how many tenure track positions are hiring these days? I have the impression that they are pretty rare anyway.

- ceejayoz 3y agoSubstantially more than "zero".
- some-guy 3y agoMy wife just got one straight out of her PhD, but it's not super common unless you're 1) very cutthroat competitive and 2) willing to move far (in our case, 5 hours from the Bay Area).
- rhaway84773 3y agoIt’s not just about tenure though. It’s the fact that the people who have the power to control everything about the public universities in Texas have shown that they will damage them, specifically by targeting faculty. Even if I’m a non-tenure track faculty member I would probably require a Texas university to offer a significant premium over a competing offer from a CA university, for example, before I decide to establish my career there.
