2006-2007 Wikihost Postdoc Listing [[]

Note: These postdocs begin in 2008.

Suggestions for Syntax, etc.:

 * 2) Please use 3 equal signs both before AND after the title of the fellowship.
 * 3) Please include the deadline and a web link to the ad/website; PLEASE follow the format of other entries.
 * 4) For logging comments or updates, please begin your entry with an asterisk (*) to create a bullet point.  Each entry should have a separate line.
 * 5) For substantive comments or updates about status, interaction, etc., please include the date at the beginning of your entry so that users can scan the info quickly for new entries.

 * 7) Note that pressing return on your keyboard is not sufficient to create a line break.  You can use list formatting symbols, such as the asterisk or colon listed above, or the number sign (#) to create a numbered list, depending on what formatting you want to use.  You can also manually create a simple hard line break by using   .  Otherwise, you can simply press return twice to create a line break with double spacing.

Columbia University Society of Fellows in the Humanities
(Deadline: 10/8/2007, information)

Commentary
 * Sooo... since Columbia charges a $30 "application fee," AND requires that you make and send them 5 copies of your application, what do you think they're doing with the money? Going out and drinking $24,000 worth of appletinis?
 * I LOOOOVE the fact that you did the math!
 * Anyone receive their postcard confirmation yet? For $30 you'd think they could drop it in the mail...
 * Last year recorded the interviews scheduled on 15 Dec. Maybe they'll keep the same schedule? Just as an aside, they still haven't charged my cc! Wonder if they'll do it after they reject me...
 * has anyone heard from Columbia? Here we are nearly in "mid-December."  I wonder when they'll start scheduling interviews.
 * Q. Want to echo the question on the Columbia Society of Fellows. I'm applying from overseas, and what with the seasonal rush on the international postage system, it may well only be here that I can find out anything . ..
 * I think all interviews are scheduled. THere are 14 finalists, to be interviewed near the end of January (first en masse, at a "mixer" (!) and then one-on-one the next day)
 * Congrats to the Columbia interviewee -- I hope it goes well for you!
 * Q. Does anyone know if Columbia read the applications and then bill your credit card?  I gave the wrong CC details so naturally didn't make the shortlist, but I do wonder if that's 'because I didn't pay the $30.
 * Q: What's the deal with rejection letters? In the past, have those gone out quite late?

Harvard Center for the Environment Fellows
(Deadline: 1/15/08)

Harvard Expository Writing Program Fellowship
(Deadline: 11/9/2007, information)


 * 11/20 Request for additional material
 * 12/17 Scheduled MLA interview
 * Q: Anyone have a non-MLA interview scheduled?
 * A: My impression is that they do MLA interviews to see what they have, then they do non-MLA interviews if they need more people.
 * A: From Harvard's website: "about 25...are interviewed–some at the annual meetings of scholarly societies (AAA, MLA, AHA) and some in Cambridge in January and February–and five to ten hired."
 * A: my impression is that they schedule MLA interviews with people who are farther away geographically and they try to schedule on campus interviews for those who are closer to Cambridge.  I got called in mid December, several years ago, to arrange an on campus interview in early Jan.  I didn't get the impression that it was because I was a "second choice."  i.e. I'm pretty sure they called me when they were scheduling the MLA interviews, too.  How many people they ultimately hire (and who they hire) does depend, though, at least in part on how many people (and who) on their current staff leave for other jobs.  Good luck!
 * 1/7 Request to schedule non-conference interview.
 * 1/17 For what it's worth, last year I got interviewed for this post-MLA when they needed a quick fill-in; they then sent me a rejection three months later addressed to someone else's name! NOT a model of organization...
 * 1/28 Received snail-mail rejection (in Chicago)

Harvard History and Literature Program Fellows
(Deadline 2/1/2008, information)


 * anyone have any more info (link to an advertisement?) on this? The form linked above doesn't say anything about eligibility etc.
 * A: I do not have more info on this appointment. I did get an acknowledgment that my application has been received.

Harvard Humanities Center
(Deadline: 1/15/2008, information)


 * now if the $30 (for Columbia) wasn't bad enough, Harvard has the chutzpah to charge $60 to apply to their postdoc!! The program is great... but I mean really.... $60 for the honor of being rejected by Harvard??!
 * I couldn't agree with you more. I think we should bring it up at the MLA delegate assembly that these fees (especially if you apply, say, four years in a row) become ridiculous.
 * I, for one, have given up applying just because of the ridiculous $60 fee.
 * Q. Was this discussed at the MLA delegate assembly as suggested?
 * A. Sorry. I was in an interview.


 * Decisions will be made by February 22nd
 * Check Cashed

Commentary
 * Q: Can you give us the deadline they gave you for submission?
 * A: Postmarked by October 4.
 * Q: Does anyone know how many apps they usually receive?
 * A: Last year was over 800
 * Q: Mine is October 1. I wonder why they have different deadlines?
 * Q: Mine is September 28...any ideas?
 * A: Maybe the deadline is a certain number of days after the nomination is received?
 * A: That makes sense. My letter was mailed at the last minute (Sept. 7th) and I got the October 4th deadline. I love a little mystery with my postdoc applications.
 * A: Don't you love it when procrastination pays off?

Log
 * 9/17 received snail-mail request for application materials
 * 10/10 received application receipt confirmation e-mail (sent app on 10/4)
 * 10/22 received application receipt confirmation postcard by snail mail
 * 10/26 Interviews occurring.
 * 10/26 specifics on "interviews occurring" please. When/ how did they contact? Any word on whether all applications have been processed, etc.
 * 10/30 The way it worked last year (and i assume it must be the same this year), they contacted candidates by email or phone. interviews were scheduled between mid oct. and mid dec., but i don't the window in which they were contacting candidates. they made their decisions by early january.
 * 11/13 The Philosophy Wiki notes someone claiming to have been short-listed on 11/5. Any news? Should those of us not contacted (since the request for materials) give up hope at this stage?
 * 12/2 Still no news for me, so I am assuming I should definitely lose hope. Anyone else heard something?
 * 12/7 as opposed to some other places, they do eventually send out official rejection slips. But yes, if you haven't heard by now, I'd say forget about them. They tend to choose early.
 * 12/9 Offer Made
 * Q: Congrats. May I ask what field?


 * 12/11 Rejection letter received in the mail. Actually it wasn't even the size of a letter. More like a rejection note, very small piece of paper. (The message was standard: too many outstanding applicants for a few spots). Congratulations to those who got it! For everyone else, yes, give up hope now. :)

Commentary
 * They did hire last year, just haven't updated the website yet.
 * Did they end up hiring any fellows last year?
 * Their website indicates they have two fellows hired for '06-'08.
 * I assumed they were hired last year (11/12)
 * I think those fellows were hired starting in 2006-2007; i.e. I noticed that they didn't add any new fellows to the page for 2007-2009.
 * I was wondering if they had hired any fellows for that two-year period (i.e. starting this year).
 * You're right. No one was hired in 2007. 11/16
 * I'm beginning to think that this postdoc isn't being offered this year. Anyone else hear/suspect the same?
 * It says submit materials by December 1, 2007, so it must be on... (11/17)
 * I never heard any word last year; not even a rejection. Hence, I didn't bother applying for it this year.
 * sent in all materials but haven't heard anything, no acknowledgment yet.
 * I received confirmation, via email, that my complete application had been received.
 * Did the most recent contributor (1/15) receive word about the committee's timetable moving forward?
 * Sorry, no. 1/15
 * Thanks to all the January replies, any further info is much appreciated (though it looks like I'll be getting a rejection letter soon).
 * Any news?! (1/30)
 * Snail-mail rejection letter received today in the West Coast (1/31)
 * Anyone get the snail-mail rejection who was previously contacted about their interest (as reported on 1/15 below)? (2/1)

 * 12/7 email acknowledging application complete. But that was a month ago; Any other news from anyone?
 * 12/12 email from admin saying materials received, except my app is still incomplete. one letter missing.  dammit. -- I had a follow up saying they received my final letter.  That was before christmas and I've heard nothing since.
 * 1/15 email from admin asking if I was still interested/had accepted or was likely to accept any other offers--no other info. (5)
 * I assume then that those not receiving this email are most probably not being considered any more...did anybody else received this email? (1/24)
 * Not me. Sigh...
 * you know what would be awesome? a rejection notice.  How hard would it be?  1/24
 * Any news?! (1/30)
 * According to last year's wiki, they also pulled this cryptic e-mail business in January. Then they conducted phone interviews in early March and made at least one offer.  However, it looks like no one accepted.  Lesson for Washington: don't dilly-dally.
 * 2/1 - snail mail rejection today.
