For example, there is one point devoted to "the historic Christian faith" in the college's faculty mission statement; many more points are given to standard Liberal Arts College practices and expectations (teaching, pedagogy, student mentoring, research, etc.). Does religion take a back or front seat at the college, or is it fluid? I'm left with really mixed messages when I puruse their website. Ideas?
 * Received rejection in mail, dated 10/17.  Fastest turnaround ever, although language not extraordinariy kind.

NYU, Center for European & Mediterranean Studies - Assistant Professor/Faculty Fellow (non-TT)

 * The Center for European and Mediterranean Studies in Arts and Science at New York University invites applicants for an Assistant Professor/Faculty Fellow position. The initial appointment will be for one year beginning September 1, 2014, renewable annually for a maximum of three years, pending administrative and budgetary approval.
 * CEMS/NYU seeks a scholar specializing in one or more of the following fields: comparative European/Mediterranean politics, anthropology, or sociology, or contemporary or recent European/Mediterranean history. We are particularly interested in candidates with research and/or teaching interests concerning the European Union. Responsibilities include teaching three courses per year (including one undergraduate and one graduate research seminar), and an advising load (with MA students and undergraduate majors). Student advising is a key component of this position. Candidates should demonstrate a commitment to interdisciplinary scholarship and excellence in teaching, and have completed the Ph.D. no earlier than 2009.
 * To apply, see the NYU Center for European and Mediterranean Studies website at http://cems.as.nyu.edu. The applicant should include a letter of application, curriculum vitae, and three letters of recommendation.

 * It's hard to know whether this is worth applying for without salary numbers. 45000 dollars a year makes a bad life with a family in NY. Does anyone know what the salary has been in the past?
