Would an R&R from say asr/ajs and 1 field pub be competitive?

It depends more on where your degree is from at Stanford.

They'd probably read your file if you have an R&R at AJS or ASR. Beyond that don't get your hopes up.

None of the above filters applied to the Stanford search two years ago

Is everyone already forgetting that Usmani only had an R&R (or maybe it was forthcoming by job market time) from AJS, and he got multiple offers at top 10 programs?

You can't game this one, kids. The more HRM an AP line, the more random the selection criteria (assuming you pass the HRM PhD and adviser gatekeeping hurdle).

I still got no clue wtf Usmani must have had going for him to get so many flyouts and offers, especially knowing other people with much, much, much better records who got goose egged.

I think Usmani's AJS was accepted pre-job market.
Also, the article is really good. Shows a level of theoretical ambition rarely seen in contemporary sociology, but widely prized by top departments.

Stanford alum here. Stanford faculty actually read files and writing samples. This means that sometimes they hire ABDs that seem strange to outsiders on paper because the department sees something we don’t. Of course, they will then demure tenure so if you take the offer be sure to get out by year six.

Hey mod, are we really not permitted to post that Stanford tenured a person whose entire project fails to replicate? Even though the take-downs have already been published? Really?

Stanford lost credibility as a top department once they tenured somebody whose entire research program is based on errors.

^ You should spend more time reading sociology and less time reading sjmr.

^I did read sociology to learn about that hot pile of bs called a research program. Comments in AJS. A whole stack of them. Even Richard Alba got in on it. You should try reading the comments and spend less time making pointless comments on sjmr.
