The market will be tough this year. For our senior position, we had about 50% more applications than last year. While the number is still not massive (two digits), the quality of the shortlist is impressive (and I am glad not to be on the market!)
New data on the #EconJobMarket as of Nov 2. Based on total # of job listings on JOE, this year continues to be even weaker (by 11%) than during COVID (2020). 1/many #EconSky

I’m really starting to suspect that most of the tech bros haven’t actually read Tolkien, as they certainly don’t understand it.
The gentle hobbits save the “hard men” of Gondor, largely through compassion and selflessness. Not the other way around. The Christian parable is barely hidden!

Once more for the people in the back: you cannot ask people to pay many £1000s upfront for the *privilege* of *temporarily* coming to work and pay taxes in this country, give them nothing particularly unique in return, and expect that to be a sustainable situation.
that the upfront costs to come and do scientific research in the UK are too high is a well known terrible fact.
perhaps more surprising is that scientific excellence has persisted despite all these hurdles, but this limping cannot go on forever. Soon this fun immigration experiment will break.

When I bring up the fact that most replications are uninformative and unjustifiable by design, hence we should instead do better research, I always get the same argument back and I'd like to think through this reasoning carefully.

When applying for a job at (full) professor level, what would a "job market paper" mean, as a component of the application?
The term makes more sense for an entry-level position, when a newly-minted PhD (or ABD student) only has unpublished papers.
For prof job, just give them published articles?

Highland cattle are famous for their ability to "disco nap". Normally these brief, efficient sleeps will last between three and twenty minutes, deploying a variety of objects as pillows, including moorland boulders, cars or any particularly large dog or sheep who happens to be nearby.

tbt the time a drunk was trying to insult one of the bouncers on the high street and got the devastating response "oh look, someone who doesn't matter has said something that isn't true". I often think about this when not replying to tweets
