 * Bard College solicits applications for a tenure-track position in ethnomusicology at the rank of assistant professor, to begin fall 2018. Geographic and theoretical specializations are open.

 * 11/7 Has anyone figured out how to just use the names of references in Interfolio? The way it's set up it looks like you have to submit letters or you can't apply.
 * 11/7 (2) It does not appear this way to me. It appears that one can request letters as one can with any other Interfolio-based application. What is ambiguous is whether they want letters by the 15th or just contact info of referees.
 * 11/7 (original poster) Yes, but they also have a section to just upload one document with the contact. This makes me think you don't need to have letters submitted, but the way the system is set up, you have to request the letters anyway, even if you just want to upload a contact document, or you won't be able to submit (because those references are configured as "required").
 * 11/7 (2 again) My apologies: yes, I just saw the upload section for a sheet with contact info. I'm hoping the search committee offers some clarification.
 * 11/7 (2 again, separate question) Does anyone know if they want the statement of research and teaching combined all into one document or just a statement of research? The call suggests the former while the Interfolio system has things labeled in accordance with the latter.
 * 12/14 Anyone hear anything?
 * 1/25 Request for more materials and Skype interview

 * 10/30 Bowdoin will be interviewing at AMS. Sign up for a time here: http://www.ams-net.org/rochester/interviews/index.php
 * 10/31 All AMS interview slots are now filled but there are still spots on the waitlist.
 * 10/31 (2) Wow, those slots went fast. Are candidates who weren't lucky enough to secure one already out of the running even before applications are due, or is there still hope?
 * 10/31 (3) When Bowdoin did similar interviews for the ethno job at SEM last year my impression was that they seemed simply to be 10 minute informational sessions where candidates could learn more about the school rather than formal interviews that had a major impact on the search.
 * 10/31 (2 again) Thank you for sharing your experience.
 * 12/18 Any movement here?
 * 12/18 Request for more materials (12/13) (x3)
 * 02/01 Any news here?
 * 02/06 Received second request for more materials in mid January.
 * 02/12 Any movement here?
 * 02/17 I am guessing they must be conducting on campus interviews at this point.
 * 2/17 I mean, it's certainly been a while since any other news was posted on here. But there's no point in updating this Wiki with guesswork, I'd say. Risks making the whole page kind of pointless, no?
 * 2/18 I thought this was an open forum. Everybody involved has the right to make an educated guess and share it as a free-thinking member of this community. Still, thanks for your efforts in trying to enforce some unwritten law.
 * 2/18 It's actually not an open forum (moderators and others may remove undesirable posts, as they have done in the past). But I definitely wasn't trying to "enforce" anything, either—hence my careful couching. We all know the academic job market is a pain at times, if not always, and that the pain is always already spread unevenly. Still, wishing a happy weekend to all.

 * Intellectual leadership and vision for building upon the department’s strategic planning work and contributing to the advancement of Brown’s larger strategic goals in the arts.

Goldsmiths, University of London: Senior Lecturer/Reader in Music (Deadline: 20 March 2018)

 * Senior Lecturer / Reader in Music
 * Department: Music
 * Vacancy Type: Open-ended/Permanent
 * Full-Time/Part-Time: Full Time
 * Interview Date: Thursday 12 April 2018
 * Contact Details: David Badger, Department Business Manager, d.badger@gold.ac.uk
 * Actual Hours: 35
 * FTE: 1.0
 * Closing Date: 20/03/2018
 * Ref No: 8215
 * The Department of Music at Goldsmiths is seeking to appoint a Senior Lecturer / Reader in Music.
 * We are looking for an experienced musicologist and lecturer within HE, with a significant research profile in the study of 20th- and 21st- century music, including but not necessarily limited to art music traditions. Your research outputs are likely to achieve Grade 3 or Grade 4 in the forthcoming Research Exercise Framework assessment, and you will be able to attract postgraduate students from both in and outside the UK. You will develop and innovate in areas of contemporary music teaching and research, working in complement with Department staff in cognate areas. Expertise within the Department presently includes theoretical, practical and historical perspectives on art, jazz, popular, audiovisual, experimental and other forms of modern and contemporary music. You will match and supplement these specialisms with your own theoretically-informed work on 20th- and 21st- century music. You will also take on a senior academic admin role, with some leadership responsibilities.
 * Please note the appointment is available up to Reader level only.
 * The closing date for applications is Tuesday 20 March 2018 (23:59). Interviews will take place on Thursday 12 April 2018.
 * 3/2: What does "within HE" mean?
 * 3/3: "HE" is UK-academia's pervasive abbreviation for "higher education." An idiomatic US "translation" of the phrase "within HE" would be "at the college level." Anyone who doesn't know "HE" will surely face many, many more unexpected Britishishisms—even during the application process itself, to say nothing of an interview or day-to-day life on the job. Not to say you can't do it, but may wish to start preparing early...


 * 3/3 (2): The application system has a place for uploading "supporting docs". Has anyone come across an indication of what would be appropriate here? (I would imagine probably a cover letter, and perhaps a list of references...?)

===Indiana University: Assistant/Associate/Full Professor in Race, Migration, and Indigeneity (Deadline: 08 December 2017)===


 * The College of Arts and Sciences at Indiana University (IU) Bloomington invites applications for a tenure-track position in Race, Migration, and Indigeneity (RMI), to begin Fall 2018. RMI is a pioneering multi-disciplinary unit that investigates the complex social dynamics of race, ethnicity, human movement, and power relationships. The primary geographical focus is the United States, but extends to transnational and diasporic scholarship as well. This new program is intended to build closer ties among existing ethnic studies programs (African-American, Asian American, Latino, and Native American studies) as well as reach out to other interdisciplinary units and to core disciplines in the arts, humanities and sciences.
 * The successful candidate will help to establish an internationally recognized academic research program, have a strong interest in graduate and undergraduate instruction including mentoring of graduate student research, and a commitment to program, department, college, and university service appropriate with rank. The College of Arts and Sciences is committed to building and supporting a diverse, inclusive, and equitable community of students and scholars.
 * The College of Arts & Sciences is conducting a cluster hire of tenure-track faculty to help establish the program, with the goal of hiring 2-3 positions this year. Each of the faculty hired under this program will have tenure homes in a department or program within the College of Arts and Sciences, and each will be expected to teach one or two courses a year for the RMI program. Positions are open-rank, but at least some hires will be at the junior level. Full professors who would like to help build this innovative program are encouraged to apply.
 * RMI brings together faculty and students who study the relational nature of racial formations in the U.S. Candidates should be innovative scholar-teachers who conceptualize race/ethnicity, migration, and indigeneity in intersectional ways and who work to cross-pollinate ideas among various fields of inquiry. Candidates working on topics such as social movements; intersectional feminism(s); border politics (US-Mexican and US-Canadian); citizenship; Latino/a, Asian American, and Afro-Indigenous communities; Asian American and/or Pacific Islander literature, religion, and media representations are particularly urged to apply.
 * Since RMI serves as a hub for multi-disciplinary, cross-ethnic, and/or cross-racial studies, scholar-teachers trained in any of the disciplines in the arts, humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, or technology may apply. We welcome applications from anyone working in disciplines that do not normally consider ethnicity as a major topic of concern, but whose own research and teaching interests could make unique contributions to the RMI program. Potential examples include scholar-teachers who specialize in psychology, cognitive science, human biology, ecology, environmental racism, or the human dimensions of climate change.
 * Applicants must have a Ph.D. prior to employment. Candidates must submit a cover letter detailing their research and teaching interests, current CV, teaching evaluations, a writing sample, and three letters of recommendation. Applicants must also submit a brief statement of their understanding of the importance of diversity in a university setting. The statement should identify the types of diversity-related research, teaching, and service activities in which the candidate would anticipate adopting a leadership role.
 * To ensure full consideration, applications should be submitted by December 8, but they will be considered until the position is filled. Interested candidates should submit application materials online until the search is complete.
 * Questions about the position should be directed to: Dean Michael McGinnis, Search Committee Chair (RMI@indiana.edu). Indiana University is an equal employment and affirmative action employer and a provider of ADA services. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to age, ethnicity, color, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation or identity, national origin, disability status, or protected veteran status.”

As many of the incoming students are likely to have an interest in teaching music at post-primary level, the Senior Lecturer must have an ability and willingness to provide teaching in at least two of the areas required by Ireland’s Teaching Council:
 * Instrumental and/or Vocal Performance
 * Harmony
 * Composition
 * Aural, Basic Keyboard and Music Technology Skills
 * Western Art Music and/or
 * Irish Traditional Music

S/he will lead and develop the BA degree programme and in time will develop new programmes in Music and/or creative arts, working collaboratively within and beyond the School.

University of California, Los Angeles: Assistant Professor of Musicology (Early Music) (Deadline: 15 September 2017)

 * Job #JPF03092
 * HERB ALPERT SCHOOL OF MUSIC - MUSICOLOGY
 * Recruitment Period: Open July 28th, 2017 through September 15th, 2017
 * Description: The UCLA Department of Musicology seeks a scholar in the early stages of their career for a tenure-track position at the level of Assistant Professor. Required areas of expertise are Early Music, broadly defined. A strong plus (but not a requirement) will be applied-music leadership skills appropriate to future development of the UCLA Early Music Ensemble, which is administered by the department. The department welcomes a wide variety of secondary specialties.
 * All applicants are expected to have a Ph.D. in Musicology or a closely related field. Applicants are also expected to have a robust research agenda and should be prepared to teach at the graduate and undergraduate levels.
 * The position is open until September 15, 2017. To apply, submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, diversity statement, and the names and addresses of three references.
 * Please do this ONLINE at https://recruit.apo.ucla.edu/apply/JPF03092.
 * Anyone hear anything? 10/12
 * Request for more materials, 10/16 (x3)
 * 10/18 I have been told that they already know who they want to hire and the search is not transparent. I did not apply for this reason. I know some colleagues who have significant research and teaching background in this field are being excluded. What a shame!
 * 10/19 I did not apply to this either, but respectfully, I disagree with your assessment. The call seeks applicants with diverse methodological approaches (e.g. “early music, broadly defined”); there is evidence above of multiple requests for more materials; recent hires at UCLA have come from several different institutions (again, I’m not connected to this school, but they do seem to have a recent record of transparent hiring practices). Before rushing to judgement, maybe we should wait and see how this job search plays out? In any event, I wish you and your colleagues the best of luck in your respective job searches.
 * 10/25 Yes,but there are only three requests for more material, and those will be the final candidates who were already chosen before the search started. And by the way, this is the same institution that last year hired an ethnomusicologist to fill a music history position. Someone with an interest in Samoan music. Wow!!! So impressed, this is really cutting-edge research. But can someone explain to me what the correlation with western music is? Maybe, that Monteverdi, Mozart, Beethoven, Debussy, or Verdi (among all the others) went to an all inclusive vacation there??
 * 10/25 (poster #2) Well, speaking as one of the short-listers I'm pretty sure I wasn't chosen before the search started, as I've never even met anyone in the department. It's unfortunate that your colleagues feel excluded, but we all know that the ratio of qualified applicants to positions makes the whole process more of a lottery than anything else. It had been a while since my number came up, so hopefully theirs will too. The only surefire way not to get a job you want, though, is not to apply for it. I have personally seen "preferred" internal candidates not get the job, even after ten years in a position they basically created. (x2)
 * 10/26 Surely we all realize that not everyone posts to this list. The fact that there are only 3 requests for more materials listed here tells us nothing at all about the overall state of the long list or search.
 * 11/1 I am a member of the Search Committee for this search.  The information in the comment posted on 10/18 is completely incorrect.  We absolutely do not know who we want to hire yet.  We reviewed all the applications and cut the list to 20 people who were asked for further materials.  We will be meeting next week to cut that list to a group of 8 who will be invited to Skype interviews.  Absolutely no candidates were chosen before the search began.  Finally, as regards the first posting on 10/25 above, we did not hire an ethnomusicologist for a music history position last year.
 * 11/2 Many thanks for your input and for refuting the untruthful statements above. (x3)
 * 11/9 Request for Skype interview (x2)
 * 12/5 Any movement? (x2)
 * 1/10 campus interviews are underway

===University of Cambridge: British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship (Deadline: 18 August 2017)===


 * The British Academy will shortly invite applications to their prestigious Postdoctoral Fellowships scheme, with a deadline expected to be in early October 2017 (http://www.britac.ac.uk/british-academy-postdoctoral-fellowships). These fellowships fund three years of research on a topic of the applicant’s choice, and applications have to be hosted by a UK higher education institution. You should check the latest eligibility details on the British Academy website but basically you need to have obtained your doctorate in the last three years or else to have your viva by the end of March 2018 (but see below). There are also nationality/residency conditions, but you are automatically eligible if you have a doctorate from a UK university.
 * If you would like to apply through the University of Cambridge, you need to submit a draft application to the Faculty of Music by 18 August 2017. Before then you may wish to contact an appropriate member of the Faculty who might act as mentor (for a staff list see http://www.mus.cam.ac.uk/directory/academic-staff), but this is not a requirement.
 * In line with new British Academy requirements, applications will be initially scrutinised by the Faculty but the final decision as to whether we can host your application will be made at University level. We hope to tell you this by around the middle of September; if so, you will be asked at that point to commit yourself to applying through Cambridge, and we will work with you to make your application as good as possible.
 * The documentation we require falls into two parts, the first of which is for the University's evaluation process, while the second is the basis of the application to the British Academy.
 * (i) a document containing your name, the title of your proposed research project, and a research project description (maximum 750 words), addressing the following:
 * the research problem you are seeking to address and why it is distinctive
 * the design and methodology through which your project will adresss this problem
 * how your proposed research will significantly change the established landscape
 * how you will complete your project within the three-year period of the award
 * why Cambridge is the right place to carry out the project


 * (ii) a draft British Academy application consisting of the following:
 * an academic CV
 * a summary of your doctoral or other previous research in about 500 words
 * a research proposal of about 1500 words. This should be structured as shown at the bottom, since these are the key sections of the British Academy application form.


 * These documents should be supplied as Microsoft Word documents (not PDFs) emailed to research@mus.cam.ac.uk. You can also use this address for any queries you may have.
 * You should be aware that in 2016 the British Academy introduced a restriction on the number of times you can apply within your period of eligibility. Normally only one application is possible, although a small number of near-miss applicants may be permitted to apply in the following year. (If this applies in your case, please say so; otherwise we shall assume this is your first application.) For this reason we would generally recommend you to apply in this round only if you will have obtained your doctorate by September 2017; this is in part because in most cases the best informed referees will be your examiners (supervisors are not permitted to act as referees).

GENERAL DISCUSSION
Musicology/Ethnomusicology 2017-18 Wiki Moderator: 5120j (5120janon@gmail.com)


 * A few comments from 5120j:
 * 1. My rule of thumb for deciding which jobs to post is: "COULD an ethno/musicologist fill this post?" Not the more narrow question "WILL an ethno/musicologist fill this post?" So, this means I will post more general "humanities" jobs, and positions (mostly at small schools) looking for someone to teach music history/appreciation but also direct an ensemble/teach applied lessons/etc. (If the most important part of the job seems to be the ensemble directing/applied lessons and music history/appreciation is an add-on, I don't post it.)
 * 2. I post almost the entire text of the job ad so that if any changes are made later, they can be noticed and noted. The ads also usually disappear from the institution's website after the application deadline has passed, so it's helpful to preserve them here. And it's very instructive to see how the winning candidate did and didn't fit the job as it was advertised. I do usually excise the description of the hiring school/department/facilities and the EOE boilerplate, but I leave the rest of it as-is. Removing anything more feels like editorializing on my part.
 * 3. I don't have a current membership to CMS/MVL or SEM so if jobs are posted only in those locations, I won't see them. I don't think we've missed too many in the last few years though, since most jobs are advertised fairly widely.
 * 4. My anon email is 5120janon at gmail, and I welcome comments and questions about the wiki and its moderation this year. I'm not a musicologist of any type and am not (and will not be) on the market myself, but I have a professional interest in the ethno/musicology job market.


 * 7/6/17 Call for new moderator: After many years of much-appreciated service, Hybridist will be stepping down as back-up moderator, so I am in search of someone new. I plan to continue to do the day-to-day updates and job postings for the foreseeable future, so this will not require a lot of time on your part. However, I prefer to have a backup administrator/moderator to keep an eye on the page when extra care is needed and/or I am unable to do so myself.
 * If you are interested, please send me an email (anonymously is fine) at 5120janon at gmail dot com.
 * Moderators need to be off the job market, have a basic understanding of the wiki setup/formatting/history, and already have a Wikia.com username with an edit history.
 * 7/6/17 Thank you for everything, Hybridist! I have really appreciated your work all these years. 5120j, thank you also for all of your service to the wiki! (x2)


 * 7/14 Please note that positions starting in Fall 2017 are still being posted on the 2016-17 wiki page.


 * 10/14 A job ad for Director of the School of Music at Cal State Fullerton was posted yesterday. I have removed it as outside the scope of this wiki (since a degree in ethno/musicology was neither required nor preferred), but interested candidates can find the posting here: http://hr.fullerton.edu/diversity/job-openings/ft/9734BR_director_school_of_music.asp
 * Also, new this year, there is a Music Administration wiki for jobs as Department Chairs, Directors, and Deans: http://academicjobs.wikia.com/wiki/Music_Administration_2017-18 -5120j
 * 11/12 100th job posted on November 10. In 2016, the 100th job was posted on October 31; in 2015 we hit 100 on November 19 and in the 2014-15 season, the wiki didn't reach 100 until February 11.


 * 11/16 I am interested in visiting forums and websites that discuss the state of music studies in higher education, whether the opinions and observations are positive, negative, anecdotal, scholarly, or just plain venting. My interests include the job market, the state of today's students, changing curricula, etc. Please post your suggestions below.
 * 11/27: People who have used interfolio before: when you list your references does it automatically generate a request?  Also, even if old, is it advisable now *not* to double space after periods?
 * 11/28 I'm not sure about interfolio, but I am sure that you should never use two spaces after a period unless you're using a typewriter.


 * 3/1 Can someone on a search committee please explain why the only people getting jobs are those who graduwed in the last two years?  As a person who has many years of experience, many publications, and far more knowledge of the inner workings of institutions than those who have only recently left school, I find it deeply discouraging  that those who are less qualified are getting positions.  Would it be a mistake to say that if you don't get a position within your first two years out of school, you are simply not going to get a job in the United States?  The only exception seems to be jobs outside of the country.  Any comments by others in this position as to why this might be happening?
 * (2) I would like to second this question. With numerous publications including a book from a major university press, glowing teaching evaluations from top institutions, and prominent service roles within the field, it is difficult to imagine that the most important thing on my record is the age of my degree, but I'm having less luck than I did when I was unpublished, inexperienced, and ABD. I do think it's an exaggeration, though, that it is impossible to land a position more than two years out. I've seen many exceptions to this, and there are already one or two even this year. (Also, several of the positions already awarded this year to 2017 Ph.D.s are non-tenure-track / part-time / temporary appointments.)
 * (3) Thirding this question. My PhD was awarded in 2015 from a top tier research institution; I have teaching experience, publications, a long history of funding/awards/grants/conference organization & presentations and a large network of peers and referees who I know are writing strong letters, etc. Currently affiliated as a postdoc at a prestigious institution. I'm not writing to sound "braggodocious," but only to express my ongoing bewilderment and disappointment at not being able to get an interview. I feel the clock ticking and am increasingly despondent at seeing so many ABDs landing jobs in the last two years. Feeling like the work I've put in will not translate into a position in North America, because hiring committees appear to be skewing towards young scholars right out of their degrees. Is it the case that being 2-3 years out means you're old news now? Someone, please offer some insight...
 * (2) here again. Although I'm in the same boat, it is so easy to catastrophize in this environment, and that is only counter-productive. Just wanted to point out that there is only one confirmed appointment of an ABD so far this year, and it's an adjunct appointment for a single course. Even if it isn't the norm, I've known many people several years out who have eventually landed jobs.
 * (3.5) Answering the question in the "Recent Activity" section: The problem is that you/we give for granted that the hiring process is based on merit, but is not. Having been trained in Europe, I have to say that, apart from very few universities, research is not valued in this country. Of course, I am referring to the humanities and not to other scientific fields. You can continue to publish in top journals and gain more and more teaching experience but is is abolutely useless. It is a corrupted system! Unless you know someone, have a relative in the department, or belong to an ivy league lobby, it is likely that you are not going to land a permanent position. Spousal hiring is also another scandalous practice, which is used only in the UK and US, and should be abolished outright. Furthermore, the tenure system is a failure and unfair to those who are working hard. But the question is, who really cares about this? Certainly not the university administrators nor the tenured faculty members. In view of the situation (despite my many peer-reviewed publications and years of teaching experience), I would like to leave disgusting academia (if an opportunity comes) and be treated with more dignity and respect as a scholar and educator.
 * (4) The fact is that there are no good generalizations to be had about this question. Yes, there are ABD's and very recent grads who wrote amazing dissertations, can speak compellingly about the future of their research, and who appeal to (some) job committees right out of the gate. And, of course, the market sucks, and some people have bad luck for the first few years, and it might not be for any particular reason. But most committees for TT hires don't prioritize "many years of experience, many publications, and far more knowledge of the inner workings of institutions"--they're looking for a colleague with promise and potential who will be a part of their institution for perhaps the rest of their career. People can learn the "inner workings of an institution" after they get there; members of search committees are faculty members who are qualified to assess the quality of applicants' work even if it's not published yet. On the other hand, an applicant may have published a great deal, but if that research doesn't strike the committee as exciting work, or as the kind of work that complements the faculty they already have, they won't be interested. If you're more than a few years out from the degree, publications and teaching experience aren't enough to land a job; they're expected. Expectations are, entirely reasonably, different for ABD's and recent Ph.D.'s.
 * (1)    Lecturing about what is already known (i.e. the potential long-term placement of a colleague, etc.) does not deal with the reality of the last five years.  Look at the "accepted jobs" list on the Wiki and then try to come up with an answer.  There is a clear bias towards new graduates, and the above comment does not address this directly.
 * (4) I'm disputing that this "clear bias" is what you say it is. The fact that a certain number of "new graduates" are getting jobs doesn't in and of itself say much of anything; you'd have to know the makeup of the entire applicant pool (which we don't), and you'd have to have some way of accounting for the fact that ALL recent graduates who want an academic job are on the market in a given year (because they don't have jobs yet), whereas only a portion of less-recent graduates are on the market because many of them already have TT jobs. And as an aggregate, the pool of less-recent graduates is presumably somewhat less competitive for jobs because many of the more competitive candidates, having secured positions that they don't want to leave, are no longer on the market. This is not to say that there are not highly qualified, excellent candidates in the "less-recent graduates" pool; it's just to say that I don't think these threads about a "bias" towards recent Ph.D.'s are accurately interpreting the data of the wiki. And the idea that job committees SHOULD be hiring mostly or exclusively people who are further out from the Ph.D. simply because they have more publications than an ABD is very much misunderstanding what many job committees (including the one I was on) look for.
 * 3/2 In response to "if 'you are more than a few years out from the degree, publications and teaching experience aren't enough to land a job; they're expected." Are you kidding me?? What should be expected is that tenured faculty members are those who produce the most important scholarly contributions in the field, considering that in my insitution they teach 2 courses a semester, at the most.
 * 3/3 I do not understand the "Are you kidding me??" comment above. You're saying that faculty members who have been teaching full time for several years may well be expected to have published significantly. So is the person who you are apparently trying to refute. I don't get it.
 * 3/5 I've chaired search committees and been on them. There's a lot of tin foil hat stuff going on here about collusion or search committees purpously picking less-qualified candidates. I've never seen a search committee purposely shoot their institution in the foot, even contentious committees reach a consensus candidate by the end that all feel will be tenurable. The bottom line is that every search committee is different just like every job and every candidate. Some faculty prefer candidates with more experience some with somewhat less, some see "too much" experience as a liability and some see it as an asset. This can vary depending on the "self-confidence" of the institution or by the collective experiences of the faculty on the committee. Typically the "performance" of the candidate and their references is the overarching factor in deciding who gets a campus interview. How "authentic" does the candidate seem, can you envision working with them for the next 20 years of your life, do the calls you make to people not on their list of references speak highly of them or not, does the candidate seem to have an attitude on the phone interview that fits with the mindset of the department's faculty. I've seen tenured professors perform very well on phone interviews, and very poorly and I've seen ABDs win and lose the same way. I've seen the same thing at on campus interviews - where the leading candidate walked out of one meeting having lost the job or where the person who barely made the final three vaulted to the top after just 5 minutes in front of a classroom. The research and experience might get you to the phone interview, but after that no one cares what your resume says. Sorry about all the scarequotes, but honestly hiring is an art not a science so, you know, those are phrases you see coming up in committee discussions! Best wishes to all.
 * Thanks for this--very insightful and resonates with my own experience. I'm curious what you mean by "do the calls you make to people not on their list..." Do committees call references not on the list of recommended references? Is this only the case at particularly selective institutions? Is this formalized or more of an "asking around" kind of thing?
 * I appreciate the above explanation very much, and I would also be interested in better understanding "calls to people not on their list"--this is one of, I suspect, several methods that may seem clear cut to search committees, but to applicants represent a lack of transparency in hiring processes. Combined with dismal job placement rates, is it any wonder that every spring seems to inspire a new set of so-called tin foil hat conspiracy theories published to the job wiki?
 * OP here: the off-list calls depend on the institution. Some institutions (public or private, doesn't seem to make a difference) HR departments virtually require search committees to call off list (some forbid it too). The ones that do it have candidates sign a waiver that says we can call whomever we want about you. The idea is that naturally your references will say good things about you and we've already seen your letters so no news there. The SC is trying to figure out what everyone else says, more or less expecting someone to say "good person, competent, haven't heard anything too crazy about them." Not expecting a glowing report if you will, but at least no "red flags" (if that makes sense). These calls can be hard to do in cases where no one knows anyone connected to your history, but oftentimes with a big search committee someone will know someone somewhere in your past. These calls are actually most important in cases where someone has been employed for a period of time somewhere and then left abruptly (for reasons unknown) and includes no one from that institution on their reference list. Again, just a way of confirming that what the applicant has stated on their CV and such is accurately represented.

I do not, however, think that the answer is criticizing or hating ABDs who get jobs. I can remember being an ABD and desperately hoping that I would get a job straight out of the gait. There’s no reason to wish suffering on the younger generations. Instead I hope that, as the previous poster did, we can focus our anger on the institutional problems, from politicians not funding universities to administrators hiring more adjuncts at low pay to departments taking on more graduate students than they can place. In other words, while I agree that the system is not fully meritocratic, I don’t agree that the solution is to fight for more meritocracy. Rather we should focus on making the system, academia, equitable and fair for everyone laboring within it.
 * 03/06 I think some of this discussion is disingenous and/or blind. Whether search committee members want to admit it or not, people further out from the degree are often seen as stale or losers. I even had a diss committee member confirm that this is the case. This is not at all unconnected from the fact that such people are usually adjuncting, and as much as we all would not like to acknowledge it, adjuncting is seen as a loser activity. This is evidenced by all the ways ajuncts are treated from top to bottom: first and foremost, the absurd pay they receive, and their general lack of inclusion in the very concept of "faculty" (where faculty are read as ladder faculty. I have been guilty myself of this). Anyone who has adjuncted knows exactly the sense of inferiority that comes with it, both internal and external. With adjuncting also comes the problem that you spend all of your time trying to earn money and applying for jobs, which means no time to publish. Thus CV gaps start to appear. Myself and many, many of my colleagues share the experience of having search committees interested in us when ABD or just finished, and see that interest wane as the years increase, despite accomplishments. Someone in a TT position with benefits should take the time to look through this wiki to see the pattern of recent grads tending to get jobs over people further afield. Of course the larger problem is the way too many ladder faculty ignore the abysmal labor crisis in academia. That is, everyone knows it's there, because they see budget constraints and the difficulty of getting tenure lines, but I can't tell you how many times tenured faculty have met my ponderings of leaving the field due to lack of jobs with encouragement that I should stick it out, as if persistence is recognized (it is not), and as if hiring occurs because of merit (it does not). As researchers of culture, we ought to be able to acknowledge this, but too many ladder faculty have their heads in the sands of the time when everyone out of a R1 at least was gauaranteed to get a job. In the moment of #MeToo, moreover, it baffles my mind that so many faculty have bought into the neoliberal koolaid of "nothing-but-work" and "stick-it-out-at-contingent-low-paying-jobs," when 1) the majority of adjuncts in the country are women 2) women have to put off family if they want a shot (see recent report about married men with or without kids and single women without kids getting the most TT jobs. Single women with kids get the least, surprise surpise). To my mind, one of the clearest indications of the complete negligence, disrespect, and lack of care and compassion on the part of people training PhDs for jobs that don't exist is the fact that the professional socieities don't even bother to track these kinds of things. He were are, having a discussion about the labor crisis on a friggin' wiki. That shows the institutional committement to not dealing with the problem. Some will say, if you don't like it, why don't you get out? 1) That's what will happent to most PhDs, the question is how long they'll allow themselves to be absued; 2) The prestige that ladder faculty have comes form this very structure of exploitation, which provides a clear incentive not to let it go. Ladder faculty get prestige by having and training grad students, thereby putting their approaches and ideas into the world. They have more time to do this because grad students and adjuncts are doing the bulk of teaching. Ladder faculty need to recognize how their own positions, both their prestige and their salaries, depend on this grad and adjunct labor. I don't blame ladder faculty for doing what they themselves need to do to survive in an environment that undervalues even them, in institutions that have become businesses, in departments not seen as "productive" to our metrics-based, capitalist society. But I DO hope that they recognize 1) This is a crisis; 2) Those without ladder jobs after a few years ARE seen as less than, even if subconsciously, for all the reasons outlined; 3) Tenured, TT, contingent, and grad students are all part of ONE body of laborers. If we recognize this, instead of taking pride and value in our internal hiearchies, we might be able to do something about the crumbling of Higher Ed in the US. Ladder faculty: learn to hear our suffering, our obsevations, and our critiques, do some self-introspection, and join us. If you beleive in education and in true access and equity in education (for students as well as teachers) it's either that or see your job lost to Coursera. Also, it's the right thing to do. We're humanists, after all. Aren't we?
 * (2) Hear hear to the previous post! I would like to offer some evidence about this issue: (https://www.chronicle.com/article/On-the-Academic-Job-Market/233683) Chronicle published data on this a couple of years ago, showing that most people in the humanities are hired ABD, with fewer people hired the more years out from degree you go. The data is not from musicology, but since all fields studied in the humanities show the same thing, I think we can assume that musicology is similar. I wonder if perhaps musicology is more similar to anthropology, where one year out is as good as ABD. Anecdotally from my experience and looking at the job wiki, I would assume this to be true, but it needs to be studied systematically.
 * I couldn't agree more with the previous two posts. We're hearing a lot of talk from our professional societies about what they can do to better serve contingent faculty members. I've heard lots of good suggestions and I'm grateful for them, but I worry they are more geared toward making people in positions of power feel better about themselves and that they normalize unacceptable forms of labor (i.e., the more assistance we provide contingent workers, the more "acceptable" this form of exploitation becomes). But as some of the posts on this thread reveal, what our professional societies really need to do is raise awareness of the biases and institutional structures that serve to exploit graduate students and contingent workers in the first place. Since people clearly don't really understand the forces at play here, it might be a productive first step toward change. Perhaps AMS should publish materials and hold workshops at meetings on why biases--like the belief that academics a few years out from their PhD are stale losers--are foolish and should not factor into hiring decisions. I doubt that will ever happen, however, because it would be too painful. It would require that those in ladder positions and positions of power turn their critical apparatuses on themselves and expose the ways in which they have contributed to exploitation, or, at best, been complacent about it.
