East Asian History
I'm on the job market for East Asia Positions this year: 4 (only add for yourself, but add to all categories that apply) -The committee will meet on Dec. 2 -review began on Nov. 3 -They promise to get in touch for AHA interviews by early December. -They promise to have a short-list for AHA around Dec. 1 On October 5 they asked for additional materials (10/23) --Thanks and congrats.

 * Creighton
 * Eastern Michigan
 * Georgia Gwinnett College. East Asian history.  The era and country specialties are open, but they would prefer somebody who can teach courses on both China and Japan.
 * 1) Link to the ad on their website
 * 2) Link to their ad in the Chronicle
 * 3) Does not appear to be a tenure track position, just 3-5 year contract job
 * Grinnell Assistant Professor; ABD accepted. Chinese history sought with ability to teach Japanese history a plus.
 * Lamar University
 * Loyola University New Orleans
 * Nebraska Wesleyan
 * Naval Postgraduate School
 * Ohio University (different than Ohio State, below): was this search canceled? I can't find the ad.--I wonder that too... Haven't heard from them about the cancellation. No cancellation-- still active!!
 * Reed
 * Rochester: did anyone hear from Rochester?
 * Seattle Pacific University
 * Siena College (East Asia/World) seems to be a re-run of last year's search (and the year before that!)
 * Skidmore (3 year VAP)

-Hope everyone thinks it twice. the teaching load is 6!!

-Agreed, but this is a buyers' market. I'd take it.

-Many TT jobs have a teaching load of 8, 6 is not unreasonable.

-May I also add that a smaller teaching load might mean less money since this is an adjunct position? - has anyone received a rejection letter or e-mail? --I'm the original poster. I don't think the committee were planning to notify anyone until they choose their final four.
 * Stonehill
 * Stonehill had about 100 applicants, and they have already narrowed the pool to 20. They are going to narrow it down to 4-5 people to be invited for campus interviews in the next couple of weeks (11/18). -- were those 20 notified in any way or is that just inside information that you heard?    100?? Must be bogus, their advertisement was not on AHA, AAS, or H-Net.  It was only on New England HERC as far as I know. -- Apparently, you stand to be corrected: http://h-net.org/jobs/display_job.php?jobID=38882

- the ad says that they will interview at AHA, so maybe they will contact the 20 people... -They sent a snail mail promising to make a selection for on-campus interviews during the month of December.

 * Grinnell College
 * Ithaca College
 * Missouri State University
 * Occidental

Additional materials requested. Email indicated no AHA interviews planned (11/5)--thanks and congrats! Q: Did anyone get a confirmation of material received? A: Nothing at all, seems strange A2: I also got a request for more materials; they will do video interviews instead of AHA. Most schools do not seem to be confirming receipt of materials this year. I've only heard when there was a problem. Invitations for AHA interviews have gone out --Could you let me know when the invitations went out？ I just received email acknowledgement of my application (11/17).
