Medieval
'''How many medievalists are on the job market (and checking this wiki)? 19'''

Is anyone interested in breaking down our numbers by our current status, e.g. ABD, Defended, VAP, postdoc, in a TT job, etc... Or is this too much information to give out? --Why not. ABD: 3; ABD/VAP: 2; postdoc: 3; TT: 4; unemployed Ph.D.: 4; VAP: 2; none of the above: 1!

 * Via e-mail.
 * I did not get the email saying it was frozen and it is still posted - did more than one person get the notice?
 * I got the email and I was not the one who posted the information, so that's at least two. But perhaps we should keep a count. Received the email: 5
 * Did not receive e-mail: 3
 * (For what it's worth, Emory's HR website still lists this position: )

Medieval/Early Modern
Ursinus College Kalamazoo College

 * Posted ~14 August 2008; applications due 1 December 2008
 * 11/18 received acknowledgment letter, indicating they would contact people for further material in early December
 * Posting
 * Medieval/Early Modern Europe.
 * Applications due 31 October 2008
 * Posting
 * Received Acknowledgment 10/31
 * SC contacted some candidates to ask whether they would attend AHA. During the course of this conversation, SC indicated that they would contact short-list for interviews on or before December 5th.
 * [I deleted confusion over what the above-mentioned contact was about.]

Cornell College
 * Email rejection on 11/26. Thanksgiving a day early!
 * Medieval/Early Modern Europe.
 * Applications due 14 November 2008
 * Posting
 * Department website and this tidbit from the advertisement makes it look a bit like a current VAP has something of an edge: "we welcome candidates who are also able to teach courses in the history of the Ottoman Empire or the early modern Islamic world"
 * Received acknowledgment letter 11/22
 * BTW, nicest acknowledgment letter EVER.
 * I agree! Could make you want to live in IA!
 * Oh, yes. I'd sell my mom for parts for this job. (No offense, mom!)

Marlboro College
 * Europe prior to the 20th century
 * Review of applications begins November 24
 * Received acknowledgment letter 11/22
 * Is there any reason this is listed as Medieval/ Early Modern? It's listed as "pre-20th century" which seems like modern to me unless someone knows something beyond the posting.
 * Marlboro is a tiny college (under 400 students, under 40 faculty), so "pre-20th century" means exactly that. Medieval/Early Modern is as good as any other classification, it would appear...

Early Modern Europe
Out of curiosity - how many people have we got active on this thing? Change the number below if you're here:

25 

Q: But this seems like a poor measure--how many people bother? A: I'm just trying to assess how complete the information here is because I had no idea whether there were two people or two hundred. If there are 100 people posting, silence on any given job says that the committee has not yet contacted candidates because someone in that group would have gotten an interview. If there were just two people, it would be less helpful as a source of information. With sixteen posters (as I write) I think this is probably pretty accurate, at least for the AHA stage of things. (That said, I'm only applying for two jobs, so I'll be no help at all!)

From the medievalists: Is anyone interested in breaking down our numbers by our current status, e.g. ABD, Defended, VAP, postdoc, in a TT job, etc...

Active Postings for 2008-2009''' (Archive of 2007-2008 wiki)

Adelphi University
 * Associate Professor Position
 * Deadline: Immediately
 * Contacted for AHA Interview by e-mail Nov. 26

Michigan State University
 * Early Modern Europe, c. 1500- c. 1800
 * Application Deadline is December 1
 * Rank Open

Princeton University
 * 2 Early Modern Europe (1400-1800)
 * 1 early modern Britain (1400-1700)
 * Positions are open rank.
 * Posted 11 July 2008; applications due 15 October 2008
 * Requested additional materials, 10-22
 * I imagine they'll decide that the assistant-professor level position will be in either early modern Europe or early modern Britain; does anyone know which way they're going?
 * A friend of mine was told by someone in their department that the early modern Britain position will be at the assistant professor level.
 * Email from SC indicates that they will not contact Early Modern British applicants until short-list is complete.
 * They have invited one senior Reformation historian to campus and are pursuing another senior eighteenth-century French historian. The British search is being delayed for a few weeks as they have decided to concentrate on filling the continental positions first.
 * So are you saying that they ARE NOT looking for any continental people at the assistant professor level?
 * I was the one who posted that a friend of mine had been told that the early modern Britain position would be at the assistant professor level. But I recently heard that a senior British historian had been invited to campus.  Go figure.  Certainly it's not impossible that they could fail to get the senior people that they want, which would mean that they might end up going junior with one or more of these searches.
 * And I was the one of those who posted that they weren't going to move on the British position just yet. As you say, go figure.
 * I recently heard that they wanted to fill the senior position (undecided which) before moving to the junior searches, so that the senior faculty could have input on the hiring process. So, junior people might not hear until winter or next year.
 * This makes sense. This department is famous for long, drawn out searches, so it might be a while before they turn to the junior slot.
 * I applied for the continental Europe positions, and I just received a letter saying they would speak to short-listed candidates in early Decmeber
 * Just got a letter from Princeton: concentrating on continental European posts in the fall, will move on to the British post in the spring, we should expect to hear abot the next stage of the competition toward the end of February 2009.

 * 11/3 - Update: Email from search chair says that the search is up in the air. They are asking the Administration for permission to go ahead with it, but have not yet received a response.
 * Bah - Email from search chair says that the job has been postponed to next year.
 * Sigh - The one job whose qualifications I actually fulfilled.
 * Two things to cheer you up: 1) The chair was very clear that the job will be back next year. 2) I would have gotten it this year, and if all goes well I will not be on the market next. :)

 * Louisiana Tech University

 * 11/12 - receipt of application acknowledged (snail mail)
 * 11/7 - AHA Interview scheduled (phone)
 * 11/7 - AHA interview scheduled (phone)
 * 11/7-AHA interview scheduled (email)
 * (11/21) Is it odd to anyone that supposedly "review of credentials will begin on Nov 15", but AHA interviews were already set up on Nov 7? Now, I made sure my app would arrive before Nov 15, but I'm wondering if this all wasn't just a waste of time. Would a SC assume that all the best apps arrive at least 2 weeks before the due date? Anyone have any suggestions/speculations?
 * I also thought this was very odd and I'm not sure what to make of it. I sent my materials off after 7 November, but I have yet to hear anything from them outside of the standard acknowledgement letter.  Maybe they already had several candidates in mind? (11/21)
 * As a sympathetic but senior observer: send your applications in before the deadline! It is unfair, even irrational, but every job search committee I have been on has had at least one member who would not look at applications that arrived just before (a week; a couple of days; it depends) the deadline.

 * University of Cincinnati
 * November 15, 2008
 * Hiring freezevery sorry. found this info on the university's website, but it was an old page.
 * Where did you get this info.? I just spoke with the History Dept. at the U of Cincinnati and they assured me that they were unaware of any freeze that was going to impact the status of the German history search.  As of right now, it's on.
 * There is no hiring freeze at the University of Cincinnati at this time. The Dean of Arts and Sciences has assured the Department of History that this search - and the other for Modern European History - is still on.  Interviews will take place at the AHA.
 * 11/25: writing sample request (e-mail)
 * Do you know if they contacted your references? I had rec letters sent as part of my original application. To my knowledge, they have not contacted my referees further.
 * I got an email from the SCC stating that they were interested in my application, but had not received my letters (I was under the impression they would contact the references if they wanted letters)
 * Right---the online application instructions said not to send letters, just to list the referees and their contact info. I wonder if there's been some kind of mistake.
 * This was/ is confusing. The H-Net listing for this job had different instructions than those from the University of Cincinnati's Human Resources page.  From H-Net I understood  that applicants should have three letters of recommendation sent to the search committee chair.  I actually called him up in September and he said to send the recommendations along. Maybe, in the end, it didn't matter.

 * That was fast. Does this letter say if they've already made an offer?
 * also rejection. no info about decisions made
 * Got my rejection letter today too. (11/14) The letter didn't state if they had hired someone, but it sounded like they had only settled on a short list and were now going to ask for additional materials. At least it was a classy letter.
 * I haven't heard anything at all as of 11/17; no rejection, no request for other materials
