I know this can vary from department to department but in general how long does it take for a search committee to decide on a short-list of candidates once the deadline for submission has passed?

This is so variable; throw-in Covid so lots of stuff is done by email rather than in person, and who knows? – ZeroTheHero Dec 07 '21 at 01:03

1In my experience, hiring timelines are much more variable than people tell me they are. – Anonymous Physicist Dec 07 '21 at 01:05

@physicist It may be hard to give an objective answer, but I don't think the question is a duplicate and I am interested to see any additional possible responses. – Taw Dec 07 '21 at 07:24

Please remember that in the 90% of the cases deadlines are absolutely arbitrary. – EarlGrey Dec 07 '21 at 09:25

I believe this is a matter of weeks normally: from within one week to a month or two tops.
There is a need to have a meeting to agree on the candidates, and the committee members need to look at the candidates beforehand, which can amount to hundreds of initial candidates.
