Some notes: - The workshop is limited to US positions. I will not be discussing alt-ac jobs or the European market - I will NOT be discussing any specific positions. - The focus will be on TT jobs, though non-tenured positions and post-docs will come up - I am doing this on a fully volunteer basis

Conducting multi-platform research presents inherent and growing challenges, but we note that single-platform studies can only tell us so much about our digital media ecosystem and its societal implications.

People can tell when you're excited about a position (vs. just being desperate for any position). And for you to be excited about a position, it (usually) does have to be a good fit for you, and not just another rung on the ladder.

Jo(sephine) Lukito @jolukito.bsky.social · 29/09/2025
If you can illustrate that you are excited about a position (somewhere you see your work growing), that's a good sign. Obviously, look at the centers/research. But don't stop at knowing these things--actually think about where you fit in their research ecosystem.

Jo(sephine) Lukito @jolukito.bsky.social · 29/09/2025
I don't say this because job candidates can be selective about fit (they can't, jobs are scarce). BUT, I do think departments can (sometimes) tell when a candidate thinks they are a good "fit." Campus visits esp. are like first dates. Is there a spark when you meet? Can you both feel it?
