California State University, Channel Islands (USA: CA) - pre-1848

 * Tenure-track assistant professor in European History, pre-1848, starting in the Fall of 2016.
 * For more information and to apply online please visit our website at: http://www.csucifacultyjobs.com.
 * Application review begins on 2 Nov. 2015.
 * Can't seem to find this on their website/job search. Any thoughts or outside sites with more details?
 * Emailed with department. They said the job was incorrectly listed. The new posting should go live on 9/14 with a submisssion deadline in Nov.


 * 9/14/15 UPDATE: This position is now posted at https://www.csucifacultyjobs.com
 * 11/23: Request for Skype interview received
 * Mind indicating your century/centuries of focus?
 * 12/4: Sure. Late 18th/early 19th C. France


 * I'd like to voice a complaint about this job application. There were 10 surprise questions in the online form that required serious, thoughtful answers. "Surprise" because there was no indication that these questions would come up in the original job ad, which specified all other requirements. It was time-consuming and stressful. Yet another example of an unreasonable application that demands we jump through many laborious hoops at a very early stage in the process when, frankly, it's just a waste of everyone's time. As if they needed that information for first round eliminations!
 * I would like to agree 110% with the above comment!  It was an incredibly obnoxious and unpleasant surprise to stumble upon at the end of preparing what was already a massive application package.  In fact, I was so put off by it that I decided not to submit my application at all.  If the administration there expects even first-round applicants to write what were, essentially, TEN EXTRA MINI-ESSAYS just to get their application in front of a committee, God knows how they treat the people they actually hire.
 * Just posting another "ditto" in the hopes that, perhaps, HR and/or the department may peruse this forum and re-evaluate their strategy in the future - PARTICULARLY for postings that are as open as this one (seriously, pre-1848?). I did go ahead and come up with some quick responses to those surprise-attack essays and submit my application (no interview) but, at least until you've narrowed the applicant pool a bit, please have as much respect for our time as we have for your institution, demonstrated by the fact that we want to work with you. Perhaps ask those questions after you've made an initial round of cuts based on letters and CVs?
 * This particular job posting attracted the attention of the Chronicle a few weeks ago in a piece entitled "Simplify the Job Application Process"

Siena Heights University (USA: MI) - European or Global History

 * Assistant Professor of European or Global History.
 * Minimum qualifications are a Ph.D in History or closely related field (specialization is open, including transnational global themes) and effective communication and interpersonal skills. We will consider applicants who are ABD and have a firm defense date.
 * To apply, please send a cover letter describing teaching experience and interests and areas of research, a statement of teaching philosophy, and a CV with names and contact information for at least three professional references to [mailto:shujobs@sienaheights.edu shujobs@sienaheights.edu]. In the subject line of the email, please reference the job title of this position to ensure timely review and distribution of your materials.
 * The deadline for applications is  8 Dec. 2015.
 * Just FYI -- Siena Heights works on a trimester system. The teaching load is 4/4/4 (12 courses per year) [Just wondering on what grounds this statement was made? Nothing on their site seems to imply anything about any faculty teaching 4/4/4, which seem absurd for such a small university. I'm wondering if this is just another strategy of some wiki-troll trying to dissuade others from a position in hopes of increasing his/her chances of getting an interview.]
 * Did some digging in response to comment above; seems Siena Heights is on a semester system (fall/winter semesters) but they have a v. small faculty and as far as I can tell, only one tenured person in the history department, and she is teaching three courses this fall. So I think the load is at least 3/3, which is definitely not 4/4/4, but definitely it's a teaching heavy job at a school that serves a v. non-traditional student body.

 * I had thought they would have taken advantage of having a load of eligible candidates in town for SCSC last weekend .... I guess not?
 * [4 Nov] I just finished communicating with Danny Vickers, the chair of the search committee. I have another offer, so I wanted to know what their timeline is. He was very coy. But he said that it is official Departmental policy not to inform rejected candidates of their status. No one will be receiving emails except the final candidates. I have no idea if they have been chosen yet.
 * Good to know! That means we're relying on successful candidates posting their news here!
 * They have.
 * ^^They have what? And how do you know?
 * I expect it means "They have now!"
 * So UBC History is in the news here in Canada today. I wonder if this is why they cancelled last year's search.
 * http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/ubc-traumatized-students-by-slow-response-to-alleged-sex-assaults-report
 * I don't know anything about UBC's slow response to sexual assaults. But I do know they have been incredibly slow at getting back to candidates about this job (two years in a row now). They really couldn't care less about doing things the right way.
 * Just so you know, this is not "incredibly slow." Many US schools are only now reviewing their files and deciding on AHA interviews. Canadian schools (such as this one) operate on a different hiring schedule. They tend not to use major conferences such as AHA for preliminary interviews, but rather go straight to bringing candidates to campus in January or February. Thus this doesn't seem like a slow search to me.
 * Just so you know, you are wrong. The due date for this was two months go. I have already finished my first round of interviews (or received rejection notices) for all of my Oct. 1 applications. This search has been going on for two years. So yeah, it is pretty slow.

 * Hey, a job's a job. But this isn't a very good one. 4/3 without possibility of tenure. Yet they demand PhD in hand 8 months before the job actually starts. Seems excessive.
 * Yeah, the same requirement on the Holocaust/genocide job below kind of screwed me over because I'm defending on the 29th of January. I have no idea why they want everything done by the review date, rather than just stipulating that you need to have your Ph.D. in hand by the start date like pretty much everyone else. Oh well.

 * I don't know hos either. But this sentiment does sum up my attitude to the job market this year. x 2
 * Is this information about the VAP really necessary? I was offered a job once that was "'tailor made" for a VAP. You have no idea what they are doing.

 * 12/1: has anybody heard anything at all?
 * Request for blood sample 12/2
 * I heard they had a VAP with blood type AB+, so unless you've got the same blood type, it's probably not worth applying.

 * Candidates should apply directly through Interfolio (http://apply.interfolio.com/30689) and provide a letter of application, C.V., and three letters of recommendation.
 * Review of applications will begin on 1 Oct. 2015.
 * on AHA it states: "modern continental western European history, excluding Germany. We are particularly interested in hiring someone with an ability to teach modern France." Are there two lines or is one ad outdated?
 * The Interfolio link (and actually the Higheredjobs.com ad linked in job heading - and H-NET) now follow the AHA language. So they must have revised the ad - now changed above (08/05).
 * 2 October: I took a screen shot of this when the deadline stated 15 Oct! I can't tell when it changed, but my own fault for not checking with the website directly, which I will do from this point forward. Hope it was just simple error. Good luck to those of you who got your app in on time!
 * [16 Oct]: request for written work via interfolio
 * Can I ask what stage you are at? Perhaps they requested materials from a particular group—ABD, etc.?
 * I received a request for material and I am ABD, but it was a form letter that asked for books, completed dissertations, articles, etc; might also be of interest that the materials aren't due until Oct 30, so there might unfortunately be a bit more waiting...
 * Thanks! My guess is that they might ask ABDs they are interested in for more materials in order to make sure they'll really finish this year (this happened to me last year for a job I made it the campus visit round of)...
 * I got the same form request and I have already received my PhD. My guess is this is a second-round of sorts, with those who heard nothing probably being kept in suspense until the committee makes up its mind about those whose materials they've seen.  But certainly we are all speculating here.


 * did all applicants get this interfolio link or was this a second round cut?
 * [19 Oct]: Received rejection email from Interfolio (x2)


 * [20 Oct]: I'm confused because I've received neither a rejection nor a request for written work (but I'm positive my application was in on time via Interfolio). Maybe they're doing this in several rounds? x 5
