= DISCUSSION: = Have something to say, leave your comments here, PLEASE DATE YOUR COMMENTS and KEEP NEWEST COMMENTS AT THE TOP

12/17 Has anyone heard from Bucknell?

12/16: and what about that wellesley job. they advertised for behavior, development and endocrinology. can any of the interviewees tell us what they ended up going for?

12/15: I'm one of the interviewees at U. Pitt. - my field is evolution.

12/15: Thanks for that link, I've seen that so that's how I know it was an open search. I was wondering if the interviews were for specific fields (i.e. they've scheduled interviews for one field, ecology, and not for others so that they're only interviewing for one of the two positions).

12/15: Anyone know what field of biology the U Pitt jobs are for? Are both jobs up for interviews in Jan or they only interviewing for ecology positions? Thanks. Here is a link to the department's job listings [Faculty Recruitment - Bio Dept. U. Pitt]

12/16: Re.. the University of Maryland Baltimore County position in environmental science: Can someone confirm they have scheduled interviews? I had heard from the search chair not long ago but had not heard that they had selected finalists.

12/17: I received a call on 12/12 from UMBC to interview.
