SUNY Albany (crim)

[job seeker]

May I ask for an update about the scheduled in-person interviews with SUNY albany (Crim) job?

I know there are just requesting reference letters, but someone has posted their actually setting up interviews. It seems odd that there scheduling in person interviews and requesting references letters at the same time...

Any input?

I received a request for letters at the end of September and haven't heard a thing since. That doesn't add much, but I'm also interested in any updated info someone might be able to supply.

[interviews]

Yes, they have been/are conducting in person interviews already

I know someone who has already interviewed there. This doesn't necessarily mean that they are done with their process, but it could mean that they identified top candidates for whom they anticipate competing with other Top 10 departments and want to get those people in as soon as is possible. It wouldn't be an odd thing for them to continue the search regardless, because those candidates are attractive to other places and there is no guarantee that they come away with one of these people, although they obviously stand a good chance.

[update]

I heard that they've already hired someone (i.e., our SC was told "X" should be taken off our list because they had accepted an offer at SUNY-Albany). Can anyone with first-hand knowledge confirm?

[game day]

It's true.

I believe they hired multiple people, actually...

I heard they hired as well, but it was secondhand so I don't have a firm confirmation.

[yes]

I can confirm that Albany has, indeed, hired at least one candidate.
