 * Area of specialty is open.
 * PhD in History required by date of appointment.

Three letters of recommendation should be sent directly to U.S. History Search Committee, History Department, Miami University, 200 Upham Hall, 100 Bishop Circle, Oxford, OH 45056, or emailed to schanejl@miamioh.edu.
 * Screening of applications begins 15 Sept. 2014, and will continue until the position is filled.
 * Acknowledgement of application received, 9/05 (x2)
 * Has anyone else completed the application, received a confirmation number, and not had their application acknowledged? (Same poster--nevermind, it went into my "junk" folder)
 * Request for a writing sample (diss chapter or article) and "evidence of teaching excellence." Email also indicated tight timetable; they want to conclude the search by the end of the semester. Rec'd 9/26. x2
 * FWIW, they could easily fill both these position with their current VAPs. I wonder if that's why they're trying to wrap this up before AHA.
 * Would anyone contacted be willing the share their research area? It was such a broad search
 * Normally, I'm opposed to the early reveal of information, but since the search is so broad, I'd like to see if anyone would be willing to share their chronological focus.


 * Rejection received via e-mail (9/29) x4
 * Rejection received via e-mail (9/29)
 * Rejection received via e-mail (9/30)
 * That was quick. Rejection received via e-mail (9/29)
 * So I realize, reading this, that I never received an acknowledgement of application received (I applied on 9/12). It looks like this thing has sailed, but for future reference, what did the acknowlegment indicate? (I don't know how my application didn't get received. The online Miamia system says it did...)
 * The acknowledgement did not contain any detail. The rejection only stated that the committee had received "hundreds of very impressive applications." It seems like this is a rolling process, so this is one of those cases in which no news is actually no news.
 * The acknowledgement I rec'd said something like "we have received your application, and will give it full consideration, etc." and I got it a day or two after submitting the application. The rejection email mentioned the "hundreds of impressive applications."

I received neither a rejection nor a request for more materials - anyone else in that boat? (10/8)
