Does anyone know of industrial or academic hiring freezes?
Here's an enormous list of academic institutions which are undergoing a hiring freeze, by Karen Kelsky of The Professor Is In.
I haven't heard too many rumblings from industrial organizations, but I imagine we'll hear about this after industrial quarterly results start rolling in this month. Please comment below or e-mail in (confidentiality guaranteed) at chemjobber@gmail.com.

I know at least three R1s that announced an academic hiring freeze. I work in one of them as a postdoc and we all received an email from our university administration regarding a hiring freeze and a salary freeze for faculty and managerial staff. My offer fell through in the beginning of February (I was on the job market). The entire situation does not look good.
ReplyDeleteI am another academic researcher. Our extension with regard to RO1 did not materialize and adding to that covid 19 upended it. I am told that I do not have my job effective 05/01/2020. The worse is that because am paid by soft grant, my university informed me that I do not qualify for severance package! I worked for nearly 11 years in academia. Just filed for unemployment. I worry for America's future and that this pandemic has upset all calculation of everyone. With 4 yeas removed from my retirement, how I wish I was in my fifties or retired. This shall too pass.

ReplyDeleteHiring freeze at my university. PhD in chemistry but do work in immunology as a post/perma-doc. That may be the only reason I keep my job, as the university wants the nCOVID-19 grant money. Lot of people in the hospital in the clinical departments are losing their jobs because there is a 50% drop in patient volume due to delay of nonCOVD treatments. And I thought my job was less secure than theirs.
ReplyDeleteIs there any list including the places that are still hiring this and next year?
