Weekly search status and update
by Ali R. Butt 11 Jan '21

11 Jan '21

Good morning: Thank you all for continuing to evaluate the incoming applications. There are 97 applications submitted as of 11/29. I have reviewed them all and have added about half of them to the evaluation googlesheet. There are ~38 applications that need your attention. I suggest catching up on those by the end of the week if not earlier. The number is likely to pick up faster in the coming weeks. Since, there are a lot more Data/AI/ML/NLP applications than others, I suggest Chris/Anuj/Hoda distribute them among themselves. Thank you, -ali Application evaluation spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1A1mPyUZJcK7FMeNjzyt5UgdU2HZj4oPAveC… Process: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rYguTyS1xVFYZwjrfWOksCXxLtt4cNwE5N5pZiV…

Re: [CSSEARCH2021] Weekly update and request for timely feedback on a diversity candidate

Thanks to those who have replied. I’d like to hear from the rest of you about support or concern re. Chris Brown. > * Diversity candidate > > Chris Brown (Dwayne Brown, Jr.) visited us via zoom earlier in the semester as part of the Provost’s Future Faculty Development Program. He has also formally applied to our position. Matt and Dimitris have evaluated the application, and their feedback coupled with the feedback from FFDP visit is positive. There is also strong interest and support from the university to engage him further. I discussed with Cal, and while there are some finer details to this, we can safely assume that this will not count towards our regular slots. Based on this, I am hoping to recommend to Cal to invite Chris for the full interview. Please provide your thoughts and feedback.
