 * no ABDs considered; hundreds of applicants
 * Heard through someone that works at UCSD that associates even applied for this ASSISTANT professor position and made it to campus interview stage.
 * I'm not surprised to hear this at all. The call was really broad, the university/department is great, and the location is desirable. That's the trifecta combination.  I'm sure they got associates that would be willing to go through the tenure process again if needed. Oh academia. Le sigh.
 * Given how dysfunctional the department has been in the last few years (a couple failed tenure cases, failed job searches, rescinded job offers... etc), it seems highly risky to give up on tenure to get a job here.
