Physical Anthropology 08-09

Postings in Physical Anthropology 10-11

Has been updated to reflect the 2010-11 job search. If you are still checking on the status of 09-10 jobs, you were not hired.

Let's try to keep things under each corresponding school instead of listed by progress. Listings should be alphabetical by university.

It would be great to see more people using this page so if you can pass the URL to any friends in the field it would help us all!

Also, as the season wraps up it would be great if people returned to post that an offer had been made and accepted or rejected.

-Editorial note 8/06: Out of politeness to your job-hunting colleagues, if you are offered a position, but reject it, it would be best to keep that information to yourself. No one wants to go into a new job knowing that they were the "second pick".

- Considering the job market, I would be happy to be the "second pick" as long as I got the job! :)

- 8/08. IMHO, much better to learn here first (about being second choice), rather than during a faculty meeting flap. Please don't be censored, people!

-8/10: It is also a good courtesy to provide your colleague with some, however small, leverage in negotiations.

-8/11: Ok then, ethnographic data on phys-anth job seekers indicate I'm wrong. Hypothesis falsified. Request retracted.

 == Last Edited 08/12/10 -- Please remember to UPDATE!

How many people use the wiki? 17

Add a number to the "wiki-counter."

Do NOT change the counter for friends/colleagues.
