 * Wow, assistant/associate, North/Latin America? They're going to get like 500 applications...
 * These specialisms are much less common in the UK academic world than in the US, for obvious reasons. Unless there are a lot of people willing to emigrate I doubt they'll have 500 appplicants!

 * 11/13 email with link for submitting EEO information
 * any word on this search? Did anybody receive a request to submit additional materials?
 * Nothing here [12/8]. I heard unconfirmed rumors that they solicited some work from mid-career scholars, so maybe that's what's going on.
 * Anybody else heard this?
 * OP here. Look, I don't know anything real (it's the wiki!) But if they are doing two searches, one this year and one next, the customary thing would be to hire the more senior scholar this year and let them help select someone more junior next year. As a relatively junior candidate myself, I hope this isn't the case, but I've sort of given up hope. For this job, I mean. Well, and in general too.
 * Well I wouldn't assume too much till somebody has some real information. There are a million factors that can intervene to alter how things are being done by the SC. Hopefully somebody will post something as soon as they've heard from the committee. Keep hope alive!
 * I kept it alive for about 3-4 hours there but as it happens my despair was, as usual, fully justified! Hooray!
 * Yeah, that's a bummer. Oh well. Good luck.
 * To confirm that rumor: additional materials requested (assoc prof) 12/8
 * To clarify: did you have materials solicited on 12/8, or are you just posting on 12/8 that you were asked for materials earlier? Thanks.
 * Eh, what difference does it make? The 100 of us who don't get jobs this year will all apply for their assistant position next year. And 'round and 'round we go.
