*new* [2006-04-02]
Fellowship rumors have been split off into a separate
IR
Fellowship Rumors Fall 2006 post.
*new* [2006-03-30]
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.
[2006-03-06] Please restrict postings here to information on
interviews, offers, and acceptances (or queries for information) from
public sources of information. (i.e., you should ask before
posting
something you heard over beer from someone at ISA). For general
discussions of the job market, including salaries, please use the
IR
Job Market Discussion post. For discussions as to the merits (or
lack thereof) of this blog, please use the
IR
Rumor Mill Discussion thread.
[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],
[February
07-March 05], and
[March
06-April 02], 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).
[2005-12-03] 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.
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 has
occurred.

[2006-02-10 Moved from University of Oklahoma post]
Miller and 2 others. Interviews are still underway
Yong Wook Lee (USC via Brown) has accepted.
[2006-03-27 Moved from Indiana University, Bloomington post]
Job is filled by Brian Rathbun, Ph.D. from Berkeley, but who has been teaching at McGill
Just by way of filling in the holes in the chart, I know Cal State Northridge did interviews in the fall and made an offer immediately afterwards to someone who wasn't me.
Fellowship rumors have been split off into a separate IR Fellowship Rumors Fall 2006 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

For discussions as to the merits (or lack thereof) of this blog, please use the IR Rumor Mill Discussion thread.
Who got the UCLA postdoc?
The fellowship rumors posting, which doesn't appear to allow comments, is not accurate. Some sent rejections before sending out out offers, which have not yet been made. you might consider that before you close the ability to post rumors, whoever you are mister webmaster sir.
re Providence College, 1st offer was made to Ruth Ben-Artzi (Columbia PHD) who did not immidiately accept. 2nd candidate rejected the offer, and Ben-Artzi then accepted.
Any news on the UMich Development PE position or the UCLA South Asia position?
re: Seton Hall's Global Terrorism position...
An offer has been made and turned down by at least two people.
Aysegul Aydin is the Binghamton Ph.D. who took the second Colorado job.
Mike Boyle (Belfer) was offered the Global Terrorism job at Seton Hall but turned it down to take a job at St. Andrews in the UK.
I know Cal State Chico did interviews in January. Do you know who got the job?
Has Univ of Illinois (Springfield) made any decisions?
University of Oklahoma clarifications
Terrorism: G. Miller (OSU via WM)
Japan: Y. Lee (USC via Brown)
China: Offer rejected, search closed.
Also R. Lucas (comparative - Middle East) moving to Florida International U.
Who got the UCLA IR job?
Any word on U of Toronto or Cal Tech?
If by Toronto you mean the IR search for the St George campus, I heard that the search was closed without a hire.
Southern Illinois made an offer, which was rejected.
The Graduate School of International Relations and Pacific Studies (IR/PS) (http://www-irps.ucsd.edu/) at the University of California, San Diego, is seeking temporary lecturers beginning fall quarter 2006. Candidates should have outstanding teaching qualifications. Ph.D. is preferred, but not required. Positions may be full or part-time, for one quarter to a year, with possibility of extension.
We are interested in individuals whose areas of expertise include the fields of public policy, energy and environmental policy, international security policy (including homeland and biological security), international negotiations.
Please send CV and three letters of reference under separate cover to:
Recruitment Chair
c/o Ms. Linda Thai,
IR/PS-UCSD
9500 Gilman Drive
La Jolla, CA 92093-0519
Review of applications will begin on May 1, 2006 and will continue until positions are filled. UCSD is an EO/AA employer committed to excellence through diversity.
Seton Hall's offer keeps getting turned down because of a very low salary offer with no flexibility to compete with other schools.
I received a rejection letter today from Northern Illinois University. They filled their International Relations/Political Theory position.
Laura Sjoberg (USC PhD/BC Law JD/Belfer PostDoc) has accepted a position as Visiting Assistant Professor at Duke University for 2006-2007, and a tenure-track position at Virginia Tech following that.
Congratulations, Laura!
Anyone heard from Michigan?
What happened with UCLA's IR search?
Shut down without a hire.
Assuming "shut down without a hire" refers to the UCLA IR search, did they make an offer at all? As far as I remember, they had invited couple of people to interview, including Tonya Putnam. Did they offer the job to Putnam but she accepted Columbia's?
DePauw has suspended its search and will repost the position next year.
Anyone heard from American U (CIS)?
Didn't UCLA make an offer to Robert Trager?
I heard (second-hand) that both UCLA and Michigan made offers to Robert Trager. Can anyone confirm?
The UCLA and Michigan offers to Trager are true.
I heard he turned down UMich for UCLA. Interesting choice.
Rumors are circulating that the Univesity of Nevada, Reno job has been taken by someone at SUNY-Binghamton.
RE: Rumors are circulating that the Univesity of Nevada, Reno job has been taken by someone at SUNY-Binghamton.
As a grad student and job candidate at SUNY Binghamton--this is a most interesting rumor since both SUNY Binghamton IR Job candidates have been placed --one at UColorado-Boulder and the other at L'Universite Laval. Maybe I'll take two jobs next year. Congrats to the faculty at SUNY Binghamton for a 100% placement rate.
Any news regarding Seton Hall IR?
Cristina Bodea (Rochester Ph. D./Princeton) accepted Michigan State's offer.
It seems that the job at Reno wasn't taken by a grad student at Binghamton, but by a faculty member.
:) if the above is true, seems like SUNY-Binghamton has a good placement rate for both its grad students and its faculty members...
The motivation to leave runs high there.
re the previous post, I guess you may be right. I just did not want to put it in such harsh terms.
Re: SUNY Binghamton
To be clear this faculty member who is leaving for UNevada-Reno is a Binghamton PhD (1999) who has taught at Binghamton for the last several years.
For other faculty members that have arrived and left in the 5 years I have been here--nearly all of those members left because of spousal issues (spouse could not find work in Binghamton or spouse/faculty forced to commute from too far away or spouse did not like NY winters).
The fact that good scholars like McDonald, Cinganelli, and Regan have been around for many years is testament to the Binghamton dept. Moreover, I know that some junior facutly members have been offered positions elsewhere, arguably at 'better' schools, but still chose to stay suggests that there is a good dynamic going on.
There are a number of competitions not noted here ... for example, Univ of Alaska had a tenure-track IR position open to March 15 ... anyone know a) why it wasn't listed? and b) who won (or is in running)?
Bob Ostergard is leaving Binghamton?
Does anyone know if Slantchev is leaving UCSD for Dartmouth or NYU?
Bob is leaving Binghamton.
Does anyone know if Tarar is leaving Texas A&M for Chicago?
I heard Tarar is staying at A&M; the counter-offer must have been nuclear to beat Chicago.
Does anyone know of any departments that will be hiring next year?
Or, Tarar prefers Texas steak to Chicago pizza. Let's stop speculating.
Slantchev is staying at UCSD. Must prefer San Diego surfing to Hanover skiing or NYC opera... Oops, speculation alert!
Well, after denying tenure to Drezner and others, who would want to be at Chicago as an Assistant Professor?
How do you know that Slantchev is staying at UCSD? Is that from a reliable source?
I understand that the offer to Tarar from A&M was with tenure; I assume Chicago's was not.
Will Walldorf (PhD UVa via Gordon College and Dartmouth) has accepted the IR position at Auburn.
Question:
Say a top 10-12 Political Science department wanted to hire a Senior (Full or Associate) IR person who was movable. Substantive focus is open, but it is preferable (though not a must) if the person in question is strong in either formal or quantitative.
Which names would come to mind? (Would have to be in principle moveable)
Senior or Semi-senior people who have quant or formal -- top o the field from the top o my head...

"Which names would come to mind?"
At the risk of sounding a killjoy, this doesn't really seem to fit within this list's remit...
Someone asked which schools are probably running searches next year. I've heard that the Naval Postgraduate School (Monterey) didn't hire in Middle East this year, so will be looking for a person next year(at the point when I heard this, not sure if it was going to be lecturer or TT), and that in addition they are going to have several searches in IR/security/China/Northeast Asia and perhaps Homeland Defense and Security.
Vanderbilt will be hiring in IR (probably senior)
UCLA will probably be hiring in IR next year.
Methods job in IRELAND (nice salary!):
http://www.jobs.ac.uk/jobfiles/
QB276.html
Letter arrived today, UN-Reno closed its search for the year.
"Which names would come to mind?"
Not another attempt to killjoy but this is just trying to retrieve insider information about the people who are not happy with their position and looking for something better. Nice try but honestly I do not think this fits into the soul of what this site is trying to do.
"this is just trying to retrieve insider information about the people who are not happy with their position and looking for something better."
Well, if the above is the case, I see no harm at all... Pareto improvements anyone?
"Which names would come to mind?"
Well, for formal IR, there are very few people out there.
At the senior level, there is Powell, Fearon, Ken Schultz, Alastair Smith, Morrow
At the advanced junior level, there is Sartori (Princeton), Slantchev (UCSD), Tarar (Texas A&M)...Can't think of anyone else off the top of my head
who among these are moveable?
Andy Kydd at the senior level and moveable
This blog has begun to read very much "Cosmopolitan" or "People" magazine, only our subjects are not as pretty as Brad Pit et al.
Rumors about jobs available are great, bizarre speculation is not.
I agree with anon 1:27. This blog is really a double edged sword. Information about jobs that are available/filling/filled is great, especially when this information is unavailable from the department involved. Rumors and gossip, on the other hand, can be destructive. In this case, the names being bandied about (along with the speculation about whether these people are happy in their institution or not) doesn't, as far as I can tell, even pertain to an actual opening. Put yourself in the position of those being talked about and ask yourself if you'd want to be the focus of such a discussion. If not, you should probably not be posting.
I guess I am missing the point about how this might be damaging to the people listed. Commenters are offering standard lists of big names in the field who do quantitative or formal IR. (Short lists by the way). The questioner asked who might be available to move to a top 10 university. Nobody posting here has any idea who wants to move or who could move, so they list the best people they can think of. I can't imagine how being listed could hurt you. Please explain.
Perhaps the initial poster really is on a search committee looking for a long list of people to contact about a position. Come to think about it, if I were on such a committee, I'd probably do the same thing. Of course, that is not all you would do, but it can't hurt. Again, I don't see how anybody is hurt here.
I posted that list of formal IR people, forgot to include Kydd, he definitely belongs on that list.
This isn't a recruitment web site. It was conceived to provide information where it is hard to come by--what jobs have been filled and when... by whom was ruled out by some or most because it led to too much information that may be detrimental to the job seeker in question. I don't see any room for fishing expeditions. That it may not hurt is irrelevant, it hijacks the conversation for ill-suited purposes.
What's next:
"Tired of you dead-end job ... committees got you down..." OR "Make your prestige 200% bigger"
Is Fearon really "moveable"?
"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."
"Participants are reminded that the unit of analysis here is the job (or the job-year), and not the individual job-seeker or department..."
OK. I rephrase then...
UCLA, Umich and Vanderbilt will have IR searches next year (Advanced Assistant, Associate or Full).
Who do you think will be the main contenders for these slots?
Add Duke to that list (not sure about rank).
Kydd is moveable--and has already moved-to Penn w/ tenure.
What do you folks not get about discussing particular people, rather than the jobs themselves?
Georgetown's School of Foreign Service will be hiring for two tenured or tenure-track positions in security studies next year. Open to rank, but I believe they're looking for one jr and one sr.
Duke will be hiring in IR (Associate or Full).
Duke will probably try to replace Keohane? It'll be interesting to see what kind of strategy they pursue.
Does anyone know what happened with UNLV's search?
I think UNLV went unfilled.
