Subject: Request for Participation in Survey on Academic Job Rejection Letters

 
We’re conducting a research study of academic job rejection letters. The goals
of the study are to explore how current trends in letter construction relate
to letter recipients’ reactions and to best practices. The results of the
study might help academic departments construct more effective rejection
letters. In doing so, this study seeks to contribute to a more humane job
market in academia. 

We need participants to complete a brief online survey. If you are an academic
job seeker who has been on the market at any point during the last five years
and have received a rejection letter from at least one school, please consider
completing the survey at the following link:

https://fiu.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_9poLaU9xS0TtU4B

The survey will take approximately five minutes to complete. All answers will
remain anonymous and you will be asked to anonymize any information you
submit. 

Your participation in this research is completely voluntary, and you may stop
the survey at any time. You will not be penalized or lose benefits if you
refuse to participate or decide to stop. 

If you have any questions about participation or would like information about
the findings, you may contact Luke Thominet at (305) 348-2203 or at
lthomine at fiu.edu.
