DePaul University (Chicago IL)

 * Link to University's on-line application
 * The Women's and Gender Studies Program at DePaul University invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor beginning in fall 2011.
 * Primary consideration will be given to applicants with a Ph.D. in women's and/or gender studies or another related interdisciplinary humanities-based field.

DePauw University (IN)

 * Women's Studies: DePauw University, Women's Studies. Tenure track position beginning August 2011. Teaching includes Introduction to Women's Studies and any of the following: feminist theory, transnational feminisms, sustainability studies, queer studies, or feminist science studies.
 * Application review begins October 1 and continues until position is filled.
 * Confirmation of materials and diversity form (link) via email (10/27)(11/8 x2)
 * Planning to conduct short interviews at NWSA
 * Is this re: the general confirmation email about interviews, or did you get an interview notification/scheduling communication?
 * http://chronicle.com/jobs/0000647434-01/
 * Invited to interview at NWSA (10/29)
 * Given that I got the email yesterday and that the NWSA is practically next week, I think this means I'm out of the running.
 * Not necessarily out of the running. I got an email saying they were doing interviews at NWSA but I simply can't afford to go to the conference, and they likely know that people can't always go. However, when I called to check on whether letters of rec had made it there they said that they got three times as many applications as they expected (not sure exactly what that means but I'm guessing a few hundred). I don't think that not being at NWSA means you're out of the running... not sure how important conference interviews are at NWSA but at my other professional conference they mean pretty much nothing in terms of whether you'll get a phone or campus interview.

 * I'm a humanities person, and no, I'm not planning to apply. The ad seems slanted to the social sciences, and given their previous years' choices, I think my time could be better spent.

University of Kentucky

 * Professor, Gender and Women Studies, Open Rank (posted on MLA JIL, 9/16)
 * Area of specialization is open, but a strong preference will be given to applicants with research and teaching interests in one or more of the following: cultural/media studies, literary studies, history of feminist thought. The Department has a specialization in body studies in transnational, transracial context, and we welcome applications both within and outside this research area.
 * Completed applications should be submitted by October 15, 2010 for full consideration. Applications will be considered until the position is filled.
 * Anybody heard anything?
 * As of today (11/2), I have heard nothing; I did send my application in on time.
 * I haven't heard anything either. But I do know that they had over 400 applications. (sorry to share bad news) (11/2)
 * Here's something interesting, I just looked at the NWSA Employment Service Listing (of institutions conducting interviews at NWSA) and Kentucky isn't on there (http://www.nwsa.org/employ/jobservice.php) even though the original post says interviews will be at NWSA. Do you think they got too many applications to shift through in time for NWSA?
 * I thought that, perhaps, since they advertised on the MLA list that they intended to interview at the MLA, which is in early January. That would be consistent with the "strong preference" for cultural/media studies and literary studies.
 * huh, interesting, I could have sworn they were on the list of folks interviewing at NWSA but maybe you're right. That revives some hope on my end.
 * I suspect they aren't doing conference interviews at all. The ads they ran on H-Net and with the AHA - for the "strong preference" for history of feminism part of the ad - did not mention interviewing at NWSA. I can't imagine they're going to both the MLA and AHA conferences in early January. So my guess - and it's only that - is that they'll do phone interviews for the first round.
