In addition to the article itself, there is a text-to-speech version for students with disabilities, as well as a collection of relevant teaching resources - you can see them on the article’s page. SJK will also be producing a Spanish version and a short video highlighting the teaching resources.

yeah totally forgot to specify by application (otherwise it’s def reasonable)

realizing now that i didn’t specify *to apply* in my original post — totally understand that you’d need the phd by the time you start

this makes sense for sure, definitely hard to plan around — thanks for the advice!

that was my understanding too, but recently it’s been about 50/50 for requiring a phd to even apply (hence the frustration for graduating phds)

which is even harder under the context of the current administration and job market

i understand that completely, but that puts ABD phd candidates in a realllllly tough position that basically forces them to be without a job at the end of the phd (which is especially hard after 5-6 years of living under the living wage)

yeah it’s definitely a hard place to be. i don’t want to graduate until i know i have a job lined up, but some of these jobs won’t even let me apply if i am not already graduated 😭

grad students are so lowly paid we barely live paycheck to paycheck, having a degree requirement for postdocs basically only allows for privileged students who can take some months off to apply to those jobs
