Call for Directors
Academic Philosophy Data and Analysis, a long running project that collects and analyzes data on graduate experience and employment outcomes for philosophy PhDs, is seeking to expand its leadership. We aim to expand from 1 to 3 directors over the next few months. Applications from candidates with experience in quantitative and qualitative methods are preferred. If you have an interest in joining this project please reach out to apda@ucmerced.edu by August 31st, 2025. Please include a note about why you are interested in joining the project, your background experience with projects of this type, and what you hope to bring to the project, including any changes or additions you would like to see happen over the next year. Data gathering and a new survey are planned for Fall 2025, and the new directors will be included in this process. Minimal commitment includes taking part in the biennial data gathering and survey effort as well as attending twice yearly meetings with the Board of Advisors (one in October, one in March).
