As a postdoc on the job market, I've been worried about the impact of ongoing funding/policy uncertainties on faculty positions. So I decided to compare the progression of faculty jobs this cycle to previous years based on positions posted to eswnonline.org/online/earth...

I definitely understand the whole "only candidates who are selected to move on in the process will be contacted" thing. But if I have to make a government/state/provincial account to even submit an application, there should be a portal where I can check application status.

I’m talking to another person who was barred from the US Antarctic Program because they go to “mental health counseling” (thus, USAP doesn’t consider them “stable”). The NSF has done nothing—nada—to reform that program. My rage is incandescent. 🔥
