This department is so messed up. A friend of mine had an interview for one of the positions last year and was not notified that s/he was not getting the offer until about seven months later (well after the new semester had already began and s/he had accepted a position somewhere else). Obviously s/he knew s/he was not getting the offer, but the department chair never even contacted her/him until s/he informed another faculty member in the department that s/he had never been contacted. The dept. chair is a mess!

I did on campus interviews with two departments this year and was not told anything either way. Found out on here that someone else was hired. UConn may be messed up, but this lack of professionalism seems endemic to our discipline.

An insider in the department confirmed for me that the interview-schedule has been made as of the end of last week. If you haven't been contacted, no reason to hope, you're likely not on the list. Best of luck in the future, everyone.

Thanks for the update. I have no hope, but still think it's odd that no one with an interview has posted to this board.

Why is that odd? A very small percentage of people on the market are actually on this board.

Update: you said interviews have been scheduled. Are these phone interviews or on-campus job talks/interviews?

My source inside the dept only said interviews had been scheduled, and that interview schedule had gone out to department faculty. Whether they are phone interviews or job talks I can't say. I just know I'm not one of them.  |

Based on previous information provided about 1 week ago, I'd bet they'll be doing interviews/job talks throughout this month and early on into May. Perhaps an offer made in late May? Factoring in negotiations and this process won't be done well into June if not later. That's my bet.

A colleague in my department has a campus interview coming up shortly. We aren't close, so I don't have more info than that.

Why is that odd? A very small percentage of people on the market are actually on this board. Not to totally derail the conversation, but I don't know anyone who has gone up for an academic sociology job who hasn't checked this board periodically. But granted, it's mostly the offseason right now. |
