Talk:Art History 2010-2011

The talk page. This is a good place to put salary information. See last year's Salaries page for examples.

Griping about behavior of other wiki users
Only a slight gripe, but really more of a question: Last year the Wiki board was very active, with multiple users posting openings and information. This year it seems much less active, at least in regards to my subfield. Is there a different resource that jobseekers are using instead? Are people more cynical/competitive about the market this year, and thus less interested in collaborative action and information-sharing? I will say that I found the Wiki quite helpful last year (especially in terms of learning when to stop holding my breath about specific positions). Did others not have that same experience? Just call me "Confused in North America."


 * This is my first year on the market, so I can't compare with last year, but yes, the whole board is suspiciously inactive, especially compared with the frequent posts in other disciplines. But many deadlines are just past, or have yet to come, and I, for one, have heard absolutely nothing yet from my few (< 10) applications. A few other jobs have been posted in my subfields at CAA but don't appear here. Since I'm not applying for them myself, though, I'm not going to post them here. Yes, that's selfish, but my time is better spent working on improving my own publication record than copy-pasting job info for other people. Is anybody getting feedback on their applications yet, positive or negative?

Griping about academia as a whole

Other/general griping
OK, I'll bite for a start -- why are the only topics we can think of to "talk" about griping? If we're so bitter as a group, shouldn't we be doing other things with our lives?

I'd like to not gripe and instead to take a moment to thank ArtHistory030 for performing the valuable service of setting up the jobs and talk pages for 2010-11 searches. (And as to the latter question, my answer is, YES!)

Here, Here on the props to AH030.

Please indicate the following: School size, rank/position, starting salary, teaching load, geographical region, urban/rural, misc comments (e.g. 2K startup funding, 3K computer allowance, 4K moving allowance, ongoing research funding at 6K per year, etc.).

Please specify as well candidate status and job level: ABD, Post-Doc, TT, non-TT, starting Assistant, advanced Assistant, Associate, etc. since these factors influence salary levels too.

Would be interesting to see gender given that everyone says women receive lower initial offers and are less likely to negotiate!

For example: Research I, starting assistant prof., $54k, 2/3, midwest, small city, negotiated up from $53k
