so bummed, this was pretty much a dream job and i thought the fit was tremendous. i know they're losing a demographer so perhaps they're looking for quantitative folks.

I know, but I mean this in all intended friendliness: you have to stop thinking any job is the right job. The rejections become absolutely soul crushing, and in this market we need to stay as optimistic as possible. If you think the job is perfect for you, 50-300 other candidates think it is perfect for them. Let the committees decide which job is perfect for you.

... unless you went to Princeton, Harvard, Berkeley, Oxford, or Cambridge ... in that case you could send the committee a stool sample with an ivy league stamp on it and they would hang it on your office door when you're hired.

[Actually]

Actually, they are only interviewing ethnographers. Going in a completely different direction than the faculty member who is leaving.
