California State University, Long Beach (Islamic and either S. Asian or Medieval)
Receipt of application via e-mail (1/3/08); any updates (2.14.08)? Not a word (2/15/08).

Hmm. You may want to call HR and see if the search has been pulled. I applied for it last year, but it lost its funding. They changed the area of expertise this year, too.

This search, along with one for design history that they'd advertised, has been removed from their Website: http://www.csulb.edu/divisions/aa/personnel/jobs/cota/

Yes, but that could be because they are no longer accepting applications - I have run into this with other universities to which I have applied this year, but the searches are still ongoing. Just give Human Resources a call and ask. If the search has been cancelled, they will know.

Brown University
1/2 Anyone heard anything about this?

yes: campus visits scheduled for mid Feb (22 January 2008)

Request for letters of support 2/15/08. Will not hold CAA interviews

A bit confused: how are they holding campus interviews and asking for letter of support at the same time?

Yes, confusing. Are they expanding the search? Pure speculation.

They are bringing in candidates from each of the three fields. That might be why there is some confusion references interviews (perhaps a different timetable for each field).

Have they scheduled on campus interviews yet?

I asked for a time frame after my phone interview - they basically did not tell me anything, just that there were more interviews the following week, then the deliberations, but no firm idea as to when campus interviews would take place. I figure they are waiting til after CAA.

Thanks.

For those of you who interviewed with Clark: how did the interview go? Has anyone heard anything about campus interviews? Did they give a timeline for the search?

Haven't heard anything. I asked about a timeline. They said that they are on spring break this week (3/3) and would have campus visits after that. I can't remember quite how they worded it, but they said something like they would be giving people plenty of notice for campus visits.

They called at least one Medievalist for a campus interview (see above under Medieval)

Johns Hopkins (Italy, 1500-1700)
Application Deadline: Dec. 31, 2007

Any news on this one?

This is a continued search from last year for a senior appointment. I would be suprised if anyone on this wiki hears from them, though if you do, congrats. Dempsey's shoes are pretty big to fill.

As I understand it, they're looking for both a senior Northern person and a junior Italianist. I think the Northern search is done, but was wondering about the junior one.

Hmm - I only saw the listing for the senior position. They must be looking for an Italian baroque person, then, since Stephen Campbell is still there. Wish I had known about this - I didn't apply.

Kenyon College (Ren-Baroque, one year Sabat replacement)
Application deadline: Dec 14

Anyone know what's going on with this one?

Perhaps they're waiting until they know that the musical chairs with TT jobs has slowed down and that their remaining options would actually consider a one-year job?

I am wondering too. My guess is also that they are waiting.

Campus interview invitation (3/1/08)

Did anyone have a pre-campus interview?

Yes, they interviewed at CAA.

Kutztown University (Ren-Baroque)
Application deadline: Dec. 30, 2007

Request for CAA interview via email (01/30/08) (x4)

Did anyone else find this interview sort of entertaining? Nice people, iffy job (4/4, and 3/3 of that are survey sections-- eek), but. . . *too* honest? It seemed like at least one committee member was more interested in warning candidates off than in sucking them in.

I didn't get that feeling at all - we talked about how to manage that monster survey section, the future goals of the department, etc. That one committee member sat off in a corner in my interview, so I almost never made eye contact, and he made the cardinal error of asking a personal question about my family. He was having trouble with his back, and I suspect he is a curmudgeon by nature.

That must be the same committee member that I mean-- during my interview he was much more. . . participatory, and that must have shifted the vibe considerably.

I would discount him. There's one in every crowd, and we don't know what's motivating him. The poor fellow was in real pain when I interviewed, and since I have a slipped disc myself, I know what it's like. He probably spent the entire conference wishing he was home in his bathtub. Oh, and by the way, I think it's two sections of survey - the major and non-major sections (30 and 150 respectively), and they are completely renovating the facilities. You can't beat the area, either. At least we can afford to buy a house on an academic salary, and are an hour from Philly and not much more from NYC!

Does anyone remember when they were planning to make their decision for campus visits? I neglected to make a note. (They have just finished campus visits for the other position, so I would assume it will be soon) (3/3)

They are making calls right now; they will be able to invite 3 candidates (03/04)

Old Dominion(1400-1800)
Application Deadline: Jan. 15, 2008

Has anyone heard from these folks?

Not a word. (2-19)

Received call to set up an "informational meeting" at CAA (02/19/08) -- I'm assuming that this is actually an interview?

Did the meeting atually take place? I was en route on the 19th to CAA. Talk about last minute planning.

Yes: 3-3 teaching load, lots of survey, large classes, division 1 basketball. That sums up our discussion.

I received an e-mail response to my query about the search, and was told that they were still determining whom to interview. They didn't contact me for the info meeting, but she also didn't tell me I was out of the running. The women's basketball team has been a powerhouse for years.

Contacted for phone interview (Feb 27) (n.b. I was not one of those whom they had contacted earlier about 'informational meeting', for what it's worth, so the ball's still in the air, I suppose (har))

Eeew! As a longtime supporter of the Lady Vols (UT, Knoxville), I can't help but giggle at the pun. Maybe they found out my sordid past and will not consider me, due to my sports affiliations!

I got home this afternoon to find a mailing from ODU - thought it was my rejection letter, since people have already been contacted for interviews. Turns out it was my EOAA form, dated 2/25! Do you suppose they are calling as they work their way through the dossiers? (3/3)

Hey, thanks for posting that -- I didn't bother to open the envelope until I read your post, thinking it was a rejection! But it does seem like a pretty random search process, and they'd better hustle if they want to get anyone....

Agreed!

Apparently, they are setting up telephone interviews for this week (03/04).

In interview, did anyone get an idea about their timeline? Forgot to ask. ..

They told me that they have a faculty meeting on Friday. What was your sense of the interview?

They seemed like very nice folk-- quite down to earth and chatty (for my interview, at least, a couple of the committee were out ill/ in surgery, and the doc student who was present was feeling ill as well). Seemed that they'd actually read the applications very carefully. Sounded like an interesting. . . not-department.

Anybody ever hear what happened with this one? I thought I gave a good phone interview with them, but didn't make the cut. (3/2/08)

I haven't heard anything, but consider yourself lucky. Salem is a terrible place, populated mostly by state bureaucrats and meth addicts.

LOL. I wasn't too keen on moving 3000 miles across country anyway, especially when a friend told me that the school's name rhymed with Goddammit.

CAA interview scheduled via e-mail (Feb. 4)

intimidating CAA interview.

On-campus interviews beginning in the first week of March (Q: is this information you received after being invited for an interview?)

I think this may be one of those occasional insider contributions to this page (something that, frankly, I wish more institutions would do)--but please do correct me if I'm wrong and you have actually heard some news.

You would actually want an institution to read some of the contributions that have been made to this wiki in the last week?!

Ha ha. No, but anything that makes this process less opaque is fine by me.

Yes, campus visits beginning in first week of March.

did anyone actually apply to this position?

yes, not a peep from them. 2/25

Received a campus visit invite (2/27) via email with no CAA or phone interview. Bizarre. Does anyone know anything about this place?

I have a friend who is in the first year of a tenure-track appointment there. This person's interview was handled in the same way. My friend is quite pleased with the position there.

It is in the middle of nowhere; perhaps there weren't many applicants?

Take a good look at who is teaching there right now, especially VAP's. I had the same situation with another university, and it turned out to be a pro forma campus visit to satisfy the administration - ie. inside candidate. But being inside doesn't guarantee anything - go out there and show them your stuff, and don't worry about the way they managed the search. :)

Thanks everybody for your feedback!

That's an astute observation. I thought it was just me.

mm, yes. maybe so; but I still want the job. I wonder if they decided whether they want Latin American or European. heads or tails?

No word yet on this position? I know that they are not having candidates come to campus until April, but I got the sense that they would be extending invitations soon after CAA.

No word here, but it's not even been a full week since CAA. I think it's too early to stress yet, 2/28.

Thanks for the reassurance. I was once told by a professor in grad school that if you didn't hear from a committee by the Tuesday after CAA, you can assume that they've moved on without you. Which I thought was a little odd, but he had that tone of authority.

In response to that last comment ("Tuesday after CAA"), I have heard from someone with an authoritative tone (the guy running the "Job Hunt 101" workshop at the CAA this year) that it can take 4-5 weeks, especially at state schools to hear from them. It can take 2 weeks for the full committee to meet, then names have to be approved by the Dean, then the Affirmative Action office, then money has to be found to bring the candidates in--and spring break can add another week of delays. One interviewer at CAA (not this job) basically told me it would take about a month before anyone on their short list would be contacted. Keep your chin up. These things take time.

Great info -- clearly I should have gone to that panel!

I second the above info. I presently teach at a large state university and have served on several search committees. The amount of red tape involved in even being able to profer an invitation for a campus interview is astonishing. It can easily take over a week for paperwork to move through the system because everything needs to meet the approval of numerous offices: Deans, social equity, budget, etc. It really is quite a production.

not sure. ..

there are actually 25 of you!

That's a lot. I never heard back after my application to this job. Is it because I do postwar--not a contemporary enough research background? I've been teaching contemporary art for five years in museums and universities.

Ball State University
App deadline: ongoing (extended search from last year?)

It is - I was told they didn't find a compatible candidate last year - Ball State is looking for two hires (one as a Contemporary person and the other as a Modern/Contemporary/Americanist) - I had an interview at CAA and was told that they will be making a decision in the next few weeks (2/25/08)

A close friend interviewed for this last year. Pretty heavy teaching requirements, as I understand, but pleasant faculty.

Anyone else apply/interview/hear anything? (2/28)

All I know is from my close friend from a year ago; teaching load is tough, and the musicians, who control the department, are hard on artists/art historians.

Good to know - thanks.

Application Deadline: 30 November

Acknowledged receipt of application via e-mail (11/28/07)

Rejection letter via e-mail (1/25/08) x11

Are they rejecting as they read through the pile? I still haven't heard anything.... (2/24/08)

Kind of looks like it. The number of rejections has been gradually rising (from 6 to 11) over the last month or so.

rejection email was very bland and brief. They are focusing on "candidates whose area of expertise better matches their current curricular needs." But. . . do they even know what they are looking for? I'm not convinced they do.

A friend of mine was offered the job last year - it is a 4/4 generalist position. Most of the people teaching there outside the music field are part timers with jobs at other local universities. You would be the work horse of the program, and I figure they are looking for someone who can't leave the Boston area, so they won't have to do the search again in a couple of year.

Gosh. Well, maybe they shouldnt be so cheap and start hiring more full time faculty. Either that or just stop offering liberal arts classes at all. I mean, if your standards are so low that you actually think anyone can teach 4/4 across an entire discipline without seriously sacrificing teaching quality, what business do you have pretending to offer any kind of decent college education. Berkelee: Yet another school contributing to the casualization of academic labor and making it hard for young academics to survive (without being independenty wealthy or attached to a more prolific spouse.) Shame, shame, shame.

Welcome to the new academe - at least in the humanities. I've lost count of how many jobs I applied for that want a 4/4 load with huge enrollment caps and a low salary. It's a buyer's market out there right now.

Indeed, welcome to modern academe. Most of us will not find jobs in anyway like those in departments we were trained in (believe me, I've been trying, and carrying either a 4/4 or 3/3 all along.) And, Berklee is a Music school after all.

I'd give up the 2/2 and high ambitions for a research agenda, if I could just teach in a place I actually want to live. But you can't put that sort of thing in a cover letter, can you. ..

I agree with all the above! I interviewed with Berklee at CAA (I do live in the Boston area) and they were very nice and interesting, but I was shocked when I found out it was 4/4, 40 students per class. That said, I would still take the job in order to be able to teach at all, since as you all described it is a buyer's market.

I don't think there is such a thing as a true 2/2 schedule anymore, unless you manage to pull a stint at an ivy institution (where you are almost guaranteed not to get tenure unless you are a mid-level scholar, anyway). The best schools I have had interviews with are the big state schools with a 3/2. I was all excited about the one 2/2 position I applied for this year, only to discover that there were no caps on the courses, that 3 of the classes per year would be intro surveys, and to expect between 100 and 150 students per class (with no TA's). So that's 200-250 students per semester to your 160 at Berklee. Its hard to believe that it could get worse, but it does. (Wayne State advertised a Generalist position this year with a 5/5 load, and they aren't even a community college!)

You can get lucky outside the Ivies, though. I taught (as a visitor) at a small liberal arts college and at a big state school and had a genuine 2/2 schedule at both places (with caps on class size in both places and a TA at the latter). So don't give up hope!

Rejection letter received (2/2/08) x 11

Maybe this is just me, but did anyone else who interviewed with them at CAA come away with a bad taste in their mouth? Courses with no caps, and as many as 200-250 students a semester without TA's? What a disappointment. Plus, a distinct hostility towards art historians. They mostly lectured me, and regularly interrupted me to tell me I wasn't what they wanted. Pooh.

god, how horrible. talk about bad manners. if they didn't want you, but still interviewed you at CAA, then they must not be reading their application materials carefully enough.

Well, I got my invite three weeks after everyone else. I wonder if they were just padding the schedule to make the search look good for the provost. They said they still had interviews to conduct after CAA, so it's beginning to look like a cattle call.

Maybe the post-CAA interview are for people who couldn't make it to Dallas. I think there was some delay in getting thru the original applications b/c one of the faculty members became severely ill and was hospitalized.

Well, that certainly would explain the lag time in notification. And I was of the impression that the interviews after CAA were essentially part of that same cohort. But I am still pretty disappointed with the number of students in each class, the fact that they do not offer 300-level classes, and that they have no plans to expand the art history faculty any further in the foreseeable future.

Here is some additional info... Lehigh received approx. 200 applications. Specialties, as you might imagine for a generalist position, were all over the map. The teaching questions I was asked at the CAA interview seemed tailored for someone with a good deal of experience in a department, i.e. an assistant professor, not a new Ph.D. -- this seemed to be the profile they targeted in their posting also. As I understand it, they do want to expand the art history faculty, but obviously there is no line available at the moment.

I am just going by what they told me in the CAA interview. Even though I have several years of full-time teaching experience, I felt as though they were trying to run me off.

Received a call for a campus interview after a positive CAA interview in Dallas (3/1/08). In Dallas, they definitely expressed an interest in adding additional positions, and it seemed clear that this year's hire was going to be put in the role of building up the department.

That is so weird - there must have been something about me that didn't sit well with them. And I had four other extremely positive interviews.

St. Joseph's University (PA)
Application Deadline: January 15, 2008

Acknowledged receipt of electronic application via e-mail (1/15/08)

Does anyone know anything about this?

I haven't heard a word. (2/17)

I broke down and wrote the department head, who responded almost immediately that he was forwarding my e-mail to the head of the search committee. It's only been 24 hours, but I have not heard anything from her. (2/27)

I have heard that the search is ongoing and that the committee has yet to deliberate. But likewise, I have heard nothing directly from the search committee. I sometimes wonder about positions that require an online application as part of the process -- it seems as if I am sending my materials into the netherworld and I am always concerned about whether they will get to the proper person. (2/28)

Agreed. She still has not e-mailed me with any information. My present position was searched with a similar process. I had completely forgotten I had even applied by the time they finally called me - no preliminary interview, just "Can you come next week?" It was the latter part of June by the time I finally got my contract. I hope to be long gone, if St. Joseph's is planning to keep the same schedule. Too bad - it looks like a beautiful campus. (2/28)

Invitation for campus interview. (2/29)

Well how about that! Did they give you any information about the teaching load, etc.? Congrats!

Didn't they have a search last year? How did that end?

I think they did another search prior to last year too. Just fishing-- as this year's posting (which was vague) seemed to indicate as well. I am surprised they moved forward with a campus interview--- Congratulations! The chair is a quality person. I have no idea what the teaching load will be, but the campus is very well-located and the college is expanding all the time.

CAA interview requested 2/5

Methinks I dodged a bullet by NOT getting an interview for this one!

Can I ask why you say that? (as one with an interview, is there something I should know?)

Ooh, ooh, over here! Pick me! May *I* take that bullet, pretty please?

Ok, guys - as an obsessive three-times-a-day visitor to this wiki, I want to know the scuttlebutt. I didn't even apply for this job because it sounded so wierd, but my gossipy side is dying to know what is going on. You should read the EM history wiki - they are practically dating on-line at this point! But if you don't want to talk about it here, you can always go to the "Schools to fear" page and report your experience.

Hmm - well, read the ad to begin with...it sounds like (a) it is written for a specific person or (b) it is written for someone who has a schizophrenic research agenda. Did anyone else have trouble really understanding what it is they were looking for? Sheesh...That's why I didn't even apply... I have heard stories that the art history department is rather dysfunctional...

Yep, that was my impression as well. Who is going to fit that description, except maybe the life partner of the chair? From what I've been able to tell, there are some search committtee members cruising these wikis - I only hope they realize that we are not totally clueless.

My CAA interview was extremely pleasant, cordial, and interesting. Call me naive, but I do not think the position is being canned for a specific person. Rather, they seem interested in a hire who bridges a range of interests among the faculty. Rochester did it with their visual culture program; why shouldnt SMU? P.S. I would be very dissapointed (this is an understatement) if the position is positioned with a particular person in mind. ..

Seems they have already invited their short listed candidates for campus visits 2/25

I second the comments of the candidate who interviewed at CAA. I too found the committee pleasant and intellectually engaged. There was nothing to suggest that the position was intended for a specific person. But the last comment is quite curious, especially the post-date. Does "seems" mean you know or you've heard rumors?

The post-date was accidental and now corrected. My apologies for slippery fingers. But yes, I know; I have an (overjoyed) colleague who was invited for a campus visit.

Another poster, here. A few postings back someone said they heard the department was rather dysfunctional. How so? Do tell.

Any idea how many they are inviting? I too want to know about any and all dysfunction.

isn't 3-4 short-listed candiates the norm?

It depends on the funding in the department. Schools with large endowments can often bring in more candidates because the deans provide them with greater funds for each search. Poorer public schools often bring in no more than 2, and possibly keep a 3rd in reserve. [FYI - I am speaking as a tenure-track assistant prof who has served on search committees at both public and private universities - though never at SMU specifically - and who has seen a significant disparity in how searches can be run depending simply on budgetary concerns.]

That earlier comment questioning who would fit the description "other than the life partner of the chair" is still irking me. Does the author of that know something that the rest of us don't? Or, is it merely some kind of frustrated slur.

My apologies for the "life partner" comment. I did not apply for the job, because the job discription, as another comment mentioned, was too schizophrenic for my taste - and in my experience that usually means it has been written for a specific person. It was certainly not a frustrated slur, but I realize now that it was a smart-a--ed response. Better ask the folks who know more about the supposed dysfunction in the department than listen to me.

I concur with the above posters re this position: I had a thoroughly enjoyable interview at CAA with them and have no reason to believe it is for an insider.

It's the "life partner" commentator again. The more I read from those of you who did apply and subsequently interviewed, the more I begin to think that we who judged so quickly were not recognizing the novelty of the position - it is very non-traditional, and I was looking at it with a traditional bias. I figure there are going to be many more jobs like this on the market in the coming years, as the discipline evolves. Time will tell.

From someone who interviewed with them twice long ago: they are a theoretically sophisticated, forward-thinking department, which you might not assume from the school/location. I assume it's a genuine interest in configuring art historical knowledge in a new way.

Well, good. This is one occasion when I don't mind being proven wrong. The appropriate thing to write would have been that the parameters of the requested methodology did not fit my research interests, instead of making catty remarks. (Of course, we'll have to see who gets hired in the end!)

oh. I suspect that means they shortlisted their postdocs as well. Pity.

Just to clarify - the predoctoral positions are at CASVA, and those interviews have indeed already taken place. However, the postdoctoral positions are with the curatorial departments of the museum, so they wouldn't be following the same schedule.

It was announced on CAA and on their website.

I didn't get the CAA announcement and could not find it on their website--until now. Well you have one less competitor.

I emailed and asked that if a decision had been made, could they please tell me over email (assuming the decisions had been made, since someone got a rejection emailed for this category). They wrote back was that the decisions would go out in mid-April. Does anyone know whether this means I'm still in the running or if they just are waiting to notify until April? 3/3
