 * Link to Ad:
 * Deadline: Review of applications will start October 15, 2014.
 * List Updates Here:
 * Does anyone know if this is an internal hire considering the window for applying is less than 2 weeks?
 * I am wondering the same. It may not be an internal hire but they could have another candidate in mind for the position. Either way, such a short application window suggests they are just going through the motions and that it might not be worth wasting the time to apply.
 * The app materials are also overly specific and directive, very tough to make a decent application that meets all these requirements in the time they have allowed.


 * Not an internal hire or other candidate in mind conspiracy theorists. Btw, the ad was submitted to hr quite some time ago, it takes a while to get through the red tape.
 * ^ Sorry you're having a bad day (based on the part of the comment you deleted). Good to know we were wrong. We're not conspiring. For us it's personal. It's a buyers' market, there's a lot of uncertainty, and it's an isolating experience being on the market. Exchanges like this help allay some of the anxiety and make the best use of our limited time and energy. Best!
 * Are you sure you don't mean "seller's market" as it appears that there are way more buyers than sellers each year.


 * Any news, y'all? (I know it's early yet, but a job I applied to last week, which had an incredible number of applicants, has already narrowed it down to their finalists. The turn-around was amazing!)
 * Three prominent diversity-focused scholars have left University of Denver--two of Asian background and focus. Currently, there is a strong personality in the department that makes work life really uncomfortable. Watch out.
 * Wow, sounds like someone doesn't know what they are talking about. Well, given that one was a postdoc that left for a tenure track position and the other moved home for family reasons your statement is bullshit. And your "strong personality" statement sounds like pathetic sour grapes. Get a life.
 * I have to say I think I know who that "strong personality" is and they're the most wonderful supportive advisor I have ever had. I would not trade my experience in the department for anything and this is coming from a heterosexual cismale Chicano on the critical intercultural track. I value that critical intercultural scholarship is championed and its not for everyone. Its definitely not for the person who posted previously warning of the "strong personality". Looking in the mirror and being reflexive can be too much for some people.
 * I am saddened that someone chose to speak when they have a clear lack of knowledge. To comment on our department and suggesting that "there is a strong personality in the department that makes work life really uncomfortable" is ridiculous. It is a incredible space to be a part of and the level I have been pushed and supported as a student is beyond what I expected.
 * Wow, "strong personality?" Sounds like someone needs to take some critical intercultural classes, and maybe read some of this "challenging" scholar's work. If by uncomfortable, you mean, calls out white supremacist, capitalist, patriarchy, and heterosexism and doesn't abide by white codes of civility then by all means BRING ON THE DISCOMFORT (and give her a medal!) I would only be so lucky to work here.
 * Yikes. If this thread is any indication, there's a little bit of tension at DU.
