Visitors are like fish?
Three days and they start to stink?
I just saw a posting for a Visiting Assistant Professor position in Portland, OR. I've been to Portland. I liked Portland. I could totally see myself living in Portland. They are happy to interview applicants such as myself who are ABD, so long as there's a reasonable expectation of graduation within a year. And they want a policy person. So, like, yeah, totally has my name written all over it.
Except - it's a Visiting position. That means subbing for someone on sabbatical. I wonder if they anticipate openings. Cuz let's face it, moving across the country for one year with no chance of renewal ain't my idea of an ideal situation. Unless I win the lottery.
