NOTES:


 * A) I just talked to someone in UC's English department, and this person was completely unfamiliar with this open position; he doubted whether it existed; B) I've logged-in to their web site for days, and there is no position listed there; C) The wording for this position on the main campus is the exact same wording for a position at UC, Clermont from a few months ago.
 * Good points. However, it was also advertised in the Chronicle. Has anyone confirmed one way or another with HR: Human Resources department at [mailto:HROneStop@ucmail.uc.edu HROneStop@ucmail.uc.edu]? [07/12]


 * It is definitely a mistake. When you log into the HR system (a shared system withe the Clermont campus) with the above number, the ad clearly states this job is for the Clermont campus. It looks like they didn't make the hire this year and are running it again.
 * Thank you for clarifying. Details updated above (07/18)
