NOTES:


 * 8/31: Just clicked the link to the HigherEdJobs.com ad, and it says,  "Position Deleted on 8/24/2015. This position is no longer an active posting on HigherEdJobs." Not sure if this means they just pulled the ad, or if the position has been pulled, too.
 * The link to apply still works: https://emerson.peopleadmin.com/postings/9619 - which suggests that the position has not been pulled even though the HigherEd ad may have expired. (8/31)
 * Does anyone have any info on whether this is a real search? I've got my ear to the ground for jobs and I heard of this only through a fluke. It all seems very suspicious: it's barely been advertised and the lead time between the initial posting and the September review of applications makes it seem like they must have an identified or inside candidate they are trying to hire quickly under the radar while doing the bare legal minimum of running a search. It'd be nice to know before putting in the effort of applying, but I guess that's the position job candidates are always in!
 * ^^They did run a VAP search ("Scholar-in-Residence") for an Early Modernist last Spring, so they could be happy with their hire.
 * Seconding the likehood of an inside candidate. It's a very early date without a hard deadline and with little application material needed. Smells a bit strange. It might well be that they're doing the minimum needed legally before they make a hire. At least they're not asking for large volumes of customized documents.
 * This is obviously a fake search--no serious place would do a national or even local search for a TT position with such little adevrtising and odd timeline. Of course this happens all the time but it is rarely so brazen. I suppose we should be grateful that they are not getting our hopes up? In any case, anyone qualified should apply nonethelesss--at least make it hard for them. And you never know whether the administration of the college is also in on the fix. If not, and if they take any oversight of the process, the more applications that come in, the better the chance someone outside the dept. will spot a good candidate and maybe start asking questions about why certain appications are not being considered and force a real competition. I wonder if there is some way to alert someone in  provost office or something without seeming too paranoid? Small chance, but maybe could help make it all more fair and legit. Otherwise, I guess we just hope the inside person is some long-suffering adjunct they've been exploiting for years? a happy ending for a deserving soul at least.
 * ^^ Calm down with the hysteria. This is not "obviously" a fake search. (Even when there *is* an inside candidate he or she is frequently bested by an outside candidate--I've seen it happen many times.) I agree that the early review is odd, but it doesn't necessarily mean anything other than that the committee will be looking at applications as they arrive. Regardless, though, the department is not operating freelance here, and if something is up, admin knows it. +1
