and what about the Courtauld? Has anyone heard any news? nothing here (2/8)

From the application form: '''Please note that if you have not heard from us by the interview date (if specified) or within the six-week period following the closing date, it will be because we have decided not to take your application any further. ''' Six-week period... it's THIS Friday! Any news?

(I emailed to inquire about that six week period and the response that I had was that the advisory committee would not meet until December and this was two months past the application due date. I am guessing that this time frame does not necessarily apply to all the postdocs. Applicants will most likely be notified in March but I am assuming that they might not even get in touch with people who were not shortlisted or rejected. Hope this helps)

Interviews: (any news on CAA interviews?) - email request for Skype interview (1/27) x3

The announcement does say 'pending budgetary approval', I wonder if they didn't get the funding for this. 1/23: I have the same worry. Granted, I don't know about you, but I sent my application materials in a box, so perhaps still sorting through them?!; Don't most or at least more than a few say "pending budgetary approval"? I assumed it was a common caveat... Note: I did get an email on 12/22 for equal opportuntiy disclosure stating that review of materials was underway. 1/24 no it's not common, and searches that have not secured the budget for the position often go ahead with the process though it might get cancelled even after the process is well underway, unfortunately. 1/25 maybe nobody here got a CAA interview .... I noticed there is nothing indicating CAA interviews for FSU either .... FSU states in the job advertisement that they are not interviewing at CAA.... Good point; I wonder if there have been campus interviews. 1/25 who knows, but if they don't intend to interview at CAA from the beginning they usually say so, I haven't heard of any campus interviews there. Helpful hint: set up an account at Academia.edu and then you can receive an alert anytime someone searches for you on Google. Heightened (or any) activity usually means that a search committee is at least looking into your application (unless other people have a reason to Google you). But then imagine the chaos that this page will become!

That's odd -- why not interviewing at CAA?? A: Actually, several schools are not interviewing at CAA this year--either they can't afford to send their SC, or they're put off by the meat market atmosphere, or they've simply decided they can save money with Skype interviews at this stage. Don't know VCU's reason though.

Have they scheduled interviews at all? Originally when VCU received applications in December they said finalists would be notified in early January. Seems that might not have happended after all?

Connecticut College
The Department of Art History and Architectural Studies is searching for a specialist in modern and contemporary visual culture in a transnational context, with parallel interests in American art and/or nineteenth-century art. Preference will be given to candidates whose specialty is other than film or architecture, areas already well represented in the curriculum. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in art history or a related field, a strong commitment to undergraduate teaching and an active research program. The successful candidate will be conversant with current theoretical approaches and eager to highlight theory across the spectrum of courses to be taught: the survey of Western art from the Renaissance to the present, upper-level electives and advanced seminars...

The appointment begins July 1, 2011. Review of applications begins December 31 and continues until the position is filled. Preliminary interviews will be conducted at the Annual Conference of the College Art Association (New York City, 9-12 February 2011).

Interview: ANYONE hear anything yet? (1/26)

I got an email confirmation and diversity questionnaire right after submission, but otherwise it's just been crickets. (1/26) Do they realize that CAA is 2 weeks away? This is not the only school that I've applied to with late deadlines that hasn't scheduled interviews yet. Frustrating. Good luck. (1/26)

CAA interview (arranged by email 1/26) 2x Kind email rejection, 2/6. Was it really necessary to send an email rejection the day before CAA started? Actually, I wrote them back and said something about it. (2/15) Any news? (2/17) No news since CAA, anybody else? (2/25) Nope. (2/25)

Really? No news anyone? (3/1)

I believe they've commenced campus visits (3/2). Just out of curiosity, why the ire about receiving a rejection email the day before CAA started? I've run several searches in the past and my aim has always been to get news to candidates as quickly as possible, even unhappy news. Would it have been better for the search chair to send such messages after CAA? Maybe a thread for the Talk Page? [Addendum: no, I'm not a candidate nor am I affiliated with CC but heard through the grapevine about a campus visit. So I suppose it's "hearsay," though I think reliable. And I think I must have misunderstood your earlier post: I took it as saying that you'd received an email indicating that the search committee had settled on their candidates and that you were unfortunately not among them. Sorry for the confusion and good luck with your search!]

To the above poster: where does this information about campus visits come from? Would you mind saying whether you are a candidate? Also, the SC has yet to send out rejection letters (or any other information). Thus, despite your news about choosing finalists already, it seems they aren't as quick and kind in delivering important, but unhappy, updates. (3/2) [Addendum to above poster: thanks for your detailed response. I'm actually not the original poster that was irked by the timing of their pre-CAA rejection emails. I was an interview candidate with them at CAA and have been confused by their more recent silence. I appreciate your posting here with an update... especially since now I won't have to wonder anymore.]

Caa interviews scheduled?

According to the internal grad student listserv, campus visits with candidates have already been scheduled with Asoc. Profs. It's a done deal as far as I'm concerned, but they are still interviewing at CAA. (1/31)

-- Yes, but there are TWO positions on offer, and as far as I know it's still entirely open which field will go senior and which junior, or even whether both might be senior or junior. Pretty sure it isn't a 'done deal'. (2/1)

So when are these Asoc Prof visits taking place? Anyone heard back after CAA interviews? (2/15)

Senior hire speakers are from today through March 3 (2/22)

Anyone know who the finalists were? (2/22)

If I post the names, someone will take it down, because the wiki is supposed to be anon in all respects. (2/23)

of course, good point. (2/24)

In celebration of the anti-anon stance on the Talk page, I am posting names, please leave them up (3/12):

Dear 71.106.112.55, if we are so anti-anon, care to introduce yourself? It is also somewhat disconcerting that this list seems to be a conflation of the 1850-1945 position and the 1945-present position, given that USC has two ongoing searches. (3/13)

In response, sure. I am a former (now underemployed) USC grad student, and thus, vaguely invested in the search. And you can be disconcerted, but the conflation is there: they were clearly interested in hiring either/or. The pre-/vs. post- was clearly a division of sr vs. jr hires, with the sr. hire determining whether the jr would be pre- or post-, hence it makes sense that the sr. hire was offered first. Don't be naive, anon. This search came down, obviously, to issues of prominence, not field-specificity. (3/15)

And, an offer was made for the post-1945 position this week. (3/13)

Names deleted. Some of the posters (one in particular, former USC grad student...) to this thread are woefully ill-informed. Check your facts before posting misleading information about candidates, supposed priorities of committees, and offers. (3/15)

Can't speak to the veracity of the other information previously posted (now deleted by a concerned troll), but can say for a FACT that one of the senior candidates (previously listed) was indeed offered the job. Don't know if they accepted; but it was absolutely offered. So, not everyone is "woefully ill-informed." (3/16)

You clearly have no idea what an 'offer' actually involves. (3/16)

Wow, this is really getting testy for some reason. I thought this Wiki page was supposed to be informative, not combative. Whatever. I do know that she (the candidate who was made an 'offer' -- however we are defining it now) is not a liar. (3/16)

Offer: An offer was made last week (3/14)

-Hey, does anyone know if this search has been cancelled? That would be such a shame. I just noticed that this seems to have been taken down from CAA, although it's still listed on Berkeley's own academic employment website. I hope that I am worrying needlessly.

-I noticed it's been taken down too--but I assume it doesn't mean anything. It's happened before with other jobs; maybe it's just too close to the deadline so they didn't renew the ad or something?

-I asked the department secretary and the search is indeed still on.

-CAA sells job posting ads for 30 days at a time; you have to repurchase and repost.

-Not only that but they're extremely expensive and many departments can't get authorization for more than 30 days.

--Has anybody heard yet about CAA interviews? Nothing here.

Due to severe budget cuts, office is only open 1-4 pm. Check dept website. My guess is that this is affecting the search process.
