Academic Job Market


This is a screen capture from the HR link on my university site:

The abundance of term-only positions - where profs get little pay, shitty benefits and ridiculous workloads - is depressing. I want to apologize to my academic brethren because working in this environment has *got* to suck, and I'm sorry the economy is terrible enough that these positions still garner hundreds upon hundreds of applications. Gah.
