 * ^^This is my first year on the job market, but isnt this an insanely fast turn around? Just trying to know when to give up hope approximately...
 * I've been on the market for seven years. I've received rejections anywhere from two days to eighteen months after searches close, and of course (too) many departments never send a formal noification. Still, for those that do, I'd guess the average time from deadline to the first cut is somewhere between two weeks and a month, depending on the school, size of the application pool, and mood/efficiency of the hiring committee. I would't panic if you don't hear back after a week or two for most jobs.

University of Pittsburgh (USA:PA) - 19th C

 * Tenure track assistant professorship in African American History, focusing on the eras of slavery and/or Reconstruction.
 * Applicants should submit a dossier ... at the following link https://facultysearch.as.pitt.edu/apply/index/MjI4. The dossier must include: a cover letter containing a description of academic background and teaching experience, current curriculum vitae, email contact information for three recommenders, a research statement (2-3 pages with chapter descriptions, if appropriate), a writing sample (either an article-length essay or dissertation/book chapter including references), and a diversity statement that discusses how past, planned, or potential contributions or experiences relating to diversity, equity, and inclusion will advance the University’s commitment to inclusive excellence. Upon submission, each recommender will receive instructions for uploading letters to our system. Please notify recommenders that their letters are due by October 1, 2018.
 * Questions can be directed to Kathy Gibson at kag36@pitt.edu.
 * Deadline: 1 Oct. 2018.
 * [12 Oct. 2018] Additional materials requested x2
 * [4 Nov 2018] SKYPE Interview scheduled
 * [15 Nov 2018] Campus Interview scheduled
 * [17 Dec 2018] Two offers extended
 * [22 Dec 2018] Both offers accepted
 * [13 Jan 2019] Wait, two offers accepted for one job? What am I missing here?
 * [13 Jan 2019] It's uncommon but not unheard of. R1s with deep pockets will sometimes let departments make an extra offer if the dept chair can make a compelling reason to the dean. In addition, Pitt tries to hire rockstars who are often juggling multiple offers or might leave after a year or two so there is likely some 3-dimensional chess going on here. Rather than make just one offer and potentially lose out on both your 1st choice, who is playing you for a counteroffer at their home institution, and your 2nd choice, who already has an offer in hand and needs to make a decision, make offers to both and let the chips fall where they may.
 * It is very common for departments to ask for two candidates to be hired in searches where there is either extrodinary talent or extrodinary need or a combination of both. Some searches are also priority hires for the university.
