant, but the listing on this page states Open Rank. Thank you! (8/11)
- Maybe the person who posted it here has different info, but the listing on CSWE and HigherEdJobs is only for an Assistant (like the portal link).
Why is this year's jobs list not alphabetic? Would people be opposed to me reorganizing it in alphabetical order? To me this ordering is gonna get confusing as time goes on.
- I just rearranged everything in alphabetical order, and reformatted to match last year's page. I also removed one 2023 job. -5120j (wiki moderator)
- Amazing! thank you. I also see the heading 4 got removed which was nice. I like being able to see the list of jobs in the table of contents. Appreciate your work on this/everything!
I may be off on timing here - but it seems like this year there is a large deficit of TT positions. Are schools waiting longer to post?
- I don't know for sure why this is, but last year it was the same. I think part of that was that SW schools did not follow the normal pattern for job posting seasons (a larger group of late August postings with a early Oct. deadlines and a smaller second wave of postings in early Jan) and part of that is enrollment has been declining at a lot of schools (even highly ranked ones). Sooooo, best of luck to you and to me I guess? :S Anyone else have thoughts? (9/8)
- I was also monitoring last year and have noticed the same trend. There also seem to be a number of schools that had failed searches last year (9/10)
- It seems like some more postings are coming out. But yes, there’s a lot of mergers and restructuring happening at different schools which is code in academia for layoffs that are about to happen. The most at risk schools seem to be those without a strong brand located in smaller cities in the Northeast and the Midwest where the so called demographic cliff is accelerating. (10/07)

I am disappointed that many social work schools and departments are not recognizing the antisemitism that's happening since Hamas invaded Israel. I am anticipating that my identity as a Jewish American will be called into question. (10/15)

Has anyone heard from the University of Vermont? - I think they said they would start reviewing applications in November, which is rather vague. (11/18)
- I saw the update above, but as we are getting into mid-December, has anyone heard from Vermont? Wondering if they will push screeners to January?
- Got an email from Vermont on 12/15 acknowledging receipt of my application, but no timeline information, will update if I hear anything (and would appreciate updates if anyone else hears about a timeline (12/16)
- they just posted on CSWE jobs again this past week (12/17)
- Any word from UVM since the email mid-December? (1/17)

http://albany.interviewexchange.com/candapply.jsp?JOBID=156550

NOTE (7/20/23) Started reviewing apps in January 2023, but this appears to be active. Last year was a failed search and this is a continuation. This search was successful and the position is no longer available. (08/18/2023) The person selected for the AI position began their appointment on 8/1. (08/21/2023) However, it seems the school hired the person as ‘Lecturer’ and not ‘Assistant Professor’ in a tenure-track position as advertised. (08/22/2023) We are confident this and other new hires will enter into tenure-track position once the process is approved. (9/20) I'm not sure where you are being informed, but the person that started this appointment for the AI position is an Assistant Professor and his appointment began 8/1. UAlbany's SSW does not have any active positions open. It's best to remove this posting as it is not an active search. (9/24) The link has expired, and the position has been filled. The candidate was selected in Spring 2023 for the role of lecturer as they have not yet submitted their dissertation. Once the individual has earned their Ph.D., the role will transition to a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor.

NOTE (8/03/23) From last year’s wiki: 1) Albany has a $15 million deficit, 2) the social work department has cycled through 4 deans in the last decade, the last one stepping down for ‘personal reasons,’ 3) the office of the Associate Dean for Research was eliminated in 2021, and 4) a planned merger with Public Health, with the 'School' becoming a 'Department,' the 'Dean' becoming 'Director,' and all current 'Directors' becoming 'Chairs.' This is due to declining enrollment of students (e.g. a loss of 1 in 5 students failing their field placement in 2023), declining rate of publications and grant activities among faculty, and on-going consolidation efforts at the university.

(8/18/23) the anticipated merger (that has yet to be finalized) does not change the School of Social Welfare to a department. If confirmed, there may be a Dean of the new college formed with the various schools being combined into that college, but schools will remain intact. (09/07/23) Formal announcement of merger between Social Welfare and Public Health along with the newly created Nursing department was made to the alumni community on 09/01/2023. (11/12/23) I’m not sure where you’re being informed, but the announcement that was made by the university president explicitly stated that it is not a merger. It is a creation of a new college that will house the different programs under one roof with a new Dean to oversee these programs, while preserving limited administrative resources and be nimble to emerging enrollment trends due to changing demographics. It is not a merger, and an external consultant will work with the interim deans of the various schools in the restructuring process before they step down from their deanships after the new college is created. (12/22/23) I am a doctoral student and adjunct instructor at the school, and it's bad. People are talking about layoffs and curricular changes because it was decided that social welfare will be under public health. The interim dean is nowhere to be seen and faculty/staff are looking a way out. What's the worst is how this is impacting PhD students graduating from the program who are looking for TT jobs.

(01/25/24) I had no idea about the drama at this school other than what I heard from some folks, and thought it was just rumors. That was until I attended SSWR this year. The Interim Dean was getting seriously sloshed at the conference hotel bar and complaining to anyone within earshot about how much of a mess they are in, and how the faculty are fighting amongst themselves about the upcoming merger. It was really embarrassing because she started slurring her words and getting really loud in front of everyone, and how horrible it was that she won’t get to be Dean anymore. I didn’t even know who she was until someone I was with told me. I feel bad for my acquaintances who are doctoral students there.

(02/01/2024) I don't know where you are informed but clearly this negative portrayal of the social welfare school is personally motivated. Yes, we are going through a merger but someone is trying to air out our dirty laundry in a biased way. Not sure if it's someone like a former student who was disciplined or let go but this is really toxic and this posting and last year's posting should be removed.
