 * Review begins: 9 Nov. 2015 and continues until position filled
 * Intend to interview at the AHA
 * Crossposted to World/Global/Transnational History 2015-16


 * I don't know about your institutions, but neither of mine would release an OFFICIAL transcript to a student, so "transcripts for faculty positions must be an official copy scanned into an electronic format and attached to the application" is simply not possible.
 * Every institution that I've attended would give official transcipts to students. You have a right to your transcripts. Why wouldn't they provide them to students?
 * Let me rephrase that: if you scan official transcripts in, they "become" unofficial, as "COPY" appears all over the scan. It was the electronic attachment part of the instructions that gave me pause. It wasn't until I actually applied that I found their note saying unofficial transcripts were acceptable until the candidate was actually hired. Probably miscommunication with HR.
 * Has anyone heard anything about this?  Considering the AHA is less than a month away I suspected to hear something either way by now.  A flight to Atlanta is getting more interesting by the day...
 * AHA invites were sent out [24 Nov].

 * Request Phone Interview on [Jan. 12] [this line was deleted; not sure if by mistake so have replaced AFII (talk) 14:53, January 14, 2016 (UTC)]
 * The request for a phone interview on January 12 is odd. They conducted Skype interviews right before Christmas and did say that they had more to do after break, but I was under the assumption that those who were being interviewed would have been notified well before January 12. This could have been an error--or could it mean that they did not mesh with any of the candidates they have already interviewed?

 * readvertised (same ad?) 13 Dec 2015
 * [4 Jan] No idea why someone else's edit was deleted, but I also received an immediate rejection notice after submitting (I'm ABD). I can't tell if this was an HR gitch or not, but I wish they stated that ABDs weren't going to be considered in the ad instead of wasting my time.
 * I hope that this was a glitch. I am also ABD but did not receive that rejection notice.
 * [4 Jan] According to a friend and search committee member, TAMU-SA is making a big hiring push, and within that push the College of Arts & Sciences decided to only consider applications from those with PhDs in hand. Apparently there's nothing the search committee in the History Department or any other department can do to change that. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
 * [4 Jan] Quite- I was in correspondence with them involving another element of the application and they explained then that ABDs were ineligible
 * [5 Jan] It would have been nice to have included that in the job ad, which lists requirements as an M.A. and at least 18 hours of graduate work, with preferred requirements the Ph.D.

 * FYI: this is posted as a "local job" (I'm paraphrasing). Applying to this job requires you to click one of two radio buttons: "I am already local" or "I will pay for my own relocation."
 * Whatever your status will have no bearing on the search committee's decision.
 * I think you're confusing this job with another one. There is no online application for this job, you just email your materials. There are no "buttons."
 * App can be submitted through AHA website. Look at the posting there.


 * The Search Committee is looking into this, but the job is definitely open to candidates from outside the "local" area (I'm on the Search Committee).
 * I discovered that the company (called Boxwoods) that uploads the job ad to AHA was responsible for the wording. The intention was to say that the faculty in this position will not be able to telecommute. The AHA has been contacted, and we are attempting to change the wording.
 * Also, there is some negotiable funding for relocation, although it is scarce.
 * Any questions about the Search can be sent to the chair of the department, Dr. Troy Paddock (paddockt1@southernct.edu).


 * The "local job" requirement has been removed per Search Committee request.


 * Any thoughts on whether someone without a science/technology focus should bother to apply? It seems like a very specific focus.
 * I'm of the mind that applying is better than not applying. I've been on enough searches (on both sides) to know that the person hired doesn't always perfectly match the job search ad. The only reason not to apply for a job (that you are remotely qualified for) is if you are not willing to go if offered the job.
 * [16 Jan] Skype interview scheduled
 * [19 Feb] Campus interviews scheduled 2/29-3/9

 * Review begins: 4 Dec. 2015
 * Intend to interview at the AHA
 * So they assume all candidates are going to AHA or is it just going to be booking a ticket at the last minute if you get an interview?
 * That part is up to you.
 * Yup, should definitely speculatively buy plane tickets and book a room because a search committee might want to interview me. Perhaps this belongs on the talk page, but I find it frustrating to express a desire to interview at the AHA but wait to notify candidates one way or the other. In this case, is the committee really going to read 250+ apps, make a cut to 10-15, and notify candidates before winter break? And, if they do, should those candidates book an expensive ticket that could have been bought more cheaply a month ago?
 * They aren't on the AHA listing of people conducting interviews- perhaps they changed their mind.....

 * Heard through the grapevine that it was a failed search.
 * Wow. I know failed searches happen, but in a year with a mere handful of 20th C US jobs and hundreds of applicants, they couldn't find/select one person to meet their needs?
 * Agreed. It is a travesty though it may have saved someone from being the choice in a department divided over their hiring.
