I've updated the PS jobs website for the 2024-2025 cycle. I will try to update it every week or so, and folks are encouraged to submit updates. Good luck for those on the market. As for me, I'm going to go enjoy the Colorado mountains. ⛰️

By the way, I've been mass posting polisci jobs because it annoys me that APSA's ejobs listing is paywalled. I'm not on the market or anything. I just dislike paywalls.

I showed up to teach my first grad seminar today. Noone showed up for nearly an hour. I thought I had been canceled for liking #Stata . It turns out I had misread my own syllabus. The seminar is on Wednesdays, not Mondays. I can't state this strongly enough. Read the syllabus.

Updated job listings. Good news: More jobs. Bad news: Still 25-30% less than last year. Notably the reduction isn't the same across subfields. REP is the biggest loser with approx. 50% fewer jobs. IR and AP shrinking 20% ish. CP/Theory stable actually.

Any theories on why the TT market is lower this year? I updated the listings and we're at 90 ish. Same time last year we were are 130 ish. A 30 ish percent drop off. Is it due to election year uncertainty? Or is it the demographic cliff?

Total jobs listed on ejobs' September newsletter, 2016-2022. Not perfect (it includes TT and non-TT jobs), but given that a lot of jobs are announced alongside APSA I think it's a decent measure of the job market across time. @C_Wolbrecht #psjminfo

Here is some unsolicited advice for incoming faculty. Some are obvious but still. Schedule your lunch. You won't have it otherwise. 🥪 Don't let others dictate your research agenda. If you work in X field, you should publish in X journals, but it's your choice what X is.

Piece of advice for polisci folks on the signals. Use the signals on jobs where you might have family or other considerations others wouldn't know that would make you take the position. e.g. You're from Colorado and really want to be near extended family.
