 * They're asking for an e-mail application and list of references. You don't even have to pay Interfolio. What do you have to lose by applying? At the very least, you're helping them since the internal candidate will look good by having been chosen out of a larger field.
 * This is the second time I have seen this listing in the past few years. The first might have been for the visiting position. It is possible the VAP is moving on or they got the OK for a TT hire. It can't hurt to apply.
 * I will just add that a couple of years ago I had an on-campus at Alma and in that cycle they hired their internal candidate...but you never know
 * They are only looking for a Medievalist who works forward. I am an Early Modernist and was told by the department not even to bother applying for the position.
 * The job ad is soooo closely written to the current VAP's specialties that I can't help but be cynical on this one.
 * 11/14: request for additional materials (graduate transcripts and teaching/research statement) received
 * Congratulations! Are you medieval or early modern? -- Medieval

 * Something tells me that their visiting person will be getting the job...
 * You never know--it doesn't always work that way (trust me)
 * Yes, people need to seriously stop going to departmental webpages, seeing a visitor and automatically assuming that that person is going to get the job. Other possibilites: the department hates the visitor, the visitor hates the department, the administration hates the visitor, the visitor has a partner at another institution, the visitor is quitting academia, the visitor isn't even applying for the job, the visitor needs to be with family elsewhere, etc etc. Or, one final possibility: the visitor has worked their butts off and deserves to compete for the job. Good for them. -- Thanks for this comment. I couldn't agree more. If you believe the visitor will get the job, don't apply. Better chances for the rest of us.
 * There does seem to be a trend where departments "suck the life" out of their term-faculty. It creates a situtation where a VAP might abhore making their situtation permanent. The "success" of becoming permanent faculty is a negative if the teaching load remains high and now you have service,research and a tenure clock ticking. That said, I would be very surprised if that's the situation at Bryn Mawr.
 * Contacted to fill out an online form that I had missed as part of the application process - doh! (11/8)
 * Don't think you missed anything. Everybody who submitted got the follow up online form I think. (11/9) [yes, I think so, too- I also received form email with link to online form. This form had not been mentioned before, I think.]
 * I applied via email but I have not (yet?) received a request to fill out an online form. (11/9)
 * Update (11/13): I called and spoke with the administrative assistant. She said that she has been working through a backlog of applications. I received the confirmation email and link to the online information form a few minutes later.
 * I also applied via email and have not received the request (11/11)
 * The request came with the confirmation email. Maybe you overlooked it?

 * Yes, it means this isn't a real job search, but a ritual to legitimize hiring one of them, unless all three are recent grads from the department. I've seen it many times before.

Warwick University (UK) - THREE positions

You will be expected to build research networks in your specialism beyond the University. Preference may be given to candidates with specialisms in Modern French History or Modern German History."

 * Writing samples & syllabi will only be required from shortlisted candidates
 * Deadline: 22 Oct. 2012
 * Anyone with UK experience: The application form requires a "supporting statement" (Please outline how you consider that your knowledge, skills and experience meet the criteria in the person specification.) I would have thought this is what the Cover Letter does, which they ask for as well. Is it possible to leave this simply blank, or briefly write "Please refer to my cover letter", or would it be advisable to discuss my skills in detail in this box? UK applications can be confusing...
 * Cover letter might be more cursory - ie here's my stuff, what's included etc. what's under a separate cover etc. while the statement would address explicit criteria, rather than the sometimes North American tendency of "look at me and what I've done". In other words, unlike North American job postings that 'fish', the UK ones don't, and they want you to show how you fit succinctly. Address the list of criteria directly. In general UK applications have much less 'play' room.
 * Did anyone hear anything already? Or is no news bad news?
 * No, no news yet. Edit: Contacted yest - longlisted, request for more materials (7/11/12)
 * Contacted, alerted about long-listed status, more materials requested (11/7/12) (x2)

 * Received brief but polite rejection letter. (11/15) x3
 * Out of curiosity, were folks contacted by telephone, post, e-mail? -- Email, for the longlisting status.
 * 26/11: Anyone hear anything further? I know from my referees that references were requested last week, but no further word from Warwick yet. -- No news here.

Binghamton University, SUNY- Britain & its Empire since 1650

 * Tenure-track assistant professor in the history of Britain and its empire since 1650. The position will begin Fall 2013.
 * Candidates should submit application materials electronically at http://binghamton.interviewexchange.com/.
 * These materials should include a letter of application, a curriculum vitae, three letters of recommendation, a substantial piece of scholarly writing, and sample syllabi. Potential candidates should address inquiries to Dr. Howard G. Brown, Chair, British Search Committee, Department of History, Binghamton University, SUNY, Binghamton, NY 13902.
 * Review of applications will begin on 15 Nov 2013 and close 1 Dec. 2012 
 * For what it's worth, there is a VAP (James Lothian) in this field and the position description "history of Britain and its empire since 1650" fits his early modern + modern profile: http://www2.binghamton.edu/history/people/faculty/james.html
 * Q: Assuming that this is a legitimate search, is the teaching load 2/2?
 * I don't know about teaching load, but there is no reason to believe that this is not a legitimate search. Schools often do full searches when they have already have a VAP. Sometimes it's because they want to hire that VAP in a credible way and sometimes it's because they think they can do better than the VAP they've got. Sometimes they change their minds in the middle of the search. There's no way any of us can know. Either way, it's a pretty unpleasant experience for the poor VAP, but that's academic life.
 * God you inside hire conspiracy theoriests are depressing.
 * It is not a conspiracy theory to note that there is an existing VAP who fits the job posting. It is merely acknowledging information that may be pertinent to the search. I am sorry that you are depressed by this. Indeed, there is much to be depressed about regarding the job market.
 * It certainly implies a conspiracy. I don't know the guy from a bar of soap, but he has a book, he's done lots of teaching, and he has a classic academic bio photo, so he's probably as good a chance as anyone at getting the job. If he does get it, there is nothing to suggest that it's a fait accompli. As far as I can tell the only "pertinent information" (i.e. information that is useful to potential applicatants) that can be gleaned from the existence of a VAP is that they need someone to teach British history. And we know that anyway, because they posted a job ad. I personally don't find the job market depressing anymore. I've come to terms with it. I find the naming and shaming of adjunct workers by anonymous people on a highly trafficked website depressing. (x2!)
 * Any news - conspiratorial or otherwise?! (26 Nov)

 * Three finalists have been scheduled to come to campus. [10/2]
 * One additional campus interview is planned [11/2]
 * I wonder if they will deign to interview a woman. Or a non-Harvard Ph.D.
 * One wonders given the department's recent history whether a woman with her long-term career in mind would deign to apply.
 * Who got the information about the additional campus interview, and when?
 * Not one, but two additional interviews are planned [11/7]. This is coming from a source inside the department.
 * So the lightning-speed search slows down. What was wrong with the first three candidates, I wonder?
 * The down side of the absence of the AHA vetting process at work here.
 * Any news on when the additional visits have been scheduled? January?
 * No announcements yet. The rumor is they want to get them in before Christmas break.
