Job Market Resources

Here are samples of the materials I prepared for the philosophy job market in 2021-2022:
  • Cover letter (research university)
    • Here is the ad I was responding to (I recommend saving ads so you can review them before your interviews!)
  • Cover letter (liberal arts college)
    • Here is the ad I was responding to
  • CV and dissertation abstract (this is the CV I used on the market, not my current CV)
  • Writing sample
  • Research statement
  • Teaching portfolio
  • Diversity statement

Here are some additional materials I prepared for my flyouts:
  • Secondary writing sample (for my W&L flyout, I was asked to provide a new paper for faculty to pre-read then discuss, rather than give a research talk)
  • Teaching demonstration handout
  • Job talk slides, handout, and script (I recommend trying out the idea of writing a script (I do this for almost all my talks). I practiced my job talk twice, once unscripted and once scripted, and the scripted one was miles better)
  • Handout on research plans

Here are resources I found helpful  when I was on the market:
  • Dan Korman's advice for the job market
  • Phil Cocoon job market bootcamp
  • Zoë Johnson King's job market materials, available on the front page of her website.
  • Elise Woodard's compilation of possible interview questions (ask her for the file! It's amazing.)
  • Phil Cocoon job market reporting thread (the Grad Cafe of the job market – beware if you're the anxious type!)
  • I didn't do the Phil Cocoon job market mentoring program, but I heard good things about it.
