SB10482 Posted February 26 Posted February 26 My understanding is that results rarely get released on Fridays (usually because the results roll out post-business hours. So if late February is correct, that would be today. So my guess is either today, or March 31... WW. 1
CSAC Posted February 26 Posted February 26 I read that SSHRC's website will be down for a few hours today... So tonight? I am a bit dismayed because the agent that had responded to me last week had mentioned an email by the end of (last) week or the beginning of (this) week. Anyway, we can only wait out and try not to procrastinate too much... WW. and SB10482 2
cba Posted February 26 Posted February 26 fwiw - theyve come out by end of feb every year - feb 24 last year
SB10482 Posted February 26 Posted February 26 I thought it was Feb 26 last year, which was a Wednesday, but I could be wrong!!
cba Posted February 26 Posted February 26 (edited) Correction - feb. 26 lol Edited February 26 by cba
WW. Posted February 26 Posted February 26 It was Feb. 28th in 2024 I think. Let's hope the schedule isn't affected by the new system. LeilaNewSeason 1

bluetopaz Posted February 26 Posted February 26 Just waiting here with all of you. As hard as this is, it's nice to know I'm not the only one going through it. It's such a long wait and I know they gave that March 31st date, but I was really hoping for something earlier so I can plan my life either way. misplacedcontent, WW., jakeadam and 2 others 5
Roasted Posted February 26 Posted February 26 would the results arrive via the same page as submission? In other words this webpage: https://webapps.nserc.ca/SSHRC/faces/logon.jsp
WW. Posted February 26 Posted February 26 No, you'll get a link to Extranet in the email announcing that your results are ready, I believe. It's a separate portal. bluetopaz 1
appleandpear Posted February 26 Posted February 26 The link to extranet is here (or at least this was last year's): https://influence2.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/sites/700000/1028/?lang=en You can also just find it by googling sshrc extranet. It will not let you log in or request a new password until the day that results are released typically. On that day, youll get an email where you'll have to reset your password to access the results. Last year, I got my email around 5PM EST but others started to post their results a bit earlier than that. misplacedcontent and LeilaNewSeason 2
bluetopaz Posted February 26 Posted February 26 I have access to the extranet website because I went through the SSHRC doctoral process. At that time, it was a bit of a mess. I got my email around after midnight and the website was overwhelmed and not working well. I gave up trying that night and finally got my results later the next morning. Anyway, appleandpear is correct - when they email, they provide information for how to access results. The email itself does not provide that information.

If they can release the results in Feb, it will be so much easier to get things planned for next year, especially a possible move. Hopefully we will hear something tmrw! Good luck to everyone.

CSAC Posted February 27 Posted February 27 (edited) Two years ago I think, the e-mails were sent at about 10:40 pm EST.. I hope we'll know by the end of the week, it's too much stress. Good luck indeed! Edited February 27 by CSAC
thunderbaby Posted February 27 Posted February 27 Hi everyone - I emailed SSHRC this morning to ask about when we will receive the results. This was their response: "The results of the competition will be sent electronically via the SSHRC extranet. You will receive an e-mail with instructions once the official results for the competition are available. We anticipate that the results will be available early next week." So it sounds like we will find out next week. Fingers crossed! Good luck to us all! diegoab, misplacedcontent, WW. and 1 other 4

Since then, though, I’ve landed a tenure-track position at a mid- to lower-tier institution. Now I’m wondering how seriously I should weigh my options if I do receive the SSHRC postdoc, or whether I should just hold onto the tenure-track job, given that those are often seen as the golden ticket. One thing I’ve been thinking about is whether having held a postdoc might make it easier to secure future SSHRC grant funding as a faculty member. I’m also wondering whether it would be strategically worthwhile to leave my current position and take up the postdoc at a top-tier university, with the hope of later landing a tenure-track job at a more research-intensive institution. I created an account just to reply to this. Absolutely do not give up a tenure-track job in favour of a postdoc. Holding a postdoc will not increase your odds of landing SSHRC later, and you will have greater access to funding application support within your institution. The mid- to lower-tier institution has very little overall impact on what we do as scholars. You still publish, teach, and try to positively impact society in whatever area you're in. The main difference between a larger and smaller institution is that there is more available in the way of research staff support services but those are not absent in a smaller university. What matters more is the collegiality of colleagues (something often much stronger at smaller institutions) and a general desire to see everyone succeed (something lacking in larger institutions). So overall, and especially given the very limited and declining job market, do not give up a job. You're also in a stronger position on the job market should you see an opportunity elsewhere. A postdoc is great if you haven't held a TT-position, but someone applying for a job who HAS held a TT-position will always be seen as a more desirable hire than someone coming from a postdoc, if all else is relatively equal.

diegoab Posted March 2 Posted March 2 I think today or tomorrow based on nothing other than my own impatience SB10482, bluetopaz and WW. 3
SB10482 Posted March 2 Posted March 2 today! today today! I can't believe how incredibly stressed I am about this.
