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

12/18: Please make sure to include the present date (e.g. 12/18) each time you move or add an entry in the sections above. That way it is very easy to find updates by using the browser search function (control + F) to find changes for a particular day. With easy searching, the order issue (chronological vs. alphabetical) is not so important.

12/17 How can it be that Arizona State (Sustainability Science) was contacting a short list on 12/1 when their application deadline wasn't until 12/3. Or am I reading this wiki incorrectly?

12/17 Anyone have any information on Merced?

12/17 I just heard today from a school, so I don't think it is over until Friday the 21st.

12/17 Does everyone think we are done hearing from schools until after the holiday break? Will we hear any more before then? Your thoughts....?

12/17: Has anyone heard from the University of Washington's Burke Museum Genetics Resources Curator/Assistant Professor of Biology search committee yet? I don't see it above and applications were due on Nov. 15.

12/17: Regarding Bucknell - I got rejection letter a month ago. I think that was the first round--anything new?

12/17: What about the University of Connecticut job - landscape to global scale ecologist? I don't see it up here, but it was on the old the site. Any news?

12/17: Thanks for the scoop on Pitt.. good luck! do we know if this is both positions or only one scheduled so far?

12/17 Has anyone heard anything from James Madison (freshwater ecologist) or Murray State (aquatic ecologist)? Reply: They're both listed under scheduled campus interviews

12/17: Are there any wiki options for job offer packages/negotiations? It's sort of rude to ask people about job offer packages, details, dollar amounts - but I feel totally in the dark about these things and have no idea what to ask for when negotiating. If you're not at an institution with a large consortium of postdocs, you're sort of on your own. Would anyone find it useful to have a totally anonymous place where people can post the type of university and info about their package, what to ask for, maybe ballpark dollar amounts so that we're all a little better prepared?

12/17 Has anyone heard from Bucknell?

12/17: Thanks for that -- and congratulations!

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

12/16: 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]
