My department is hiring in African history and the United States since 1865! Both positions are tenure-track, and both hires will be made at the assistant level. I'm not on either search committee (sabbatical, babyyyyy), but I'm more than happy to answer any questions you might have. 🗃️

#PPOD: This image shows the light from three planets orbiting a star 120 light-years away. The planets' star, called HR8799, is located at the spot marked with an "X." This picture was taken using a small, 1.5-meter portion of the Palomar Observatory's Hale Telescope, north of San Diego. 🧪 🔭

In the middle, a green X labeled "Star". Up and to the left of the X is a blue circle with a darker center, labeled "Planet b". Up and to the right of the X is a yellow circle surrounded by red and blue bands labeled "Planet c". Below the X is an orange and red circle surrounded by a blue band labeled "Planet d".

A image of 12 fake papers, where only their titles are visible. Each title is a spoof of common exoplanet papers: "Earth-like climate model fits flat spectra", "That thing that was found, wasn't really found. It gone", "IT NOT GONE AND I CAN PROVE IT", "Clouds: we hates them", "Full climate model for the thing that may not exist", "Positive biosignature detected at zero sigma", "Exo-Earth / Rosetta stone for life / vaguely close to Earth in radius", "Number of lifeforms in galaxy estimated from statistics of mini-Neptune observations", "Essential science of Venus: Plans for a new Mars mission", "1000 new distant things confirmed by knowing other distant things kinda like them", "Weird gas found in hot Jupiter", "The community is closed minded about extraordinary claims with no evidence".
