i believe it was last year they interviewed in April ( :o ), and they ended up not hiring anyone (it was, i think, a gender position, not culture)
dont know about number of applications though. But my guess is that it'll be considerably less than an equivalent top-20 in the US

Generally, Toronto receives between 250-400 applications for sociology positions. When there isn't a successful hire, it usually means that the dean or provost has decided that the department's selection "isn't good enough."

There is so much misinformation...
But anyway, there were almost 200 applications. The shortlist will be created tomorrow, and invitations will be made within a day or two (they require approval from the Dean first).

Wait, what? Make a short list and then decide upon interviews within 2-3 days? That seems a little quick

Maybe they already made a ranked long list.

It seems weird indeed.
So, we don't know if it is reliable information or not. But that's the fate of this board. Would the above poster care to say how s/he got the info?
If not, we'll find out in a couple of days, peppered with extra anxiety.
Great! Just what I needed.

Sorry for the ambiguous terminology.
The list of interviewees has been created. After approval, which will probably take until Thursday, or maybe even Friday, the interviewees will be contacted and have their interviews scheduled.

The Dean is still in the process of approving the list. I have no idea why it's taking so long. Candidates will be contacted as soon as the approval has come through.
