 * Review begins: 9 Nov. 2015 and continues until position filled
 * Intend to interview at the AHA
 * Crossposted to World/Global/Transnational History 2015-16
 * I don't know about your institutions, but neither of mine would release an OFFICIAL transcript to a student, so "transcripts for faculty positions must be an official copy scanned into an electronic format and attached to the application" is simply not possible.
 * Every institution that I've attended would give official transcipts to students. You have a right to your transcripts. Why wouldn't they provide them to students?
 * Let me rephrase that: if you scan official transcripts in, they "become" unofficial, as "COPY" appears all over the scan. It was the electronic attachment part of the instructions that gave me pause. It wasn't until I actually applied that I found their note saying unofficial transcripts were acceptable until the candidate was actually hired. Probably miscommunication with HR.

 * Deadline Extended: 10 Dec. 2015
 * Crossposted to History of Science, Technology, and Medicine 2015-2016


 * FYI: this is posted as a "local job" (I'm paraphrasing). Applying to this job requires you to click one of two radio buttons: "I am already local" or "I will pay for my own relocation."
 * Whatever your status will have no bearing on the search committee's decision.
 * I think you're confusing this job with another one. There is no online application for this job, you just email your materials. There are no "buttons."
 * App can be submitted through AHA website. Look at the posting there.


 * The Search Committee is looking into this, but the job is definitely open to candidates from outside the "local" area (I'm on the Search Committee).
 * I discovered that the company (called Boxwoods) that uploads the job ad to AHA was responsible for the wording. The intention was to say that the faculty in this position will not be able to telecommute. The AHA has been contacted, and we are attempting to change the wording.
 * Also, there is some negotiable funding for relocation, although it is scarce.
 * Any questions about the Search can be sent to the chair of the department, Dr. Troy Paddock (paddockt1@southernct.edu).


 * The "local job" requirement has been removed per Search Committee request.


 * Any thoughts on whether someone without a science/technology focus should bother to apply? It seems like a very specific focus.
 * I'm of the mind that applying is better than not applying. I've been on enough searches (on both sides) to know that the person hired doesn't always perfectly match the job search ad. The only reason not to apply for a job (that you are remotely qualified for) is if you are not willing to go if offered the job.
