      As far as I can tell this is real. I mean this job is listed on a real UCLA page. Amazing.https://twitter.com/DrBrookeNewman/status/1504974567361687554 …

      Is this a joke?? “The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at UCLA seeks applications for an Assistant Adjunct Professor on a without salary basis. Applicants must understand there will be no compensation for this position.” https://recruit.apo.ucla.edu/JPF04991

      What's sad is that it will be worth it to someone independently wealthy to take this job just to bolster their credentials. And it may pay off in some way. Someone who is poor and needs the paycheck can't compete.

      Academia, like journalism, will become increasingly closed off to the working class or even middle class. It's going to lead to a dark future.

          In many fields, an internship during college is an essential qualification for a full-time job. Historically, interns were unpaid, which closed off this avenue of advancement for the poor. Now some internships pay, but not enough of them.

          I remember the first time I learned about unpaid internships, & how my disapproval of the idea was met with sage derision for my naïveté. So I was naive. But those seniors could take those internships & I had no idea how I ever could.
