However, looking over the 150+ applicants for a tenure track position at my institution, I see many well qualified applicants who've spent years in VAP positions without landing a tenure track position. It's pretty rough out there. | |

| Feb 1, 2015 at 17:03 | comment | added | Nate Eldredge | As a comment on your last sentence, readers should note this doesn't necessarily imply that supply of job candidates is outpacing demand by a factor of hundreds. In the last several years, math departments in the US have largely adopted mathjobs.org, a central employment clearinghouse, and as a result it is pretty easy for each candidate to submit dozens or even hundreds of applications. So the total number of applications has increased dramatically, but the change in number of candidates and/or positions may not be so dramatic. | |
