Yesterday was the last of our series of posts by PhD students on the job market for this year, and so we thought we’d link them all in one place for future reference, as well as provide some details on submissions.
This year we received 35 submissions, which was 5 more than last year. These came from 16 women and 19 men at 31 different universities located in 11 countries – U.S., Portugal, Sweden, India, Canada, France, Italy, United Kingdom, Ireland, Korea, and Germany. The overall quality was very good, and we ended up publishing 17 submissions, or roughly half. We thank everyone who submitted posts, and wish all candidates good luck on the job market.
