When is it too early to look for an academic job? 1 year out is that too far? Thanks in advance.

It's never too early to express interest and get some information. We usually start the interviews in Nov. It's too early for the department to determine expected staffing needs for 15 months from now though.

Cheers!

You should start gather info this summer, and start sending out inquiries by late September through October, to have interviews set up by November-December.

It won't hurt to contact them early if they're advertising a position. Tell them when you'll be done with fellowship. Academic places often move at a glacial pace when it comes to getting contracts together, etc.
