[From the end of the world]

To be clear, this is equivalent to an Assistant Professor tenure track position in the US. The teaching load is a 2-1 with travel support for 2 international conferences per year. Also, every third year, you would be eligible for a sabbatical semester - EVERY THIRD YEAR!!

So, is anyone out there applying for this? What are the pros/cons?

[HM]

Hi,

Im an ABD in Sociology in a R1 department in the US West coast. Ive applied to both the lecturer positions at Melbourne. The deadline was January 6. I have no idea about what is going on with my applications. Does anyone know anything?

[Be patient]

Dear HM,
It is barely 10 days after the initial application deadline. You need to chill out. Move the application materials into your "done" folder and move on to putting together your next set of applications. However, as a general rule, do make sure you've copied all the materials into that folder or evernote or whatever you're using, because the job descriptions typically vanish from online after the submission date and you'll want to refer to those if you do get an application.

[Be patient]

er, "interview"

Got my rejections (to both positions) on Jan 21.

Cris - can I ask what your CV looked like, in broad terms?

Quite curious about how Australian institutions rank/evaluate candidates.

Anyone else apply? Interviews?
