 * Deadline for full consideration: 16 Sept. 2013.
 * Request for additional materials 24/09/2013. email indicates skype interviews mid-late october; on campus in november. Apparently long-list already compiled...
 * should i assume this is a lost cause then if i haven't been contacted? [1/10/2013]
 * it is conceivable that the committee asked for additional materials from ABDs to gauge their status, while moving others directly to a long-list of people that haven't yet been contacted. But it isn't likely if that timeline is accurate. I have to say that, although there may be good reasons for it, it is slightly shady to run a search whose timeline is so far ahead of the "normal" one.
 * Sorry, but, move on, they've got their list. I don't see anything at all shady about this search. The early deadline made it abundantly clear what they intended to do and how early they wanted to finish. OSU is going to get an excellent hire, save themselves and at least one candidate the (financial and mental) cost of an AHA interview, and give someone the Christmas present of their dreams. With skype, I see no reason to inflict the cattle call on any fellow human being, and suite interviews are only slightly better. Good luck to everyone in this meager year.
 * Email request for Skype interview (2) [posted 11 Oct.]
 * Invitation for campus visit received. [24 Oct.]
 * ^^Well, shoot. Good luck, finalists.
 * My thoughts exactly, so much for the skype interview. I think they're hunting for a religious studies person masquerading as an historian, if the questions I got are anything to go by...
 * Congratulations and good luck, finalists!

Lycoming College (PA)- w/Asian History

 * Tenure track assistant professor in Modern European History, to begin Fall 2014
 * Phd must be in hand by August 2014
 * "Successful candidates will be prepared to offer the survey course in the history of Western Civilization (1500-present) as well as more advanced courses exploring major intellectual, social, and political movements since the eighteenth century. The holder of this position will also teach a survey of Asian history. Further courses may be added based on field of specialization in areas the department desires, such as womens/gender history, the history of European imperialism, or the Age of Revolutions."
 * "Interested applicants should send a cover letter (addressing teaching and research interests and availability for conference interviews), statement of teaching philosophy, c.v., transcripts, student evaluations if available, a writing sample (for example, a published article or dissertation chapter), and at least three letters of reference...Digital submission of documents is preferred."
 * Deadline: 8 Nov. 2013
 * Intend to interview at the AHA
 * Is this ad targeted towards someone in particular, given the strange addition of asian history? It seems unlikely that anyone would be able to teach euro civ and an asian history survey with any degree of competence.
 * I would imagine they might be interested in someone who does, say, French imperialism in Southeast Asia, or German colonial involvement in China (just to give two hypothetical examples).  Presumably such scholars would have a minor field in Asian history and could teach a general survey.  Whether they would be interested in someone who works on British or Russian involvement in Central Asia is anybody's guess.
 * If you look at the department website, rather small department, it looks as if each of the faculty members teaches a course outside of their "specialty." I think maybe they are looking for someone who can teach an Asian survey course even though their own research does not focus on Asia. So it seems anything Modern Europe would suffice as long as we are willing to teach the Asian survey.

 * Review begins: 1 Nov. 2013 and position is open until filled
 * Plan to hold preliminary interviews by phone/Skype in December


 * This is mostly an impression--so I hope this is an appropriate forum to post this--but it seems as though this departments has been making one of two types of hire the last 5-10 years: EITHER brand new Ph.D.s, OR senior historians head-hunted from elsewhere.  I.e. if you're an adjunct or postdoc or (V)AP somewhere else, the odds aren't in your favor.    Does anyone else know anything about the department?  Does anyone else have this impression?  (Or can anyone else contradict it?)
 * That doesn't fit with what I've seen of the people we've invited for interviews - we tend to get a fairly good career spread.
 * The above commdent (the "impression" about this department favoring freshly minted PhDs or head-hunting other top schools) is very interesting.  I hadn't thought about it, but I am reasonably acquainted with the department and its practices the last few years, and I'd have to say there's something to it--with a qualification.  If it's a straight-forward hiring within the department, yes--the above comment rings true.  But if the the hiree is in some way cross-listed with another department or program (history and law, history and religion, history and East Asian studies), then it does seem to be a pretty open search.  I don't know if this has to do with funding or what.
 * There's some possibly relevant chatter (alarming? alarmist? I don't know) about the department, the university, etc. further up, under the posting for the Byzantine search.  It deals with the ins and outs and ups and downs of an unsuccessful search last year.
 * (And could we adopt the practice of placing the date after a posting?)  [9/27] <- great idea - as there's an international readership the format [9 Sept] might help avoid confusion as we get into the new year (to me, 10/2 is the 10th Feb!) AFII (talk) 07:43, October 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * Worth noting, the search referenced elsewhere was an interdisciplinary search, not that comparable to this one, which is strictly run by history. The 2 history dept. searches last year were quite successful. [10/2]
 * Any ideas about the teaching load for this position? [10/23.
 * Presumably 2/2. That's standard in UVA history dept.
 * I applied for this job (didn't get it) in 2008, and I understood it filled.  Does anyone know what happened (as in facts, not rumors) in between?  Just wondering.
 * The professor who got it left after about a year owing to a spousal hire situation where he was offered a job elsewhere. There was an adjunct for at least a year, but no permanent replacement since 2009.

University of Winchester (UK) - Late Medieval

 * Lecturer/Senior Lecturer (tenured ~Asst/Assoc or Assoc/Full Prof) in Late Medieval English History, aim will be for a start date in 2013 (or so the reference to the REF implies)
 * "Working within the Department of History, you will teach political and social history principally of Late Medieval England 1300-1500 in the tradition of K.B. McFarlane within the University’s current BA and MA programmes. Expertise in the records of national government, especially the inquisitions post mortem, is essential. Contributions will be made to the administration of the Department and its programmes. Preference may be given to candidates with particular expertise in the Wars of the Roses or the Hundred Years War. The post does require some evening teaching."
 * "As our ideal candidate, you will have a doctorate and have excellent publications actual or forthcoming to qualify for entry to the Research Excellence Framework 2014. You will have experience of teaching in higher education. The capacity to teach other aspects of medieval History English or European would be advantageous as is an interest in historical pedagogy. The ability to contribute to historical methodology teaching on both BA and MA programmes is essential as are excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to communicate effectively"
 * Deadline: 11 Aug. 2013
 * Intend to interview 23 Aug.

Wake Forest University (NC) - early modern

 * Tenure track assistant professorship in Early Modern British History, to begin July 2014
 * PhD must be in hand by July 2014
 * "The teaching of the first half of a two-semester upper-level survey of British history, and an introductory-level World Civilizations course is required"
 * Deadline: 1 Nov. 2013
 * Intend to interview at the AHA
 * They ran this search two years ago and the person they hired has left already.  Also, see the Universities to Fear page for more on how that search went.
 * "Words cannot capture how poorly this place is run." seems to be the name of the game...
 * There are a lot of weird things going on here.  First off, however, their most recent (presumably intended to be long-term) hiree died of cancer.  So you can't really blame anyone for that.  That said, yes, this place seems to be horribly run.  I think they've advertised for this position at least 5 out of the last 10 years.  For a few years it was "1500 and 1600s" OR "1800s"--which is weird: what about the 1700s?  It really sounds like a divided dsearch committee.  Years ago I had an AHA interview.  It was perfect and (naively, I'll admit) I assumed a campus visit was in the works.  Never heard a word from them again.  The next year I had an AHA interview, a campus interview, and then heard not a word until June ("We are sorry, but the search has been unsuccessful again...".)  The husband of a friend has also had similarly bizarre experiences with another department, so these problems really do seem to be at the institutional level.
 * This is not quite accurate. The asst. prof. who died was replaced in the 2010-11 search (the same search detailed on the Universities to Fear page). The candidate who replaced him (i.e., the most recent, presumably intended to be long-term, hire) left last year. As a now-deleted comment on the Universities to Fear page also pointed out, three early-career faculty members, all women, have left the department in as many years.
 * The previous holder of this position is now employed, according to multiple website giving her affiliation for this year, at SUNY Binghamton, which advertised last year for a historian of the British Empire.
 * She went from Wake Forest to Binghamton? ... Either there's family nearby, or SUNY Binghamton is better than Wake Forest. Which from what I've heard of the SUNY system is not saying much for Wake Forest.
 * "Better" can mean a great many different things depending on individual circumstances. Without more information I wouldn't necessarily read anything into the faculty member's decision (I don't work at either school nor do I know the person concerned, BTW).
 * I also don't know anyone involved, but Binghamton has a Ph.D. program and Wake Forest appears to be undergraduate only for history.

Washington and Lee University (VA) - British History c.1500-1850

 * Tenure track assistant professor of British History, c.1500-1850, to begin Sept. 2014
 * "The area of specialization is open, but the successful candidate must be prepared to teach a section of our introductory European Civilization survey, a two-term sequence on British history from the Middle Ages to the present, and courses in their area of expertise."
 * PhD must be in hand by Jun. 2014
 * NB: this is a readvertisement (see last year's advert) "applicants from last year’s search are encouraged to reapply."
 * Review begins: 1 Nov. 2013
 * Search apparently failed quite spectacularly last year. Apply at your own risk, folks. Not a pretty scene.
 * Can you provide any further details or information as to what happened (sparing the names of the innocent, of course)?
 * [7 Jul.] Just a reminder: if this is a systematic problem with a University or Department (etc.) rather than something specific to this particular search committee, then it might be better placed on the Universities to fear page, where more people might see it. AFII (talk) 07:59, June 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * Ya, but job-specific issues are always placed below the posting. So, if someone knows ...
 * There's nothing in the chat on the posting from last year, so it's difficult to say. If there's something specific about this post that would be relevant to those applying, could someone please inform the rest of us, so we can make the right decision? I don't think departments realize that while there are those who will apply anywhere, there are also those who will walk away from the profession rather than applying at a place that has a history of problems.... so ethical conduct here is disclosure.
 * Agreed.  A major reason these wikis have been created is to put a tiny bit of power in the hands of the applicants and to hold some of these places accountable for their actions during job searches.  Knowledge is power!
 * [Sept. 17] - The committee's first choice accepted another position last year.

Baylor University (TX)- with World History

 * Assistant Professorship in History
 * The Department of History seeks a specialist in French History to teach both undergraduate and graduate courses in this area. Applicants should be ABD or hold a Ph.D. in History of Early Modern France, Modern France, or Francophone World-French Colonies/Atlantic World and should be able to show evidence of outstanding teaching along with potential for scholarly publication.
 * "The successful candidate will be expected to offer undergraduate survey courses in World History as well as advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in areas of specialization"
 * Teaching load is 2-2.
 * Link to Apply: http://apply.interfolio.com/22347 "Please submit a letter of application, current curriculum vitae, and transcripts. Include names, addresses, and phone numbers of three individuals from whom you have requested letters of recommendation"
 * Review begins 1 Oct. with hard deadline 1 Dec. 2013
 * NOTE: "Chartered in 1845 by the Republic of Texas, Baylor University is the oldest university in Texas and the world’s largest Baptist University. Baylor’s mission is to educate men and women for worldwide leadership and service by integrating academic excellence and Christian commitment within a caring community."
 * Additional note: Faculty do not have to be Baptist, though they should be able to support and contribute to the University's religious commitments. Jews, Catholics, and just about every variety of Protestant are currently employed by the university. Baylor split from the Southern Baptists in 1990 in order to prevent fundamentalist influence over university curriculum or policies.
 * I have heard they require affiliation with some form of religious institution, whether or not it is Baptist. Is this true?
 * No one is taking church attendance, but it's expected and assumed that you'll be a regular member of some faith community. I'm not sure if there's a formal university requirement. If your beliefs are purely secular and you never set foot in church/synagogue, then you simply aren't a good fit for the job (and wouldn't be happy at Baylor anyway). The administration isn't too nosey about personal faith and is entirely hands off about what you do in the classroom. However, as a religious institution, Baylor can (and will) legally ask you about your general religious background and how you see yourself fitting with the University's mission.
 * Intend to interview at the AHA

Central European University (Hungary) - Modern Russian & Soviet

 * Assistant professorship in Modern Russian or Soviet History
 * "This position will continue one of the main research and teaching foci of the Department. We encourage applications from candidates whose training and expertise is in Soviet and Post-Soviet history in general.  In keeping with the Departments emphasis on interdisciplinary to comparative and cross-cultural studies, we invite applicants with a strong interest in comparative study of Empire and in various combinations of social, political, gender, or cultural history. Applicants should hold a PhD degree"
 * "Applications should include: a C.V.; a list of publications; a sample publication; a letter of application including a short statement about the applicants research plans; and the names and addresses of at least three referees." Please submit your complete application package to [mailto:positions@ceu.hu positions@ceu.hu] including job code in subject line: 2013/036
 * Deadline: 10 Nov. 2013
 * BEWARE: CEU is an extremely problematic institution that engages in employment practices described in an AAUP investigation last year as "seriously deficient." These include nonrenewals of contracts based on shaky "collegiality" grounds, which AAUP standards explicitly prohibit. Last year a faculty member in international relations who taught for a semester in this department brought successful legal action against CEU in a US jurisdiction for breach of contract, personal and professional harassment, and gender and religious discrimination. She received a large financial settlement and got a job at a more prestigious institution, but after witnessing the case it is hard to imagine that anyone seriously interested in a scholarly career would even consider CEU.
 * The deadline for this job is actually 10 November, not 15 October, as previously listed.
