Kershaw, Chair, Search Committee, pjk3p@virginia.edu.
 * Review begins 5 Dec. 2014
 * Same position advertised two years ago; offers were made but declined so search failed. Better luck this time?
 * From last time: "Salary actually wasn't too bad ($70K); offer declined for better one elsewhere. Bigger problems had to do with the teaching load/mix; restricted opportunities for grad teaching and mentoring; some depts. were better/worse than others (one dept. didn't even allow its faculty to teach a grad. level class more than once every three years). Worryingly TA support didn't seem to be gauranteed despite the large class sizes, some profs. complained they had to do all the grading for their large surveys classes themselves."

 * They sent an email to all of last year's applicants, telling us not to update our materials. That says to me they're not interested in any of us, they only want shiny new PhDs.
 * (10/30), truly though, all earned PhDs acquire a bit of tarnishing in the getting.
 * Re: above: I don't know who you are, but I love you.

 * Halloween and we're still waiting for that job ad. Maybe it's cancelled?
 * still nothing, or am I missing something?

 * Intend to interview 25 Feb.
 * (12/17) I'm curious: what are the odds of succeeding, or at least getting an interview, with a PhD from a U.S. school?  I know there are significant differences between the U.S. and British higher education systems; do the Brits tend to prefer their own (post)grads as a better fit for the academic culture there?  And on a more practical level, is there a requirement that British citizens receive preference in hiring?  Thanks.
 * I've answered this question on the Talk:European_History_2014-15 page, as it's relevant to multiple postings. AFII (talk) 16:27, December 17, 2014 (UTC)

 * Deadline: 3 Nov. 2014
 * It looks like they already have a medievalist. Anybody know why they want another? Is he leaving?
 * My sense is the present medievalist looks busy with administrative duties, and might have aspirations there; the thing to note here is that they have a visiting professor whose specialty is in medieval Europe--going to be hard to wrestle this one away
 * (From SC member): The current tenured medievalist is indeed associate dean and his primary responsibilites are not in the history department.  Yes, there is a VAP in medieval Europe but this is not an inside search; all applications are receiving full consideration.

 * Usual to see a non-TT position advertised so early. Any rumors on what they're thinking?
 * Interviewing (prearranged only) at AHA per AHA's Job Center Handout: http://www.historians.org/Documents/Annual/2015/15JC_Handout.pdf

Davidson College (USA: NC) - Medieval/Early Modern European History and Digital Studies

 * Tenure-track assistant professor of History and Digital Studies, with a specialization in Medieval or Early Modern European History.
 * Teaching Load: 5 courses/year (reduced to four courses in the first year) "shared between the History Department and the Digital Studies Program."
 * The ideal candidate will have teaching and research experience in Medieval, Renaissance, Reformation, and/or Early Modern European History and will have completed a Ph.D. in History (or a History-related discipline) by August 1, 2015.

 * Deadline: 1 Nov. 2014
 * Anyone heard any rumors as to what they're looking for? It looks like they already have a medievalist, and a department this size probably doesn't need two.
 * IIRC, the website said they had a Mellon grant to expand the digital studies program.  So I'd guess they need a digital studies person and decided they'd rather have a medieval/early modern one than add another modernist to the dept.
 * The current medievalist is retiring next year; this position presumably replaces him and at the same time adds a digital humanities element to the college.
 * Invitation for AHA interview (11/25) x2
 * Official notification of not making the cut. Very considerate of them to actually send out notices. x2

Loyola University, Chicago (USA:IL) - pref. history of Christianity

 * Tenure track assistant professorship of Medieval/Early Modern European History, to begin Aug. 2015
 * Applicants should have a Ph.D. in History when they begin their appointment and exhibit a strong potential for excellence in teaching and research, with expertise in late Medieval or Early Modern continental History, with a preference for the History of Christianity
 * As a Jesuit Catholic institution of higher education, we seek candidates who will contribute to our strategic plan to deliver a Transformative Education in the Jesuit tradition
 * The successful candidate will demonstrate the ability to teach graduate and upper-level undergraduate courses in Late Medieval (1200-1500) or Early Modern (1500-1800) continental History. The successful candidate will also be expected to provide History classes on Medieval World and Medieval Culture if a Medievalist; and the Reformation, Europe in Transition to Modern Times 1450-1648 and the Age of Absolutism and Enlightenment if an Early Modernist.  The successful candidate will teach additional classes that will be cross-listed with the programs in English, Philosophy and Theology; teach in LUC's Core Curriculum; and pursue a successful program of research.
 * Applicants should submit a current Curriculum Vitae, a teaching statement/research agenda, and a letter of interest outlining the candidate’s qualifications to www.careers.luc.edu/applicants/Central?quickFind=57581 .  Candidates should provide the names and email addresses of three individuals prepared to speak to their professional qualifications for this position, especially in terms of scholarship, and graduate and undergraduate teaching and mentorship; and upload additional materials related to teaching excellence and samples of scholarly publications.  Referees will not be contacted immediately but might be requested to submit a letter at subsequent points in the review process
 * Review begins immediately [ad posted 28 Oct.] and continues until position filled
 * (H-net ad indicates 1 Dec. as hard deadline.)
 * What do you think is meant by "teaching statement/research agenda"? Two separate documents, either/or, or one that combines both?
 * To above: It's anyone's gues what they "meant," but know that committees are often most impressed by candidates who show trajectory of teaching and research agendas, and especially interconnectedness between the two.
 * It's the document where you demonstrate that you can cover three, preferably four continents, in your teaching and you are willing and able to maintain a world-class research agenda with a subpar library and an eye-watering pay scale.
 * Have they short-listed?
 * This strikes me as kind of a late posting. I didn't see it when I was applying to other jobs at the beginning of this cycle. I just submitted my application yesterday. Is there any reason to think that it is too late to apply?


 * Contacted for AHA interview (12/5)
 * Congratulations! May I ask when you applied?
 * Early November - about a week after the ad appeared.
 * Has anyone else been contacted about an AHA interview?

 * Request for phone interview 10/31 (x1)
 * Rejection email 11/6. (I did not have a phone interview and am an outlier on their desired subfield.) (x3)
 * Also received rejection email 11/6 my specialty is Britain and British Empire (19th c)
 * So,have they short-listed and interviewed? I haven't received anything at all - no rejection email, no request for phone interview.
 * x3. Quite puzzling. (Wondering if they're working in batches, or something?) <-That would make sense.
 * Have any candidates interviewed by phone heard anything yet? [11/25]
 * On campus interview scheduled
 * Is it normal to hear absolutely nothing, when others have had phone interview requests and on campus visit requests and others have been rejected? Are they interviewing at AHA?
 * Unfortunately, it is normal to hear nothing while a search progresses. If they have selected candidates for on-campus interviews before AHA, then I can't imagine a situation in which they would back things up and interview at AHA.

Northwestern University (USA: IL) - (excl. Britain & France)

 * tenure track assistant professorship in Early Modern European History, 1500-1800, not including historians who work exclusively on Britain or France, to begin September 2015
 * Candidates interested in transnational history are encouraged to apply
 * A letter of application, CV, writing sample (no longer than an article or dissertation chapter), and three letters of recommendation (sent separately) must be submitted electronically via the link on our departmental website at http://www.history.northwestern.edu/
 * Deadline: 15 Oct. 2014.
 * NB: This post was advertised last year but failed as far as I know (as of late March 2014 all campus visit candidates had been rejected). The wording has changed slightly in terms of now excluding anyone who works 'exclusively on Britain or France', but last year's finalists did not work exclusively on these, either.
 * Did anybody get a response yet? Did they start interviewing?
 * Northwestern doesn't usually do interviews--they just ask for further materials and then invite people to campus.
 * I was asked for further material. But a colleague told me it is just a game. They have a preferred candidate.
 * What geographic field were they actually looking for?
 * I have it on good authority that no one has been asked for further materials yet. I guess I shouldn't be shocked that someone would post something untrue on an anonymous wiki, but I'm still surprised.
 * Any news?
 * Request for additional materials Nov 17 X2
 * Phone call with chair of search committee. They have a preferred candidate. I am not her. Would I like to proceed?
 * I read this as bad English for "They offered me an interview, but you guys are saying there is a preferred candidate. Should I proceed? Is it worth it?" They are asking us for advice, not spreading disinformation. It's pretty goddamn unlikely that they would call anyone and say they had a preferred candidate. Relax, people. Jesus. And YES, you should proceed.
 * I don't think I understand: the chair called you, told you that they have a preferred candidate, that you are not the preferred candidate, and asked you if you would like to proceed anyway (i.e. have an on-campus interview knowing that they have a preferred candidate that isn't you)? Wow!
 * The penultimate post is disinformation.  There was no phone call and there is no preferred candidate.
 * Sounds like disinformation to me. On the other hand, they did fail their search last year. Maybe there is disagreement on the committee.
 * So can anyone confirm that the search has indeed progressed: that people have been contacted and asked for additional materials; have been invited for long-list/skype interviews; have been invited for campus interviews; received a rejection letter. Anything?
 * I heard that the committee is now reading additional materials (dissertations and book manuscripts).
 * Official rejection email (12/16), saying that they have now selected finalists, but haven't made an offer yet (x3).
 * Rejection e-mail said they received 102 applications.
 * So has anyone recieved an interview request yet? I was asked for more materials and didn't recieve a rejection email, but haven't heard anything since the materials request.

University of British Columbia (CAN: BC)

 * Tenure track assistant professorship in the history of early modern Europe, expected start date 1 July 2015
 * The department is interested in candidates who focus on the history of western or central Europe during the period 1450-1700. All applications are welcome, but preference will be given to scholars whose work complements and expands on the department’s existing strengths.
 * Candidates must possess a Ph.D. (or provide solid indication of imminent completion), and they should provide evidence of excellence in research, as demonstrated by their published contributions or by potential contributions to the scholarship of their field.
 * Teaching Load: 12-credits (2/2) " a strong commitment to teaching excellence at the undergraduate as well as graduate level also is required. In addition to offering courses within his or her area of specialization, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to contribute to the university’s interdisciplinary undergraduate program teaching lower division courses in European History, 1500 to the present and/or the global history of the period of 1500-1900. For further information on the academic programs of the UBC history department, candidates should visit the departmental website, http://www.history.ubc.ca, as well as its page on “Research Clusters,” http://www.history.ubc.ca/clusters/thematic."
 * UBC hires on the basis of merit and is strongly committed to employment equity and diversity within its community. We especially welcome applications from visible minority group members, women, aboriginal persons, persons with disabilities, persons of minority sexual orientations and gender identities, and others with the skills and knowledge to engage productively with diverse communities. We encourage all qualified persons to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents of Canada will be given priority.
 * Applicants must apply only through the UBC faculty careers website, http://www.facultycareers.ubc.ca/18834
 * The closing date for the receipt of applications is 15 Oct 2014.
 * I contacted the chair of the search committee about the clumsy wording of the job posting, which suggested that people with "visible" disabilities were encouraged to apply. He replied that Canadian law does not provide for "affirmative action" requirements in hiring. He suggested that the University of British Columbia only hires the most qualified candidates. No one would ever question that UBC only hires the best candidates. However, disabled people - like myself - do not require "affirmative action" laws to secure employment as academics. UBC only hires the best candidates, unless they are Canadian, in which case all other considerations are cast aside.
 * 4 November 2014 - Search has been POSTPONED for one year due to budgetary restrictions.  They plan to advertise this position again in the summer with a start date of July 1, 2016.
 * How did you hear about the postponement?
 * It was announced in an email to applicants on 11/4.
 * The chair also said that he "will be writing individually to each applicant." I haven't yet received such an email. Anyone know what this is about?
 * No clue. I don't understand why they asked for so many documents. It's a lot for the applicants and for the committee (though in this case, I doubt the applications were opened by the committee, who likely knew or suspected that the search would not happen).
 * It is just plain unprorfessional and rude.
 * I agree with above, also ridiculous that the tone was "no need to reapply next year," as if to confirm the committee has all the power over us, which they do...so I guess we'll sit here and twiddle our thumbs in the meantime, waiting for 12 months on the off chance we'll be contacted. This search cancellation letter would be another reason I walk away from academia.
 * The chair sure as h#ll hasn't contacted me individually. UBC's hiring process is a joke. How can a Department begin a search w/o knowing how much money they have?

 * Deadline: 17 Nov. 2014
 * Any idea what they want in a "statement of scholarly interests"? I feel like I cover that in the cover letter.
 * I imagine that a "statement of scholarly interests" is a research statement.  For more information, see: http://theprofessorisin.com/2012/08/30/dr-karens-rules-of-the-research-statement/
 * Any idea of the teaching load at CUNY-SI?
 * Did anyone figure out how to submit reference letters? Didn't seem to be a clear option to do so through the online app...
 * I sent them via Interfolio to the email address (facultyrecruithss@csi.cuny.edu) listed in the job ad, mentioning Job ID# 11344 in the subject line. Fingers crossed that it worked!
 * yes, that was the email address to send them to. I think I wrote them at that address to find out how to submit as my people were going to write directly and that's what I was told.

===Florida Gulf Coast University (USA: FL) - Modern Europe (excl. Germany; Full-Time, Non-TT)===
 * 9-month multi-year appointment in Modern European HIstory, to begin Aug 2015
 * 3-3 teaching load
 * Minimum Qualifications: Ph.D. in History, specializing in Modern Europe (with the exception of 20th century Germany), from a regionally accredited institution or equivalent accreditation. Consistent record of active scholarship in order to be in compliance with FGCU graduate certification requirements.
 * ABD will be considered if degree is conferred by August 7, 2015. If successful candidate is ABD, appointment will be made at a Lecturer level on a fixed contract.
 * Preferred Qualifications: Experience teaching a wide-range of students and must provide evidence of teaching effectiveness. Ability to teach courses in Early Modern Europe.
 * Deadline: 20 Nov. 2014
 * I'm having trouble figuring out if the want actual references or just a list of 5 references. Any ideas?
 * Shoot them an email - couldn't hurt
 * 8The job posting suggests that a listing of five references is necessary, but the application website for FGCU prompts the applicant to upload both a listing of references and letters of reference. Very confusing
 * It is a list of references. The committee will contact them prior to an invitation for an on-campus visit
 * Thanks for the information!
 * What is a "Statement of experience with students in research or scholarship as it fits discipline"?
 * I am not sure that anyone has a good answer for that question. It is attached to every job advert at FGCU. I think it is an institutional requirement. It certainly is not required at other Florida public schools.
 * I would guess that it means to talk about how you include undergraduates in your research and/or how you support their own research.
 * Any news on this one?  I have heard the department has a very specific definition of "modern Europe."
 * What have you heard? Do they define it as only twentieth century?
 * I called HR late last week. The committee is in the process of scheduling Skype interviews for Jan. Based on what I was told, it seems that in fact they took "modern Europe" broadly so long as the approach/field did not overlap with current faculty.
 * Can anyone kindly confirm that they have indeed been contacted for a Skype interview?
 * I have not been invited for a skype interview but I was told by HR that the department had very specific definition of modern Europe. She declined to tell me what the definition actually was.
 * Request for Skype interview (12/17)
 * Was the request via e-mail or phone?
 * Invitation (via phone call) for Skype interview in January (12/17)

 * Oh dear...sigh.
 * That explains why this search seems so poorly run. They want Ivy league at short notice.
 * What seems poorly run about it? The advertisement is clear, advertised in plenty of time, etc.?
 * Warning: Penn's history dept. has had a disastrous record of tenuring recently-hired scholars (though the problem seems to be with higher-ups in the Personnel  Committee). In addition to the Childers case, there was the Ronald Granieri debacle in 2010.
 * What happened in 2010?
 * Do a Google search for "Ronald Granieri tenure" and you'll get the idea. I don't know the details but the poor guy had published more than enough, was considered a brilliant teacher, and was recommended for tenure but didn't get it. Leading to student protests!
 * Any news? 29/11
 * 4/12 request for full diss/book manuscript (x 2)
 * Anyone know what fields?
 * Have they sent out AHA requests? It's the 18th for crying out loud.

 * Open-rank appointment in modern European history since 1750 in any field excluding Russia, beginning July 1, 2015.
 * Applications are invited from scholars at all levels. Applications are welcome from junior historians who already hold teaching positions, as well as from recent PhDs and those who expect their PhD by the time of appointment. Applications are also welcome from senior scholars at the level of full or associate professor.
 * All applicants should submit a letter of application, C.V., statement of research and teaching interests, and junior applicants must also submit a chapter-length writing sample prepared for blind reading, as well as three letters of reference at http://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/Yale/HIST.
 * The review of applications will begin 15 Oct. 2014 and continue until a suitable candidate is found.
 * Does anyone know how long a research and teaching statement should be? I have usually seen that information included in the letter of application.
 * Is this job for real or are they bringing someone up for tenure and trying to see if they are the greatest in the galaxy or whatever? (Yale used to run open rank searches whenever they were doing a tenure case to compare the candidate to outsiders...I don't know if they do this anymore).
 * They still do this, but I don't know if that's the case with this hire. Does anyone have inside info?
 * Adam Tooze is leaving; I assume it's to replace him...
 * Actually, I believe they don't do this anymore, changed the procedure a while back; so Tooze is leaving for CU, this is confirmed? Few weeks ago I heard it was still undecided.
 * Yale no longer does the terrible open search thing to tenure, so it's not that. Their modern France/WWI scholar was recently denied tenure.
 * Also, Yale's modern Britain/WWI scholar is retiring.
 * Has anyone heard anything?
 * Request for AHA interview x2 (10/30)
 * Crap--only two weeks to heartbreak. Gotta respect the efficiency, though.
 * Could those who got an AHA interview please indicate their fields (time period, geographic region) and their academic standing? Thanks!
 * Any more movement on this one? Or is it time for us non-invitees to move on?
 * If they made their decisions just two weeks after the deadline -- which I highly doubt -- something fishy is going on. Second, my suspicion is that they would not invite mid-level or more senior scholars to the AHA. In short, I'm a bit skeptical about the 10/30 post about AHA interviews.
 * This website is full of conspiracy theorists. There is absolutely nothing "fishy" about reaching a decision about a long list of AHA interviews within two weeks of a job closing. I am not on this search committee but having served on many search committees I can tell you that committees read applications as they come in and take notes along the way. They then return to the applications to read letters of reference as they come rolling in. This means that by the time the search closes, most of the files have been read. Committees then usually meet within a week of the files closing to decide on a long list. Then that list is taken to the department for approval. This process might take longer than two weeks, but it might not. Search Committees tend to be very conscientious, tend to know what they are and are not looking for, and then reach decisions within a reasonable amount of time so as not to keep applicants waiting. If you were not notified for an AHA interview, then move on without sour grapes. Your file might be excellent, but not what they are looking for. Reading this site makes me feel that many people posting seem desperate to join the professional academic community and yet hold the members of that community in contempt. You should think better of your future colleagues.
 * This post is outstanding and all 100% true.
 * While I appreciate and agree with what the above poster has written, I think it is a bit harsh to blame applicants for coming up with conspiracy theories. The academic job market is the most opaque, complicated and undecipherable market in existence. Applicants work for years to get their degrees, work for weeks to put together strong applications, and then don't hear anything -- literally anything -- ever again from a majority of searches. There is no feedback from committees, no education of the applicant pool about what happens in a search, and absolutely no ability to learn anything from the process. Applying for an academic job requires pouring your life out on paper and sending it to a black hole. Search committees, while they may be conscientious, as you point out, are also notoriously bad at communicating with applicants. Given the paucity of information, and the lack of education and knowledge about what, exactly, a search committee does (something that all graduate schools should address, and none do), I think it is unfortunate but natural to have a thriving conspiracy theory market on here. After all, in the absence of any information, bad information becomes the currency of the realm. If applicants hold members of the community in contempt, maybe it's because those members treat applicants like so many cattle, not worthy of the most common of common courtesies.
 * One of the best ways to show respect for applicants and those performing searches alike would be to take speculation about searches and comments about those using this site to the Talk page or to another appropriate forum and keep this wiki free for information about searches. Goldenwest (talk) 19:38, November 19, 2014 (UTC)
 * "The academic job market is the most opaque, complicated and undecipherable market in existence." Probably *most* professions are less transparent in their recruiting practices than academia. I do not claim that all outcomes are perfectly meritocratic, but here as in so many other respects academics have a tendency to exaggerate the singularity of their profession.
 * This has been just _such_ an informative thread... So, as far as we know, two people supposedly have AHA interviews, and rumor has it that the Germanist is leaving, the modern French historian was denied tenure, and their Britain/WWI scholar is retiring. In other words, we really don't know much about how this search is progressing. But at least some of us got a chance to lecture job-seekers and/or get our frustrations about the job market off our collective chest!

Texas State University-San Marcos (USA; TX) post-1783

 * Tenure track assistant professorship in Modern British History (post-1793), to begin Fall 2015
 * Applicant will be expected to teach advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in modern British history, as well as advanced undergraduate courses in Modern European history and survey courses in World Civilization.
 * Required: Expertise in modern British history (post- 1783) as demonstrated by dissertation and/or research and publications; Ph.D. completed by appointment date.
 * A complete application comprises a letter of application, a CV, an article-length writing sample, and three letters of recommendation. Email submissions are preferred. Please send materials to: Dr. Dennis Dunn, [mailto:dd05@txstate.edu dd05@txstate.edu], Department of History, Texas State University, 601 University Drive, San Marcos, TX 78666.
 * For full consideration: 31 Oct. 2014.
 * I have been hesitant to apply, even though TSU seems like a great place to teach. The department likely has an inside candidate
 * ... you mean, somebody who currently works there in a non-TT capacity may or may not be applying for the job. Which could mean a lot, or it could mean a little, or it could mean nothing at all. There are plenty of perfectly good reasons not to apply for a particular job. This isn't one of them.
 * That is true. I am simply curious. I will likely apply despite my reservations


 * Yes, I can confirm that TSU has an inside candidate and he's not just a run-of-the-mill adjunct.  His CV is really solid.  But I'm applying anyway -- why would you not?!
 * This inside candidate has a very solid CV, so it's reasonable to assume, given the oddly 'large' number of TT modern Britain/British empire posts this year, the individual in question might end up taking another job, doubt it though as they appear established in Texas.


 * Request for Phone Interview 11/10 (x 2)

I'm just looking at previous edits and Naval is running a job for Ancient Greece that someone else got a video interview request for at roughly the same edit time as yours.

===University of California, Santa Cruz (USA: CA) - Modern France and the French Empire and Postcolonial World (18th c. - Present)===
 * Tenure track Assistant Professorship in Modern France and the French Empire and postcolonial world, 18thC - present, to begin July 1 2015
 * Research focus may be centered on interactions of France with colonial Southeast Asia, North Africa, West Africa, or the Caribbean. Thematic interests may include, but are not limited to, empire, colonialism, and anticolonialism; gender; environment and technology; and cultural history.
 * The position carries a five-course-equivalency workload, which normally means teaching four courses over three quarters and carrying out other academic and service responsibilities.
 * The successful candidate must demonstrate the ability to teach undergraduate and graduate courses focused broadly on the intersection of French metropolitan and imperial/postcolonial history, and to contribute to the undergraduate survey in European history. Additionally, the ability to contribute to the department’s World History curriculum at both levels is desirable, as is the ability to contribute to graduate training under the rubric Early Modern/Modern Europe and the World.

 * Please note that the initial review date has been changed to 3 Nov. 2014
 * Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I've never heard of a due date being moved up like this unless something sketchy was going on - inside candidate?
 * Maybe they've decided to get a sense of the applicant pool before the HSS meeting, so they can see some of the candidates there, given the environment and tech component?
 * Maybe they just realized they didn't want to read applications on Thanksgiving.
 * The most likely explanation is a miscommunication between the Search Committee and the University's HR department, which actually places and pays for the listing.
 * The requested statement on contribution to diversity was curious. What if a candidate is not a particularly "diverse" individual?
 * Indeed it was "curious." I know it is early yet, but has any heard anything?
 * The diversity statement was identfied as "optional." can we get some general idea of how many people actually submitted one?
 * I submitted one with my application
 * Not me.
 * It's becoming pretty common for UC schools to request "diversity statements" of their applicants
 * That department looks very white. Administration pressure for a diversity hire?
 * Invitation to AHA interview 12/5 (x5)
