Harvard University - Modern European History/Germany 19th and/or 20thC

 * "The candidate should offer significant expertise in German history of the 19th and/or 20th century and be prepared to participate in a program that emphasizes the teaching of social theory and social-science approaches. The new colleague will be responsible for teaching at the undergraduate level in Social Studies and at both the undergraduate and graduate levels in History as part of the joint appointment.

 * They're replacing a senior German specialist. Significant expertise probably means: do you have a prayer of filling his shoes?

 * Did you? It would seem early to me.
 * Rec'd request for additional materials on Sept. 10. Have not yet heard back (today is Sept. 25) about interviews.
