Nova PhDs

(Sorry I have not said much recently. I have been meaning to respond to Jaime's entry on the cont/analytic post but things have been a little crazy.)

You all may have run across the article Ivan Tribble in the Chronicle. (It requires subscription; let me know you have no means of getting the piece.) It basically advised folks on the market, as well as young untenured faculty to worry about their blogs. Tribble contended that since hiring committee members tend to google candidates, having a blog — personal or professional — may hurt one's chances.

I just read this piece about someone getting fired because of a blog. Granted, she was fired from DeVry and not Harvard, but it does show that this could be an issue.

On our blog, mostly folks who have a phd AND a job post stuff. Nothing here is of the nature that would be detrimental to our careers either, I think. Would anonymous blogs be better?

here's what i see new (excluding the latest web ads i mentioned in the october jfp thread and several holdovers from the october print edition) -- this really does look pretty grim, especially paired with the fair to poor october issue:

hofstra: 19th excluding nietzsche
skidmore: 19th-20th and phil./lit.
uc denver: philosophy of mind and/or phenomenology
toronto: 20th century, particularly phenomenology
bucknell: aesthetics (ammon!)

villanova's environmental search is going again, along with the continental search and a catherine of siena ethics fellow.

francis marion u. in florence, sc (near myrtle beach) has an ad for a generalist. i have a very good friend there in the psych. department that i'd have no problem putting a word in through, if anyone is interested in that position.

good luck to everyone!

looks pretty decent. villanova has the one ad for a senior continentalist — now listed as a full OR associate professor.

strong AOS continental jobs (including all the specific ads for hegel, 19th-20th century french or german, etc.) at binghamton, colby, cornell, fordham, university of maine, georgia state, oglethorpe, memphis, university of central florida, grand valley state, notre dame, northwestern, and washington state. please feel free to note any i've left out. there are also a few other positions like duquesne (ancient) that list continental as their top AOC.

so who do we have on the market this year? ammon, greg, adam, seth? tim? anybody know darin and steve finn's status? any other abd's we have that would be going out (matt groe or josh maybe)? let us know if there's any way we can help!

if anyone has any information that might be helpful for our folks, please post it below.


EDITED to add:
not a lot of activity for continental hires in the last month, but new postings online include lebanon valley (?), harvard (kant+19th), and montreal.

next jfp (168) should be out in a day or two — publication date is listed as november 10th.

ammon, did you see the new positions in aesthetics (e.g. an AOS at lafayette college)?

okay, as promised, here is the list of placements for this year:

Tenure-track Positions
Farhang Erfani — American University (Washington D.C.)
Lucio Privitello — The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey
Christian Diehm — The University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point
Dana Belu — California State University-Dominguez Hills

Villanovans Moving Elsewhere

one of you guys can copy this stuff and post it to leiter, if you like — i think just the new tenure-tracks.
