I put this on FB today; I was asked to share it off FB for those who have left that platform for their mental health. I can get behind that, so here is a special post. It will not include updates, which I’m doing on the FB post, and are also arriving in comments from readers there.

The list of schools that I have been told have reported hiring freezes is below, and continues in the comment thread. *I cannot vouch for the accuracy or specifics of this information for every institution listed.* Please note hiring freezes can take different forms; many will be honoring any verbal offers already extended, but not all.

I was just told my postdoc will be pulled because of a hiring freeze at UMass Amherst
I’m so sorry.
Here is the live and updated list – cold comfort I know. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KohP4xZdN8BZy1OMeXCAGagswvUOWpOws72eDKpBhI4/edit?usp=sharing
The TT job I completed a campus visit for just cancelled the position too
Your grant should pay for that or request a supplement.
Purdue CS will continue to interview and hire.
Please update the list online!
I have an offer in the working from Clemson… They have told me the official letter on its way and nothing about the hiring freeze. Hopefully, they’ll honor it.
I have been told the same thing by Clemson. I also still have not seen a contract or completed a background check. I am hoping this goes through.
FYI: Brown (at the top of the list) is allowing some hires on external money (like certain postdocs) and many faculty searches are allowed to continue interviewing (like in my department, CS).
Please add this note to the doc!~
I have just had a TT job search suspended at a Cal State school. I was one of three finalists. Other zoom or phone interviews are cancelling on me. These are positions that I otherwise might not apply for. I read the article in highered stating these freezes could last until next year.
Is anyone else in this situation? What are your plans?
I’m on the same shoe and completely shocked! I would appreciate suggestions on what next!
Northwestern University announced a “hiring pause” due to COVID-19…this decision translates to allowing hiring only for those paid entirely via research grant funding. This new rule doesn’t (currently) apply to incoming PhD students who receive non-sponsored funding.
No staff hires (neither new nor back fill), with internal transfers also negated.
Faculty hires have all deferred (in my school) to next year.
University of Southern California on April 3. All new faculty/staff positions
I was the finalist of a TT job in Emory University. But, they cancelled the position now.
Notre Dame has only a staff hiring freeze accoridng to memo
update the doc.
Dartmouth College implemented a hiring freeze and it may last through December.
add to the list.
