Help candidates on the market by signing up for a mock interview. It doesn't cost you much time, but it can help candidates tremendously!

Rejection is one of the toughest parts about academia and this post provides some great guidance on how to deal with it (that I will start trying to follow myself).

Here's a couple of thoughts that the post triggered, if those happen to be of interest:

🚨 New paper out!

Very happy to see our (Tom Arend, @fabioellger.bsky.social and mine) paper out at the @bjpols.bsky.social.

We explore how voters react to new, disruptive political actors.

Despite everything else going on, France last night honoured Robert Badinter, the former justice minister who ended the death penalty in 🇫🇷 in 1981. He entered the Panthéon in a moving moment of national tribute that the French do so well

Sublime Text - the sophisticated text editor for code, markup and prose Available on Mac, Windows and Linux

You can download your files from Overleaf and move them to Sublime Text. It requires some adjustments to get everything right (such as packages, etc.), but it’s worth it, assuming you don’t need to share the project with co-authors www.sublimetext.com

I agree with Charlotte, but I'd add the Max Weber Fellowship to the list. I cannot emphasize how great the programme is (research, networking, quality of life, social life, etc). The deadline is a month before the IAST's fellowship: www.eui.eu/apply?id=max...

Uprooted Cambridge Core - Comparative Politics - Uprooted

In a moment when the narrative has swung so far to the other end, this book by Volha Charnysh is more important than ever.

It shows the displacement of people historically fostered state capacity, private entrepreneurship, and long-term economic performance.

I'm looking for someone UK-based with web-scraping skills who can scrape a substantial amount of data for me from the French parliamentary website in exchange for a fixed (negotiable) one-off fee.  French language skills are not essential as full instructions will be provided. 1/2

Are you interested in how parties' parliamentary behavior (e.g., passing bills, calling for elections, forming coalitions, cooperating/conflicting) affects voters (e.g., electoral behavior, perceptions, affective polarization)? Please let me know. I am putting together an MPSA panel proposal.

Je suis un peu à la ramasse sur l’actu politique française, j’essaie de me rattraper et je découvre seulement aujourd’hui cette perle : Bayrou qui balance sur le “confort des boomers”. On fait ça quand on n’a aucune élection en ligne de mire

Something political science would benefit bigly from: World Politics style multi-book review articles where none of the books are written by political scientists. For example: one on “zones” featuring @atossaaraxia.bsky.social, Slobodian, etc. Let’s bring new stuff into the field!

"First, please please please let’s move on from the Harry Potter references."

Kevin Munger is the best. Period.

His response to the Economist article is great:

My problem with this (weird) article from @economist.com on the EUI is that I just don't get the jokes. It's all Harry Potter metaphors, and I'm as familiar with Harry Potter as I am with Star Wars: not at all
