At my R1, for entry positions you need to give us something to read. A published journal article is best, but it can also be in galleys. At worst, we've read people's dissertations but that's always a bad idea. I don't think we've hired anyone who doesn't have at least one publication under their belt (ideally 2-3, with their dissertation monograph under contract for publishing, etc.) . This is in the social sciences, by the way. As always, your mileage may vary. | |

I guess I'm asking less about a bright line that guarantees success than I am about the dark line that guarantees failure. Is there a minimum below which your application simply won't be considered? You can't have a bright line b/c somebody else could have simply done more than you. But you might notice a floor... | |
