A Timeline for a Job Search in Mathematics - LATE NOVEMBER/EARLY DECEMBER

  1. E-mail all the schools, and let them know that you will be attending the Joint Mathematics Meeting, including the time and location of your talk or poster, and ask for an interview. This is a good follow-up from sending your application and brings your name to their attention even if they do not conduct interviews at the meeting.  (Warning: Some schools do not communicate well by e-mail, so don't be discouraged if you don't hear back.)  Also, some (possibly many!) will contact you at the last minute.
  2. The deadline for the Project NExT /YMN Poster Session is in early December. You don't have to be a member of either of these organizations, and acceptance rates are high.  Read the latest issue of the YMN newsletter, Concerns of Young Mathematicians, or search the meeting web page for submission information.
