World History Jobs, 2009-10

=== '''Watch out for a fake search this year from King's College, London. They've announced one on their website but it looks like they've already made a hire! (check the world history wiki from last year)''' ===

 * Is this confirmed? Cold blooded if it is.


 * I'm not usually one for conspiracy theories, but this is pretty creepy. Any chance they're hiring another world historian? Or this guy changed his mind but didn't change his CV?


 * Erm, where have they announced a 'fake search' on their website? The link is to a news article from a long time ago that said that they might hire another lecturer. But they certainly haven't formally opened a search. I looked at the vacancies page on their website and there's nothing there.


 * They held a World History search, advertised as being for AY 2009-2010. In their "news" page, they list new hires made in the same round, and don't mention having hired anyone (even someone who had deferred the post til 2010), rather saying they will be advertising the position (again) to start in 2010. Fishy!! (why not just say "we've hired X, who will take up the position next year"?).


 * As someone who applied for the KCL job last year (and I didn't get shortlisted) I can say that the 'news item' is super old. It appeared soon after the 2009-2010 search was completed. They claimed then that they would open a new search but at least until they actually advertise a new post, let's not accuse them randomly!


 * As you say, it went up AFTER the search was completed. So why not acknowledge that the 2009 search resulted in a hire? As it is, the website announcement makes it look like the search failed, and they're planning to run it again.

US in the World

 * Yale University Assistant Professor in US and the World

Global History

 * UT-Austin, LBJ Center - 3 TT positions in global affairs

World History

 * Colby-Sawyer Assistant Professor in World History. They ran a similar search last year, doesn't look like they made a hire. (look at last year's page for discussion)
 * Stonehill College Assistant or Associate Professor in World History/East Asia
 * University of Cambridge, Lecturer in World/Imperial History
 * Q. Anyone heard anything yet? The ad said interviews would be "in October". (9/9)
 * A. Shortlisting will take place at the end of September
 * Q. How many people here applied for this? Any word? (26/9)
 * Submitted by email 1 Sept and was told that 9 hard copies were actually needed, including a writing sample.  Sent all that on 8 Sept and no word since then. (27/9)
 * The search committee met 24/9. Short-listed candidates are being notified today, I believe. (27/9)
 * You mean people were being contacted on Sunday?? I've heard nothing, 2.45pm UK time, Monday 28/9.
 * Nothing here (3:21pm GMT, 28/9)
 * Q. How is the Committee contacting candidates? (28/9)
 * Best guess: emails to those shortlisted for interview, thin envelope to the rest. Nothing received & it's 10AM in Cambridge now. (29/9)
 * Anyone got anything at all? (29/9)
 * Maybe there's been a delay. Even snail mail rejections would have started showing up by now if they were sent on Monday. (30/9)
 * Still nothing? (2/10)
 * Emails have gone out to people on the shortlist. The interviews will be held in early November. British jobs frequently don't notify unsuccessful applicants. (2/10)
