Job Market Star Prediction 2018-2019
-
assistant professors will just continue to move between institutions and move up from R2 SLACs into R1s, maybe some high ranking post docs will get some spots
Like 4 APs truly moved up this year. Very rare given the number of APs on the market. A toxic myth of mobility in the sociology market.
But keep applying to escape. Good luck.

Fair enough! Fixed! Point is that most of the movement is at the top. yale to Harvard fits this pattern.

The above poster claiming that Indiana to Berkeley and Washington to Chicago aren't upward moves is laughable.
They're clearly upward in lots of ways. But they're also people good enough to have gotten jobs at great departments in the first place, the type of cv you'd need to get a job at Washington isn't drastically different than Chicago for instance.
Thus the third category, where both upward, horizontal and downward mobility all occur. These are people already at the top of the market and it isn't fair to compare them to someone who thinks they're underplaced at southwestern whatever state university.
