Preparing for the academic job market cycle but feeling a bit lost? I'm (re)sharing a piece I wrote for last year's @epssnet.bsky.social diversity panel. It includes my application data and qualitative excerpts. Main point: address a mix of person, project, and place. www.wlallen.com/wp-content/u...

Three equally overlapping aspects in a Venn diagram to cover in academic job market applications:
Project: why does this research matter now? What will it change? How will it contribute to knowledge?

Person: Why is this the right person? What essential skills or experience do they have?

Place: Why is this the right location for the research and researcher?

Social media is no longer social. Most of it is passive viewing of videos and pictures from people we've never met. But we're still studying social media like it's 2010. We've entered the post-social media era — and research needs to catch up. osf.io/preprints/so... preprint w/ Richard Rogers

Turns out (says @jburnmurdoch.ft.com) it's not so much an oversupply of graduates in the UK (the same would be true of other similar countries but it's not) as an undersupply of the kind of jobs that a better-performing, more productive economy would supply.

‘Is university still worth it?’ is the wrong question

The graduate earnings premium isn’t really measuring what most people think
