ER accepted his offer to join UBC. Confirmed via Twitter. I’m happy for him but still don’t understand how what he studies is considered med soc. Lol. Are search committees more flexible with what the candidate researches if they’ve published a lot?
Yes, we are!

She seems good and Bard is a great LAC. I'm a white girl studying race and crim, glad I didn't waste my time competing against her for that job. :)

Also curious about this
Is this for the junior search or is Sloan also poaching? They had five talks for the junior search. I think all ABDs, only two or three were sociologists. Names were listed on seminar website and not too hard to find...
Who got the MIT Sloan offer?
Salganik and Anderson
Who is Anderson?Sloan very often flies people out and doesn’t make any offer. That may have happened again this year.

SICSS, Bit By Bit, and Fragile Families are all good and important. He got some grants early in his career. And it looks like he put his job market paper in Science. I'd hire him in a flash because of SICSS, Bit By Bit, and Fragile Families but I don't understand how he got to that point. His actual research record are a couple methodological pieces on diagnostics for respondent driven sampling and his dissertation paper.
Look I think Salganik is doing great work training others but what, exactly, has he done in terms of research? Has he invented a new method I don't know about?
The Fragile Families Challenge was kind of cool, I guess. That seems to be about it. -
can we get the wiki going already?
This site has been abandoned. No moderation except the bots. No new features. No annual updates.Yeah, who do they think they are talking to? Everything is clearly fully automated, and whatever cr/e/ey/py person created the job rumors empire just collects checks at this point.
