[2006-03-06] Please restrict postings here to information on
interviews, offers, and
acceptances (or queries for information). For general discussions of
the job market, including salaries, please use the
IR Job Market Discussion post (see
sidebar). For discussions as to the merits (or lack thereof) of this
blog, please use the
IR Rumor Mill
Discussion (see sidebar) thread.
[2006-03-06] Participants
are requested not to post rumors regarding how and why individual
candidates or departments have made decisions, especially containing
personal information; if you wish to discuss these matters, the
IR Discussions
blog may be a better place.
[2006-02-06] To
prevent too many
comments from building up, periodically a new post that summarizes all
the
comments will be placed at the top of the blog; to view old comments,
see the posts from
[October
16-November 17], [November
18-December 17],
[December
18-February 06], and
[February
07-March 05], which contain old
comments.
[2006-01-28] Additional rumor mills have been independently
started, for
American
and Comparative Politics as well as
Political Theory
and Public Law. Cross-posting of CP information is probably a good
idea, since a significant fraction of CP and IR jobs overlap (unlike CP
and AP or IR and AP).
[2005-12-17] New
column added to list whether a job has been filled (and by whom if the
information exists).
[2005-12-03] An
increasing number
of Comparative Politics posts are being made. While only posts that
refer to jobs in the
IR
Job List Fall 2006 will be added to the master table below,
contributors should feel free to post information about CP jobs, since
there is substantial overlap.
[2005-11-20] To prevent comments being
lost, please post all rumors here rather than on the individual rumor
postings. Comments have been turned
off on these postings.
[2005-11-20] Please use discretion when
posting rumors of offers or acceptances; if
possible, only post an offer if it is public knowledge.
Got a rumor on which school have invited candidates to interviews or
have sent out job offers?
Post
a comment here. Names of candidates are not necessary, but can be
useful.
Please include some information on the source of your knowledge that
will allow others to evaluate your information. Are you a member of the
department interviewing? A friend or colleague of a candidate? Please
be as specific in your information and sources as possible (while
maintaining anonymity if you wish).
Want to see a list of jobs?
See the IR
Job List Fall 2006 entry.
Note: The Institution links will take you to the original job
posting; the Rumors link will take you to the rumor posting. If there
is a link but no date in the Rumors column, no
substantive information (e.g., a list of interviewees) has been
received;
dates are updated when new rumors appear. The table is sorted from most
recent to oldest rumor.
[C] appears next to dates when additional posts appear to
confirm an initial rumor of interviews. If you have independent
confirmation of interviews being conducted at a university that does
not have a [C] or a list of candidates, please
post a comment. A [?] appears if information disputing a rumor of
interviews has occurred.

[Moved from Bowdoin College job listing]
[2006-03-02] The position was accepted by the current visitor Shelley Deane
[Moved from Auburn University job listing]
[2006-02-06] Auburn has offered the job to someone. Rejection letters have been sent out.
[Moved from John Carroll University job listing]
[2006-01-11] i heard that budget problems forced them to cancel this search
[Moved from University of Oklahoma (Asia) job listing]
[2006-02-10] Offer made, rejected, search closed.
[Moved from IR Rumor Mill Discussion post]
[2006-03-02] so Utah had to go back to the pool after december interviews to get their hire for IR.
[2006-03-04] I thought that Adam Luedtke (U Washington) took that job?
Princeton CGG rejection e-mails have been sent.
The post about Bodea at Michigan State is premature. She is considering at least two offers.
UColorado-Boulder is making an offer to another junior candidate from its second set of interviews.
Middlebury sent out letters: They had invited four people to interview but ended up not hiring anyone. They will be posting again next year.
Anyone know what's going on with Providence College?
Providence College made an offer but the candidate rejected
Any news on post-docs (besides Princeton's CGG)?
Duke made offers for its 2 IR post-docs. At least one has been accepted.
Who got Duke's post-docs?
Who is getting the offer from Colorado?
I heard (although not first hand) that UC-Boulder's offer is going to someone from SUNY-Binghamton
Any news on the junior position at UMass-Amherst?
Anybody had word Olin or Yale's OCV?
UMass had candidates out to interview about a month ago, and they made an offer - no news about acceptance.
Dartmouth extended three additional IR offers: Jennifer Lind, Branislav Slanchev, and Darryl Press
Wow, THREE offers! And one of them to Slantchev! Why would he leave UCSD for Darmtmouth though?
Steven Watts from Cornell has accepted the junior, tenure-track position at UMass.
where else does Slanchev have offers?
Why this obsession with Slantchev and his offers or lack of offers thereof?
Press is the big deal in the Dartmouth situation; he's probably the best junior "hard security" person out there. Lind is his wife, so they're trying to make it a package deal.
If true, Press and Lind are also the strange part about that Dartmouth rumor. For those of you unfamiliar, Press *left* Dartmouth last year to go to Penn because (from what I understand) they wouldn't make an offer to his wife. Not sure what could have changed so dramatically in one year. Never underestimate the inefficiencies of the academic job market. . .
Who care. Tell us more about Slantchev.
I heard Dartmouth gave up all their draft picks in 2007 for him. Slantchev is clearly a blue chipper who really wowed at the combine.
--Mel Kiper
Come on, folks. Leave Slanchev alone for a change. Let's talk about me! ME
ME ME
RE: March 9, 9:28AM
Ever read Exit, Voice, and Loyalty?
Slantchev had great time in the 40 and had a top score on his Wonderlich test. He has the explosiveness and power to be a franchise player.
But one Committee who studied his game film remains unimpressed--his great workouts didn't seem to translate into points on the field.
UCSD got a good haul of draft picks in this deal and will improve the team by surrounding starter Phillip Rivers with some young talent.
Actually, I heard that he flubbed the Wonderlich the first time he took it.
I heard that one of the 'superstars' on the IR market this year scored a 6 on the Wonderlic. Although the person gave a fantastic job talk in early January (outperforming two other candidates from a UC school), a score that like makes you wonder about their ability to continue to produce in a more complex system. Seems risky, to me.
I heard that Slantchev is on steroids. With the ISA starting to crack down with random testing at the annual meeting, he's going to have to lay low on the juice for a while. I wonder how that will affect his work. Suspicious eyes have also been cast at Schultz, Koremenos, and Baum. Seems that there was a southern cal ring in operation for the last 5 years. Makes you wonder how this young crop of IR scholars is going to be viewed in 20 years…
Upon reading this blog, I've come to realize (confirm, rather) that I am SO happy I don't do IR!
RE: the 12:02 PM, March 09, 2006 post:
An American Politics person without a sense of humor or appreciation of strategy? I can't believe it!
"A __________ person without a sense of humor or appreciation of strategy".
Thought the appropriate answer was "Political Theorist".
Is CISAC or BCIAS the next BALCO?
Re: 12:02 comment, this begs the question "if one did not do IR would one do another type of political science or something else entirely". the answer may say something about the division in the field-- i.e. policy vs. science approaches.
On pre/post docs, to the best of my (relatively well sourced) knowledge, Olin, Belfer, Cisac, and Yale have not contacted successful applicants yet. Olin is expected to do so next week and cisac in a couple of weeks. Belfer normally doesn't happen till well into April. No idea on when Yale is likely.
re : 12:09
I'm a Americanist and I wrote one of the sports-related posts.
so there...
what about Mershon (Ohio St.) fellowships? when are they typically announced?
Anyone know who filled the IR post at Trinity in Conn?
Postdocs that have been filled:
CGG
Oxford
Duke
Re 3:32pm: are you sure about the Oxford one?
There are multiple Oxford post-docs. The methods one was filled a long time ago. The PRFs were filled too. But I doubt the ones with Lincoln College have yet been filled.
Any word on who filled the Duke post-docs?
Has anyone heard anything about Sweet Briar or the position at the Alexandria campus that Virginia Tech advertised?
The Magdalen College (Oxford) post-doc hasn't been filled yet, but some candidates have been invited for interviews.
Who's interviewing at Magdalen College? Who's interviewing at Lincoln College? Who at Baillol?
Any news on the UBC searches?
Any news on Reno?
What's going on at UCLA?
Any news about DePauw or Northern Illinois University?
Any news about DePauw or Northern Illinois University?
4:19 PM, March 12, 2006
[Re] I heard NIU invited three candidates during last few weeks.
I received a rejection letter from Northern Illinois dated 2/22 saying they hired Y.K. Wang a 2001 Chicago PhD who is at Brookings now. It was kind of unusual in that they specified who was hired, but interesting to know nonetheless.
Thanks for the scoop on Northern Illinois. I have not received my letter from them. It is interesting that they named their hire.
Anyone know when Mershon Fellowships (Ohio) are typically announced?
Re March 11 8:55pm. What UBC searches?
Ray Duch is leaving Houston to take a job at Nuffield College (Oxford)
UCLA Global Fellows postdoc rejection e-mails out
Dan Morey (Iowa) has accepted a job with the University of Kentucky.
http://myweb.uiowa.edu/dmorey/
Great hire for Kentucky. At the risk of generating a flurry of Kentucky posts, rumors of Kentucky's demise have (apparently) been greatly exaggerated!
FYI, there are still tenure track jobs that have been posted in the last month or so for those who are looking: Eckerd (Fla), Alaska-Fairbanks, Saginaw Valley State and Towson (Baltimore).
Sort of a random quesion, why is the cost of living so high in Fairbanks, Alaska? CNN/Money posted a list of the most expensive US citites and Fairbanks is higher(more expensive) than Chicago, Philadelphia, and Seattle. Based on a "moderately affluent lifestyle", you would need about 167K in Manhattan, 116K in DC area, and 104K in Fairbanks (Chicago is 103K). The full list is at
http://money.cnn.com/2006/03/14/pf/couple_cities_coli/index.htm
I'm no economist, but I assume Fairbanks is expensive b/c of the costs of transporting goods there and the cost of home heating. Also, since Alaska is pretty sparse for population, the labor cost that goes into locally produced goods (homes, etc.) and services may be high. Any Wal-Marts there may actually have to pay a decent wage.
anyone know if olin offers have been made
Re: Fairbanks
Do not forget to factor in the oil dividend if you are serious about trying to figure out if you can make it financially in Alaska. Each year every qualified (lived in Alaska for at least one year) citizen gets a check from the state that shares the oil revenue. In past years it has ranged from $800 to aomost $2000. So do the math, if you have a wife and a kid, $2400- almost $6000 to supplement your salary. Combine that with no state income tax and the sticker shock is ameliorated a bit.
Wow. Go People's Republic of Alaska!
So does GSU continue its search? I know of at least one good person that could use a job :)
Dartmouth just hired Jennifer Lind and Darryl Press.
I heard this from a current grad student at Penn, who heard this directly from Press, so it's not just a rumor.
Dartmouth also still has an offer extended to Slantchev. They now have something like 8 IR people. Didn't they hire Bridget Coggins this year, too??
Any news on the Olin Post-Docs?
Princeton (PIIRS) fellowships have been offered. According to GWU's poli sci website, one has been offered to Injoo-Sohn.
Anyone in the know about University of Rhode Island's search?
I mentioned in this another post but URI had invited 5 candidates. At least one withdrew because they had accepted an offer from somewhere else. The interviews should have been completed by the end of January/first week in February. I am curious about who they hired as well.
Towson University is calling people to set up campus visits/interviews for its International Politics position.
Seton Hall has made an offer to one of the candidates they interviewed for their Global Terrorism position. No idea who got the offer or whether it's been accepted.
About Towson: why on earth do they require of applicants an UNDERgraduate transcript? Many of us are 30+ yrs of age and UG is a distant memory. Is it a screening tool? (i.e., I won't be able to complete my application to Towson unless I am willing to contact my UG institution and pony up the money for an official transcript to be sent to Towson -- so I really must be into Towson if I've bothered to do so?) I know that Towson's not the only school that does this (maybe Shippensburg too? can't recall), but it is rather unusual.
Just got a rejection letter from CSULB - so I suppose that they are interviewing. I already have a job, but I was surprised because that job advertisement may as well have had my name on it. Anyway, there's the info.
At least some were notified of Olin Fellowships....
On the Olin Fellowship, is that a known fact or speculation?
i echo above. please clarify on olin. how solid is that information and were they offers or rejections? Do you have names?
Ditto, do you know someone who received an acceptance or rejection? Don't need names, but a bit more information would be nice.
Known Fact. Offer. Would prefer not to name names.
What news is there about the new Seton Hall searches (Intl law, IO)? Were they waiting until they got bounced from the tourney?
Duke postdocs have been filled, offered and accepted, one in international security and one in IPE. No word on by whom. (News from an official rejection from Duke.)
rejection received from Yale Conflict Order Violence program.
Following up 8:27 re Seton Hall. How many jobs did they have? Was the Terrorism job at Seton Hall filled?
An offer was made by Seton Hall for the terrorism job; don't know if it's been accepted yet.
Re: 5:27 PM, March 04, 2006 (why are UCSD faculty leaving)?
The response was that it's because UCSD is a top department (which it is) but it's not like Slantchev and Gleditsch are being poached by Harvard or Rochester. You have to worry when Dartmouth and Essex steal your faculty and you're a top 10 department.
Didn't Gleditsch have personal reasons for leaving, wanting to be with a spouse? It may not have anything to do with how the Department is being run. Horse-race and knee-capping of Departments certainly can go too far. Oh, the Department must be terrible because a couple of people left. Whatever.
What's amazing is how many good people are at Dartmouth? It's in New Hampshire, 2 1/2 hours from Boston and no grad program!!!!
While the previous poster is correct to recognize that the sky is hardly falling, I think the implication is that UCSD has not made much of an effort to retain top junior faculty and has, on occasion, snubbed them in ways that eliminate good will.
Word on the street is that John Gledhill was recently awarded the Rurai McKenna Fellowship in North Irish Studies. Nicely done, John!
anyone else heard from olin?
reject letter from yale.
no word from olin, belfer, cisac, or mershon. any idea when decisions should be made on these? via email or ground mail?
This is speculation based on previous posts. Olin has offered a post-doc to at least one person ...so it probable that they have have offered acceptances to others (notification can't be time intensive since their are so few). CISAC should be notifying successful applicates this week or next. Belfer sometime in the middle of April. No information on Mershon.
Does anybody know who were the people that received an Olin post-doc?
Is it reasonable to assume that those who haven't heard from Olin aren't getting a fellowship? Do they not send a formal rejection letter?
It is reasonable to assume that those who haven't heard from Olin have been rejected (unless someone doesn't accept an offer). Not sure if they send a letter or an e-mail.

Is it then a fact that Slantchev is leaving UCSD and going to Dartmouth?
Anybody know if Stanford's CDDRL pre/post-docs have been offered yet?
The junior offer from University of Colorado -Boulder was accepted by the candidate from SUNY-Binghamton.
Dartmouth sources say Slantchev is deciding but they are very optimistic.
If the CU Boulder candidate has accepted, can you tell us his/her name?
Any word on the CISAC (Stanford) fellowship?
Any good rumors from those attending ISA? Come on, baby. Give me the juice!
CDDRL's fellowships at Stanford have been awarded.
Is the Stanford CDDRL fellowship that same thing as the CISAC fellowship?
No they are not.
So who got the CDDRL fellowships?

Andrew_Mellon_PostDoc_FpsFINAL.pdf
Anyone out there know of official Olin rejections yet? I am guessing they go out in one bunch after all the slots have been accepted.
olin don't do second rounds so if you haven't heard you haven't got it. i'm almost certain that all the offers are made the same day. Rejection letters usually go out around now.
by the way, the benefit in knowing names for olin is to see if there are any patterns to the offers. for instance, there seems to be a chicago, harvard, and columbia slot most years. if this holds it impacts on what you may think your chances are in the future. i also don't see the downside in an offer being revealed.
This discussion, while important, belongs in the Rumor Mill discussion thread--not here on the job rumors thread. So can we move it over there, please?
Is it too early to ask, who are the hot prospects for next fall?
Regarding the post at 4:14, since few if any people will have a clue as to everyone who will be on the market next year, let alone their relative merits, I propose we just let hiring committees make those evaluations since they will have the most complete information. Moreover, unless evaluaters are identified so that we can attach levels of credibility to the evaluations, I wouldn't put much credence in any predictions here anyway.
Still no word on CISAC?
any word on the oxford post-doc?
WHICH Oxford Postdoc?
The 4-year IR one (announced together w/ similar in comparative and theory) of which someone posted a few weeks ago that people have been invited for interviews but i don't remember this being confirmed and no one said anything of the result of the interviews, if such have been conducted already.
Here's a rumor from ISA: Phillip Lipscy of Harvard has offers from Stanford and Yale.
Chicago's made a new IR junior offer.
Is it public information who got the Chicago offer?

RE: Chicago's made a new IR junior offer.
What does it mean by a *NEW* offer? Does it mean Ahmer Tarar declined the Chicago offer?
RE: 10:26 AM, March 24, 2006
"If the CU Boulder candidate has accepted, can you tell us his/her name?"
While I am uncomfortable giving a name without this person's consent--A little detective work and you can figure it out on your own. SUNY Binghamton has two IR candidates on the job market (both have now been placed) and one of the candidate's has her placement listed on her homepage.
What does it mean by a *NEW* offer? Does it mean Ahmer Tarar declined the Chicago offer?
as far as i know it just means that tarar's offer has only now really become an offer (admin approval etc). before there was a vote, not an offer.
Any news on the Mershon and CISAC post-docs?

the job market, including salaries, please use the IR Job Market Discussion post.
Participants are reminded that the unit of analysis here is the job (or the job-year), and not the individual job-seeker or department. Please do not post rumors regarding how and why individual candidates or departments have made decisions, especially containing personal information; if you wish to discuss these matters, the IR Discussions blog may be a better place.
