 * I went to submit through the online system on Nov 3, but it was only after answering 9 (!) supplementary short answer questions, that the system prompted me to upload the following documents. There's no description of this requirement anywhere. Anyone else think this is strange? I feel blindsided.
 * Curriculum Vitae, Cover Letter, Teaching Philosophy, Publications, Syllabi Examples, Student Evaluations, Professional Writing Sample
 * Agreed--the strangest app to date.  8 supp. questions (half of which are the normal throwaway questions that start out an interview) and then all of this info? Publications and writing sample, with mailed letters of rec?  They definitely thinned the herd.
 * Yep -- totally wasn't sure what to expect when it told me not to begin the supplemental questions without having my docs ready, and then the next page was a bazillion required docs. Plus, I found it odd that they didn't tell you beforehand that you had a 1200 character limit on your answers to the supplemental questions.

 * Screening of applications begins 15 Sept. 2014, and will continue until the position is filled.
 * Acknowledgement of application received, 9/05 (x2)
 * Has anyone else completed the application, received a confirmation number, and not had their application acknowledged? (Same poster--nevermind, it went into my "junk" folder)
 * Request for a writing sample (diss chapter or article) and "evidence of teaching excellence." Email also indicated tight timetable; they want to conclude the search by the end of the semester. Rec'd 9/26. x2
 * FWIW, they could easily fill both these position with their current VAPs. I wonder if that's why they're trying to wrap this up before AHA.
 * Would anyone contacted be willing the share their research area? It was such a broad search
 * Normally, I'm opposed to the early reveal of information, but since the search is so broad, I'd like to see if anyone would be willing to share their chronological focus.
 * Rejection received via e-mail (9/29) x4
 * Rejection received via e-mail (9/29)
 * Rejection received via e-mail (9/30)
 * That was quick. Rejection received via e-mail (9/29)
 * So I realize, reading this, that I never received an acknowledgement of application received (I applied on 9/12). It looks like this thing has sailed, but for future reference, what did the acknowlegment indicate? (I don't know how my application didn't get received. The online Miamia system says it did...)
 * The acknowledgement did not contain any detail. The rejection only stated that the committee had received "hundreds of very impressive applications." It seems like this is a rolling process, so this is one of those cases in which no news is actually no news.
 * The acknowledgement I rec'd said something like "we have received your application, and will give it full consideration, etc." and I got it a day or two after submitting the application. The rejection email mentioned the "hundreds of impressive applications."
 * Yes: I recieved an acknowledgement that my application was received. And radio silence since (10/8)
 * I also received an email acknowledgement and nothing since.  Perhaps we're on the backup
 * I received neither a rejection nor a request for more materials - anyone else in that boat? (10/8)
 * list? (10/17)
 * Request for Skype interview (9 Oct) x2
 * Contacted for on-campus interview. Mentioned more than 400 initial applicants.... (10/17)
 * Would you mind sharing if you are ABD/done? (10/28)
 * Has an offer been made here? Or are campus interviews still underway?
 * The department meets to make a decision on 12/5.

 * can anyone provide insight on the Barnard/Columbia hist depts relationship? (beyond what is formally written)
 * It has seemed cordial to me (got my PhD from Columbia about five years ago), and Barnard students take CU classes and vice versa.  Barnard Profs also regularly serve on CU dissertation committies.  That said, Barnard profs do not (to my knowledge) advise PhDs or graduate students, nor do they have voting privileges on Columbia hires and the like.  And there's perhaps a bit of resentment among some Barnard profs, though certainly not all -- Barnard is a sweet gig, liberal arts but connected to a major research university in NYC.
 * Sounds like a sweet gig, indeed. Has anyone heard any news on this search? (11/15) not a peep here

 * The email included the addresses of everyone they sent it to, no bcc!

We would all probably want search committees to cut us some slack for boneheaded errors. Plus you would absolutely torpedo your candidacy, and while I guess we're in competition with one another, I wouldn't want to let you hang yourself over that.
