2. Please mark the title of the position using the H3 header.

6. Please do not post names in "Accepted Offers" until an offer has actually been accepted. Do not post a name if an offer has merely been extended, as this is not fair to the candidate's students, or to the candidate him/herself, who may need to negotiate with his/her current institution, etc. Ideally names will only be posted on the wiki by the candidate him/herself, after accepting an offer, or by a third party with some corroborating evidence (university press release, link to successful candidate's website with announcement, etc), but I know that's not always possible since people hear things through social media or word of mouth. If you want to post a name of a pianist that you know has accepted an offer, please include something about the source of the information (not just "gossip" or "the grapevine").

 * Sad it's not tenure-track
 * Know they were holding interviews a few days ago.
 * 1/10: Just out of curiosity, how did you hear they're holding interviews? I called today and was told they haven't made any cuts or conducted any interviews yet. Maybe they did hold interviews and weren't content with their top choices or maybe their interview candidates all turned it down and they're still looking for other candidates? I'm sure schools say things to not give away too much information, but that's just what I was told today so I'm not too sure as to what's going on with this position. Just wondering!
 * No firsthand knowledge here, but since the spring semester began on 1/8, it seems unlikely that interviews were underway. And yet I could be wrong.

General Discussion

 * Hi everyone. I (5120j) used to admin/update this page, but no longer have the time. All you pianists out there will need to take the initiative to post and update job listings yourselves, as creating/setting up the page & RSS feed will be the extent of my involvement this year. Best of luck!

Do not be discouraged about the search result. Just keep applying as many jobs as possible until you hit the jackpot. Not only that many job posts are fake but even in the real searches, who knows if the committee really wants to take the best candidate or not? Let's face it, many professors probably will never get their current job if they are on the job market right now. Good Luck !
