Starting a phd - what’s one thing you wish you had? Have a friend/colleague starting a phd shortly, need to get them a gift. It’s a science based phd if that makes a difference! Notebook is an obvious choice, would an academic diary be useful? What’s one thing you found most useful and/or wish you had when doing your phd? Thanks!

Quitting your PhD and starting another later in life? Ten years ago in my early twenties, I started a PhD on a scholarship. I spent four years on it (with a few breaks), before leaving. I don't regret it—leaving literally saved my life, given some significant mental health issues at the time. The area also wasn't an area I loved. I'm now in a much better place than I was, and am starting to retrain in an area I am incredibly energised by.

Faculty: What would you think of a new TT hire who backed out of another school after signing their offer letter? School A: dream job at high-caliber school in wonderful location. School B: mediocre school in yucky location. School B made me an early offer with a short deadline, and I signed their offer letter. Now School A has made me an offer. The folks at r/Professors said to choose School A, but maybe I wasn't clear in my post there that I have already signed School B's offer letter, so I thought I'd check with the wider community. **Could backing out on School B harm my reputation with School A (and the rest of my field)? Should I tell School A at any point that I signed the offer letter for School B?** I'm especially interested in POVs from mid/later-career professors, who are the majority at School A.

Some faculty at my school are moving to formally prevent hiring of anyone who obtained degrees at the school into a TT position at that school. Thoughts? **TLDR**: I am an observer to an interesting development at my school. My engineering department at my school is going to hire someone into a TT position who obtained all of their degrees - B.S.and PhD. - at that school (albeit in a different engineering department), who (in my opinion from interviewing them) has a decently strong record. A group of faculty are highly against the decision on principle and lodged a protest in the academic senate, and they are moving to gain support from faculty in other departments to add a clause to the academic policy and procedures manual that anyone who obtained any of their degrees at the school is ineligible to be hired into any position in a tenure-track series at the school. Curious what people's thoughts are on this. **Long version**: My department had a call for a TT position last fall, which was a repost of a position which had a failed search in the previous cycle. A bunch of good candidates were interviewed - I was involved in interviewing them since I'm kind of a mainstay in the department although I'm not formally on the hiring committee since I'm not on the academic senate. The hiring committee's first choice (who was also my recommended first choice) declined, and the second candidate is someone who obtained both their B.S. and PhD. at this school and has been around as an adjunct professor for 5 years in the same department they graduated from, but has staked out their own research niche separate from their doctoral advisor. My department (where they are being hired) is different from the department they graduated from and are in currently. In my recommendation to the hiring committee after interviewing the candidates, I recommended this candidate as a tie for second choice with one other candidate. The hiring committee decided to go with them. I honestly don't think it's controversial based on my assessment from interviewing them and looking at their CV - they've been publishing a lot even though they don't have their own students, have brought in a bunch of grant money, and their focus area seems to be one that the department wants to inherit. There's the additional pressure to not have a second failed search in a row as well. However, the department vote to hire this person passed but just barely. The candidate's case was then approved by the chair and the provost, so the offer was made. The faculty who voted against them didn't accept the decision, however, so they lodged a protest with the academic senate. Further, they are trying to get support from other departments for preventing something like this from happening again by trying to get it formally written into the academic policy and procedures manual that applicants who obtained any of their degrees at the school are ineligible for consideration for any tenure-track position at the school. It's a lot of drama. I can see that some might not like it on principle and it'd be bad if their record was bad and they were hired anyway, but in this case their record was pretty strong relative to the other candidates. Fortunately I'm not internally involved (I'm non-TT and therefore not on the senate) but it's interesting to observe the magnitude of faculty reaction to this. I feel like if the candidate takes the offer, they'll have the deck stacked against them when going for tenure from the get-go. What do think about this?

Some faculty at my school are moving to formally prevent hiring of anyone who obtained degrees at the school into a TT position at that school. Thoughts? **TLDR**: I am an observer to an interesting development at my school. My engineering department at my school is going to hire someone into a TT position who obtained all of their degrees - B.S.and PhD. - at that school (albeit in a different engineering department), who (in my opinion from interviewing them) has a decently strong record. A group of faculty are highly against the decision on principle and lodged a protest in the academic senate, and they are moving to gain support from faculty in other departments to add a clause to the academic policy and procedures manual that anyone who obtained any of their degrees at the school is ineligible to be hired into any position in a tenure-track series at the school. Curious what people's thoughts are on this. **Long version**: My department had a call for a TT position last fall, which was a repost of a position which had a failed search in the previous cycle. A bunch of good candidates were interviewed - I was involved in interviewing them since I'm kind of a mainstay in the department although I'm not formally on the hiring committee since I'm not on the academic senate. The hiring committee's first choice (who was also my recommended first choice) declined, and the second candidate is someone who obtained both their B.S. and PhD. at this school and has been around as an adjunct professor for 5 years in the same department they graduated from, but has staked out their own research niche separate from their doctoral advisor. My department (where they are being hired) is different from the department they graduated from and are in currently. In my recommendation to the hiring committee after interviewing the candidates, I recommended this candidate as a tie for second choice with one other candidate. The hiring committee decided to go with them. I honestly don't think it's controversial based on my assessment from interviewing them and looking at their CV - they've been publishing a lot even though they don't have their own students, have brought in a bunch of grant money, and their focus area seems to be one that the department wants to inherit. There's the additional pressure to not have a second failed search in a row as well. However, the department vote to hire this person passed but just barely. The candidate's case was then approved by the chair and the provost, so the offer was made. The faculty who voted against them didn't accept the decision, however, so they lodged a protest with the academic senate. Further, they are trying to get support from other departments for preventing something like this from happening again by trying to get it formally written into the academic policy and procedures manual that applicants who obtained any of their degrees at the school are ineligible for consideration for any tenure-track position at the school. It's a lot of drama. I can see that some might not like it on principle and it'd be bad if their record was bad and they were hired anyway, but in this case their record was pretty strong relative to the other candidates. Fortunately I'm not internally involved (I'm non-TT and therefore not on the senate) but it's interesting to observe the magnitude of faculty reaction to this. I feel like if the candidate takes the offer, they'll have the deck stacked against them when going for tenure from the get-go. What do think about this?

My engineering department at my school is going to hire someone into a TT position who obtained all of their degrees - B.S.and PhD. - at that school (albeit in a different engineering department), who (in my opinion from interviewing them) has a decently strong record. A group of faculty are highly against the decision on principle and lodged a protest in the academic senate, and they are moving to gain support from faculty in other departments to add a clause to the academic policy and procedures manual that anyone who obtained any of their degrees at the school is ineligible to be hired into any position in a tenure-track series at the school. Curious what people's thoughts are on this. **Long version**: My department had a call for a TT position last fall, which was a repost of a position which had a failed search in the previous cycle. A bunch of good candidates were interviewed - I was involved in interviewing them since I'm kind of a mainstay in the department although I'm not formally on the hiring committee since I'm not on the academic senate. The hiring committee's first choice (who was also my recommended first choice) declined, and the second candidate is someone who obtained both their B.S. and PhD. at this school and has been around as an adjunct professor for 5 years in the same department they graduated from, but has staked out their own research niche separate from their doctoral advisor. My department (where they are being hired) is different from the department they graduated from and are in currently. In my recommendation to the hiring committee after interviewing the candidates, I recommended this candidate as a tie for second choice with one other candidate. The hiring committee decided to go with them. I honestly don't think it's controversial based on my assessment from interviewing them and looking at their CV - they've been publishing a lot even though they don't have their own students, have brought in a bunch of grant money, and their focus area seems to be one that the department wants to inherit. There's the additional pressure to not have a second failed search in a row as well. However, the department vote to hire this person passed but just barely. The candidate's case was then approved by the chair and the provost, so the offer was made. The faculty who voted against them didn't accept the decision, however, so they lodged a protest with the academic senate. Further, they are trying to get support from other departments for preventing something like this from happening again by trying to get it formally written into the academic policy and procedures manual that applicants who obtained any of their degrees at the school are ineligible for consideration for any tenure-track position at the school. It's a lot of drama. I can see that some might not like it on principle and it'd be bad if their record was bad and they were hired anyway, but in this case their record was pretty strong relative to the other candidates. Fortunately I'm not internally involved (I'm non-TT and therefore not on the senate) but it's interesting to observe the magnitude of faculty reaction to this. I feel like if the candidate takes the offer, they'll have the deck stacked against them when going for tenure from the get-go. What do think about this?

The hiring committee's first choice (who was also my recommended first choice) declined, and the second candidate is someone who obtained both their B.S. and PhD. at this school and has been around as an adjunct professor for 5 years in the same department they graduated from, but has staked out their own research niche separate from their doctoral advisor. My department (where they are being hired) is different from the department they graduated from and are in currently. In my recommendation to the hiring committee after interviewing the candidates, I recommended this candidate as a tie for second choice with one other candidate. The hiring committee decided to go with them. I honestly don't think it's controversial based on my assessment from interviewing them and looking at their CV - they've been publishing a lot even though they don't have their own students, have brought in a bunch of grant money, and their focus area seems to be one that the department wants to inherit. There's the additional pressure to not have a second failed search in a row as well. However, the department vote to hire this person passed but just barely. The candidate's case was then approved by the chair and the provost, so the offer was made. The faculty who voted against them didn't accept the decision, however, so they lodged a protest with the academic senate. Further, they are trying to get support from other departments for preventing something like this from happening again by trying to get it formally written into the academic policy and procedures manual that applicants who obtained any of their degrees at the school are ineligible for consideration for any tenure-track position at the school. It's a lot of drama. I can see that some might not like it on principle and it'd be bad if their record was bad and they were hired anyway, but in this case their record was pretty strong relative to the other candidates. Fortunately I'm not internally involved (I'm non-TT and therefore not on the senate) but it's interesting to observe the magnitude of faculty reaction to this. I feel like if the candidate takes the offer, they'll have the deck stacked against them when going for tenure from the get-go. What do think about this?

Some faculty at my school are moving to formally prevent hiring of anyone who obtained degrees at the school into a TT position at that school. Thoughts? **TLDR**: I am an observer to an interesting development at my school. My engineering department at my school is going to hire someone into a TT position who obtained all of their degrees - B.S.and PhD. - at that school (albeit in a different engineering department), who (in my opinion from interviewing them) has a decently strong record. A group of faculty are highly against the decision on principle and lodged a protest in the academic senate, and they are moving to gain support from faculty in other departments to add a clause to the academic policy and procedures manual that anyone who obtained any of their degrees at the school is ineligible to be hired into any position in a tenure-track series at the school.

I honestly don't think it's controversial based on my assessment from interviewing them and looking at their CV - they've been publishing a lot even though they don't have their own students, have brought in a bunch of grant money, and their focus area seems to be one that the department wants to inherit. There's the additional pressure to not have a second failed search in a row as well. However, the department vote to hire this person passed but just barely. The candidate's case was then approved by the chair and the provost, so the offer was made. The faculty who voted against them didn't accept the decision, however, so they lodged a protest with the academic senate. Further, they are trying to get support from other departments for preventing something like this from happening again by trying to get it formally written into the academic policy and procedures manual that applicants who obtained any of their degrees at the school are ineligible for consideration for any tenure-track position at the school. It's a lot of drama. I can see that some might not like it on principle and it'd be bad if their record was bad and they were hired anyway, but in this case their record was pretty strong relative to the other candidates. Fortunately I'm not internally involved (I'm non-TT and therefore not on the senate) but it's interesting to observe the magnitude of faculty reaction to this. I feel like if the candidate takes the offer, they'll have the deck stacked against them when going for tenure from the get-go. What do think about this?

Some faculty at my school are moving to formally prevent hiring of anyone who obtained degrees at the school into a TT position at that school. Thoughts? **TLDR**: I am an observer to an interesting development at my school. My engineering department at my school is going to hire someone into a TT position who obtained all of their degrees - B.S.and PhD. - at that school (albeit in a different engineering department), who (in my opinion from interviewing them) has a decently strong record. A group of faculty are highly against the decision on principle and lodged a protest in the academic senate, and they are moving to gain support from faculty in other departments to add a clause to the academic policy and procedures manual that anyone who obtained any of their degrees at the school is ineligible to be hired into any position in a tenure-track series at the school. Curious what people's thoughts are on this. **Long version**: My department had a call for a TT position last fall, which was a repost of a position which had a failed search in the previous cycle. A bunch of good candidates were interviewed - I was involved in interviewing them since I'm kind of a mainstay in the department although I'm not formally on the hiring committee since I'm not on the academic senate. The hiring committee's first choice (who was also my recommended first choice) declined, and the second candidate is someone who obtained both their B.S. and PhD. at this school and has been around as an adjunct professor for 5 years in the same department they graduated from, but has staked out their own research niche separate from their doctoral advisor. My department (where they are being hired) is different from the department they graduated from and are in currently. In my recommendation to the hiring committee after interviewing the candidates, I recommended this candidate as a tie for second choice with one other candidate.

How many years of postdoc is necessary to be competitive for decent faculty positions in wet lab research fields? I'm starting my PhD soon and want to go down this route, however I see people that have done 6 year postdocs before starting their own lab, and I'd want to avoid that. Because I want to get on with my life and make a decent living sooner rather than later (I have tons of students loans from my masters) I'd hope that a 2 year postdoc would be long enough to be competitive for these professor jobs.

I'm a postdoc giving a talk this summer in front of leaders in my field. Is it okay to mention that I'm looking for a faculty job? This will be in front of a bunch of leaders in my field that would very likely be collaborators when I'm faculty somewhere. Would it come off as tacky to mention I'm looking for a job? What about just mentioning that my postdoc is almost over? We're going to a glam journal with the results I'm presenting if it matters.

Is a letter of recommendation from a postdoc irrelevant/redundant if another one of my letter writers is our advisor? Hi. I'm applying for CS PhD programs and am struggling to find a third letter writer. I've made a post here before regarding this topic about how a professor explicitly stated that "I don't know you well enough to write a detailed and strong letter, but if you absolutely need one I'd be happy to help." This has gotten me thinking that it may be a better idea to request a letter from a postdoc who I've worked with (one of my publications has me as the second author and him as the first). He's fairly well-connected in my subfield and also has a good track record (he already has a little over 700 citations). My only concern is that, well, he's not a professor. Aside from the concern about qualification, even in cases where postdocs write LoR's I've heard that it's commonplace for the advisor to "co-sign" it. However, in my case one of my letter writers is my advisor who this postdoc also happened to receive his PhD from earlier this year. Would this make my third letter a little irrelevant/redundant? Some people have also advised me that it may be better to request it from the other professor, as a less-detailed letter wouldn't necessarily be damaging to my application. Thanks.

When do I tell my advisor I don't want a postdoc? I am graduating in July with a PhD in biomedical science. When I joined grad school, I really wanted to chase an academic position. That's changed, for a variety of reasons. I am still coming to terms with this decision - lots of shame and grief. I have tried to give my advisor alerts along the way, but she is in denial. So are most of my mentors/friends/family, who think I should push forward with a postdoc. My advisor has a history of emotional abuse and retaliation. She has burned bridges with countless mentors, friends, and collaborators since I've been here. I am worried that if I tell her I am absolutely not interested in academia, she'll sabotage my job search, or worse, my graduation. (She already delayed my graduation a year.) Is it unethical to tell her that I'm applying to a mix of jobs, emphasizing the postdocs? Should I come clean after my defense? After my diploma is in hand? Is it unethical to actually apply for postdocs, even if I don't want one?
