From the one leaving: an opportunity for the whole family arose elsewhere. It has nothing to do with the job here (in case that's why you asked), which has been great (hope it's allowed for me to say that here). I've been meaning to post something in the "places to love" Wiki.

LSA Interview (1/8)

Got request for a phone/skype interview x 2 (1/11/2012)

Campus interview: They have scheduled six interviews, with candidates from mainly MIT, Harvard, and from the West Coast and Europe. The Department is amazing, but they should probably start becoming more practical and less theoretical, because its graduates seldom find TT jobs.

The previous statement saying that six interivews have been schedule seems to suggest that they have a 6-person shortlist, all going for campus visits. That's a somewhat longer than average list, but of course possible. Can anyone verify that the six interviews referred to are indeed *campus visits* and not LSA/phone/Skype interviews?

Does this list even mean anything? Who would consider alternates if there are already 3 highly-qualified candidates in the short list?

A: Sometimes candidates look a lot less interesting and impressive once you get them on campus in person. Or, if the candidate is so highly-qualified, they might get multiple offers and turn a few down.

Department: Linguistics

University of Manchester (UK) - General Linguistics
Deadline: January 13, 2012

Field(s): General Linguistics

Department: Linguistics

Rank: Lecturer (equivalent to Assistant Professor)

URL: http://linguistlist.org/jobs/get-jobs.cfm?JobID=92462&SubID=4536545

Additional Info: Candidates with a research specialism in any area of Linguistics are encouraged to apply. A specialism in psycholinguistics and/or child language acquisition may be an advantage.

Notes:

This is a permanent position: unlike in the US, tenure is confirmed upon a satisfactory third-year review. The search is truly open and applications from all subfields are welcomed. The salary scale can accommodate those already having several years of junior faculty experience, and a portfolio of 4 top publications or expected publications between 2008-2013 (for REF submission) is likely to be looked on favorably. Average teaching load is 2:2 with 11-12 teaching weeks per semester.

Apparently the committee has not started looking at the applications yet because HR is not releasing them (presumably until the deadline passes).

Departments in the UK never review applications before the deadline in order to ensure that all candidates are given equal consideration.

Dec. 19: received e-mail saying I'm not on first-round interview list, but my name is still of serious interest...any ideas what this is supposed to mean?

<p style="margin-left: 40px">I'm guessing that means they might interview you if they don't like what they get after LSA

<p style="margin-left: 40px">Yes, I'd second that. Sounds like you're an alternate. Nice of them to say something, rather than leaving you in the lurch, as they do to most alternates.

12/7 Received email invitation for interview at LSA or on Skypex3

12/14 Received rejection email x3

(Being rejected in the third person really isn't pleasant: "The hiring department has carefully reviewed applications for the ASSISTANT PROFESSOR IN LINGUISTICS position, job order number 0900793, in the UCENGL-COLA English department. They have determined that other candidates are a better match based on job requirements and department needs. ") x2

Those of us who read the wiki were already rejected in the third person. I'd say getting rejection letters out within a week of scheduling interviews is better than most. At least they didn't send out affirmative action cards this late.

I didn't even get a rejection email (or an interview invitation). Anyone else? (12/15) x5

Seems like it could be good (maybe you're on a long list of potential candidates) or bad (are you sure all of your materials made it in on time?).
