The 2016-2017 Job Market is upon us! A hearty welcome back to some, warm greetings to others, and condolences to all. Let us hope that this year's market continues the slight improvement we saw last year.   This site, now in its ninth year, was originally modeled after the successful sociology job search "blog" (the 2008-2009 iteration of which can be found here ).
