Etiquette for publicizing postdoc position What is the etiquette for publicizing your postdoc decision on your professional website once you've accepted a position?
I've seen people write something like &quot;Starting in Fall 2020, I will be an X Instructor/Fellow/Researcher at Y University&quot; on their website but I don't know when these kinds of public statements typically go up. Are you supposed to wait until late in the process when most people know where they'll end up? Or if you're lucky enough to get a position early, is it ok to post then?
I'm specifically interested in comments relevant to math positions, but I'm assuming the etiquette is similar throughout STEM.
You are unlikely to offend a reasonable person by revealing you got a job.  So I would say there is not an etiquette beyond avoiding excessive boasting.  Don't talk about how you are better than the people who did not get the job.  Don't talk about how your job is better than other people's jobs.  You probably knew that.
This is not etiquette, but:  If you get a job &quot;early&quot; it is in your interest to keep it secret for a while.  A lot of people think that &quot;I have a new job starting in September&quot; is the same as &quot;I am leaving tomorrow.&quot;  They will quit contacting you and quit collaborating with you because they are confused.  You will constantly have to answer questions about why you are still around.
