Northern Illinois has canceled their search. Just got the letter today.

I heard some fun stories about the Oregon State interview process. If an offer is made, hopefully it will be shared.

In other news, what info can we get on some jobs overseas? I am curious about this job in Dubai at Zayed. Any info on it would be welcomed- even info one why it would be a dumb/brilliant idea to work there (and no dumb remarks about it being hot). How can we find out about their shortlist or whatnot? Other overseas jobs also welcome...

Any info on jobs in Georgia -- Georgia College & State University, and Morehouse College?

Anyone know what the status of Florida Internationl's job search is? the last I heard was prior to Christmas, that they'd made up a 'long' short list. Since then, nothing.....

The European position at FIU has been filled--Markus Thiel has accepted the offer.

The security job at Florida International has been closed; the senior hire committee will meet soon; three people are coming in for interviews on the theory job starting after ISA; and the Women's study job has a long short list.

Re @10:32 & Oregon State -- Do tell! That is what the rumor Mill is for!

RE 10:32 poster (that would be me),

Nah, can't pass that kind of info on. Just some info coming from interviewees about the first candidates and how the dean was quite unimpressed and called for another round of interviews. The details are gossip, not useful.

BUT, I would like to know if any information is out there on Wesleyan. Actually, Ohio Wesleyan to be precise (because there's also an Illinois one and one in CT so... yeah, why so many of those?). And what is the Zayed post seeking? Job seems pretty sweet. Any word on hires?

Can anyone confirm that the University of British Columbia has made an offer to Salehyan at UNT? (this rumor is from the Canadian IR Rumor Mill). Has he accepted? Who else interviewed at UBC? I've heard that the Canadian government may be tightening up on work visas? Reverse protectionism? That you might get a job offer but can't necessarily start because you have to wait 6 months to a year to get the visa?

Anonymous said...

he did get the job but turned it down.

As an employee at an CA institution, I have not heard anything about academic protection. Indeed, our dean is almost salivating at the thought of being able to raid the US since the CA economy is not nearly as bad (although it is not good anymore).

I would say that the Canadian economy is definitely "not good anymore" given the recent massive (hidden) budget cuts to core funding of the three federal granting agencies (SSHRC, NSERC, CIHR). I'd say we're falling as fast, or faster, than the US. Obama's proposed education stimulus spending is looking much better right now...

Apologies to the skeptic who posted on Jan 25 expressing doubts that the BU negotiation job is actually tenure track. I do not follow this website closely, or I would have responded sooner. The deadline was Feb 15, but I still feel I should clarify.

Yes, the BU search is indeed tenure track. I'm not sure why the ad doesn't say that, but I can assure you all that it is true. We don't hire non-tenure track assistant professors, and we don't advertise nationally for lecturer positions. BU has already made hires for two political scientist positions (one in the dept of international relations, and one in the dept of political science). If we get the right quality of candidate for the negotiation position, I expect that we will hire for this one as well, although in the current economic climate one has to hedge.

Any truth that Helen Milner has an offer from Stanford?

Anonymous said...

Yes, she does. But she probably won't go. Stanford seems to be rather jittery about money, and Princeton is very very rich.

Anonymous said...

Why? Milner is very serious, and several prospective students and young PhD students may be interested in learning more.

IR Rumor Mill said...

Because we have a question and an answer about a specific individual. So we're not going to allow speculation or other gossip that could easily degenerate.

But we'll see what people are positing and make our decision on a case-by-case basis. Hence, the "for now."

The LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin is seeking candidates for THREE tenure track faculty positions, two of which will primarily enhance the capabilities of the new master’s Program in Global Policy Studies and one of which may be focused more on domestic policy issues or public management.

The LBJ School is a graduate program offering a research oriented PhD Program in Public Policy as well as both a master’s degree in Public Affairs and, more recently, a master’s program in Global Policy Studies. Many of the more than 300 graduate students are in dual degree programs in which they also receive degrees in area studies, law, engineering, business, regional planning and other disciplines. Disciplinary affiliation is open.

Candidates should have the potential for excellence in research and teaching at the graduate level and demonstrate excellent communication skills. The successful candidate must hold a Ph.D. or an equivalent terminal degree by the time the position starts and have a strong research agenda for productive scholarship. Women and minority candidates are strongly encouraged to apply. The expected start date is either January 2010 or September 2010.

Applicant Instructions:

Candidates should submit a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, and a sample of written (ideally published) research.

Candidates should also request that three letters of reference be submitted on their behalf directly to the search committee.
