The fact that you apply for a position for any reason cannot be judged by other people. Last but not least, rejection is one of the things every scholar face very frequently. Sometimes, people even get rejected by their co-authors /colleagues for a position/grant/paper submission etc. for various reasons. However, the professional relationship is not damaged unless there is an ethical issue or serious misconduct | |

Nobody will write in a LOR "zzmondo1 applied for a tenure track position and was not selected". And even if they did, this can happen even to exceptional candidates. Everyone knows that getting a tenure track position is strongly stochastic. | |

| Nov 21, 2023 at 2:15 | comment | added | zzmondo1 | @BryanKrause I think both are true. I might edit it but I am not sure yet. Updated: Edited in another question at the bottom. | |
| Nov 21, 2023 at 2:13 | comment | added | Bryan Krause♦ | It's certainly awkward that you're trying to spy on a selection process for a job you're interested in; more awkward if they're illustrating it on a door for public viewing. But I think maybe your question is about applying for a job a week late, rather than applying for a job at your current institution like the title states? | |
| Nov 21, 2023 at 1:53 | comment | added | zzmondo1 | @BryanKrause The concern is how awkward that would look if I was not chosen at all after I applied in this case. I want an LOR and whatnot from someone there in the future so I do not want that to come back to haunt me possibly. That is not mentioning that I am a week later after they started reviewing applications and they wrote on the board that there would be new faculty interviews. They wrote a question on the door asking, "Email [first name]?"(they wrote a first name so I'm guessing its a candidate). | |
| Nov 21, 2023 at 1:40 | comment | added | Bryan Krause♦ | I'm not really understanding the concern. | |
| Nov 21, 2023 at 1:07 | comment | added | zzmondo1 | @Buffy Edited to clarify. I am referring to the institution itself and my colleagues. | |
