We haven't updated the summary board in a long time. As many of you know, there is an unmoderated wiki listing comparable information. We've been able to confirm most of the information there, and we've been letting posts on hiring and interviews go through that has information we've confirmed.
So here's the question: how much do people care if we update the "big board"? Also, should we create a new board for post- and pre-docs?
So far, we can only confirm that Belfer, Nuffield College, and Princeton Institute for International and Regional Security have made offers. We believe Brookings has as well.

With the recent survey done by the TRIP project, I think it would be interesting to eventually analyze the trends in the hiring process within the discipline of IR. An updated, accurate and (almost) complete big board would then be very useful to compare these trends. I would then recommend that the big board be updated and that an archive of the hiring process should eventually be compiled and made accessible to the community for future study.
I for one would like the table update.
Also, other postdocs have been announced as well. I.e. CGG and CSDP at Princeton.
Would you please post the link to the wiki for those of us who do not know?
2 separate boards are better - one for jobs, one for pre- and post-docs.
Any rumors on the two London School of Economics jobs (IR and IPE)?
A pre-doc board would be useful for all us newbies. Thanks.
I agree. I separate board for fellowships would be useful.
"Princeton Institute for International and Regional Security" should read "Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies" They have an international security fellowship and a Middle East fellowship. Assuming it's the former, do you have any more info on it, there's nothing in the fellowship thread or the wiki.
please post the wiki link... also, who is in charge of updating it? Merci!

And being a wiki, everyone is in charge of updating it...
So, then, to the WebMister/ress (great job BTW), is the Princeton PIIRS offer confirmation from another source? (Other than the wiki or what is posted on the fellowship thread.)
Thanks :-). We know about the PIIRS from a reliable source, although we only have confirmation on international security.
6:48. There's a study (forthcoming in PS) on these dynamics in political science:

To 2.36: Thanx!
A Question to the community: If you have been published (let's say in a top tier IR journal, such as IS or Security Studies, usual suspects) and presented at conferences (APSA, ISA, etc.), (1) will this help you attain a pre-doctoral fellowship and (2) how much will it help you? (3) How much will being published help you with post-docs?
It will help, but won't make you a sure thing by any stretch. I just published in one of those journals and it looks like I didn't get any of the five post-docs I applied to. But that could just be my fit with their programs. If you are what they are looking for it could put you over the top. So go for it, the odds are a bit shorter, but still long.
I posted the 1:24pm posting, and would like to thank 7:57 for his/her response. I have a follow-up for 7:57 as well as the community: who has an easier time- people who do traditional security (guns and bombs, alliances, etc.) or non-traditional approaches to security? Is it somewhere in the middle, or case-by-case basis? Or does it rely entirely on the prestige of your institution and nothing else?
