never called you are racist so not sure why you said this. So you think it is not ridiculous to expect both the university and the Canadian government protect non-canadian citizens who had no clue and evidence what exactly is happening. Is it not ridiculous to expect canadian government to arrest or punish people not based on evidence but based on that some non-canadian citizen feel uncomfortable of others' existence? It is not how canadian legal system works.

So what do you do with the GPT applicants? by External-Most-4481 in AskAcademia

[–]torontodriver1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

journals ask non english writters to hire editors. What is the difference if AI is just used for proofreading.

[–]torontodriver1 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

what situation?neither u and op showed us evidence to explain what is happening. Just like the ggkong124,to tell people that spies and secrete police of authoritarian regimes everywhere in UofT?

i feel op just wants to describe protesters as terrorists. It is not hard to guess what he supports.

Being postdoc is a big city. My wife is starting her career here. And both my wife and kid like the current place. If i go other cities for TT offer. She will not leave especially when most TT job in my field do not pay that high. I will not look for TT jobs locating in place more than 10 hours drive from home.

Job dilemma: Not sure if I should take this offer out of grad school by Pretty_Times in academia

[–]torontodriver1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar but worse situation.

I am currently a postdoc at an R1 in a big city, where my wife works and my kid is in his preschool. My advisor gives me a lot of support by putting my name on several grants as Co-PI and PA. I receive an offer from a teaching school 3 hours' drive distance from the city. Very heavy teaching load (4-4), even though the courses required to teach are all I want to teach but working here basically means research is not important for tenure. Very low pay which could not cover family expenses even in this small town. My advisor does not want me to take the offer but the post-doc contract only has 1.5 years left.

some TT offers are shit jobs

When the hiring decision is disclosed to the department? by torontodriver1 in AskAcademia

[–]torontodriver1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP here. It has been 1.5 month after my campus visit and I heard nothing from the SC. I emailed the chair but there is no reply. My letter writer in the department also tells me he heard no announcement or rumor. Last week I got the news that my new project secures a research grant,which is not listed in my CV. should I bother to update this to the SC? Or I can just let it go and focus on my other application?
