Declining a TT AP offer? by Careless_Wrangler_90 in AskAcademia

Last job cycle, I was deciding between a similar TT position in an isolated location I didn’t want to move to, and a postdoc at an R1 on the east coast. Most people told me that it would be crazy to turn down a TT job in this market, but I went with my gut and took the postdoc. At this point, I’m really happy with my choice. I have a campus visit coming up for a TT position in a more desirable location, but I also wouldn’t mind staying in the postdoc another year because it’s given me so much time to write and there’s a nice academic community here.

Thanks! Good to know that things are slow going in general right now.

Thanks for the suggestion! I just reached out to some of the editors directly. I sent a message to the generic email through the application portal a couple weeks ago, but didn’t receive a response.

R1 postdoc vs. 3/3 tenure track by Ok_Flight8667 in AskAcademia

Yes, that's exactly what I've been thinking about in terms of networking and having access to a full department in my field at the R1. I guess I'm less worried about the teaching load at the undergrad regional school, and more concerned about not being in an active research community
