Yale University - Art Historian with Specialization in American Art (Open Rank)
Due:  November 1, 2012

First Interview:


 * Any news on this one? (No 1/8; No 1/25 x2)
 * Another poster deleted my earlier comment, so I'll rephrase it as a question: does anybody believe there is still a chance here? I'm under the impression that this ship has sailed. I have no inside information; it's just that November 1 was a long time ago, this is an open rank search, etc. Thoughts? (and please don't delete others' comments!) 1/26
 * I applied to see if I could get a practice interview, since I assume they will choose the candidate in advance and then hold a mock competition . . . My assumption is that if you need to ask, you probably aren't the one.  This is only based on how I think things work at Ivies -- no inside knowledge.  1/26
 * Keep in mind that they have three searches going on right now, two of them open rank, plus graduate admissions -- so it's more likely that the committees are simply buried in files than that they have already determined their favorites. If they invite you for an interview at any stage, you can trust that they are sincerely interested in what you have to offer. (If there's one generalization I can make about the Ivies, or at least this department, it's that they tend not to waste their time on sham interviews.) (1/27)
 * Received email stating that review of applications is still in process. 1/29 (x5) etc?
 * as a prior grad student in this dept, I think that they will hire senior, not junior, and that they frequently invite "guest lecturers" to campus beyond the scope of any active searches, and make sure students show up.  these are the true candidates.  however, I agree, as above poster stated, they do sincerely invite people they are interested in from the "pile."  And truly engage with the work.  It is an honor, but it will not land you a job, but rather, an opportunity down the road. IMHO.  (2/6)
 * skype interview scheduled 2/17
 * Anyone else scheduled for an interview, or just this one?  Odd that this and one of their other searches seem to show one skype interview each--and the third seach has no evidence of interviews at all.  Perhaps it's all happening at a level above Wiki traffic. (2/27)

I know they have been doing rolling Skype interviews; perhaps my timeline has simply been different from yours.


 * I spoke with the administrator who organizes the Skype and campus interviews and she said that the committee has not even met again to discuss campus visits let alone invited anyone (Nov. 13). She is the one who organizes campus visits, so she should know...


 * From someone with inside information: as of this week, 3 invitations have been extended and campus visits scheduled. It's possible that others may be added in the future.

First Interview: CAA interview scheduled 1/18 (x2).

I was contacted 1/18 as well, but I couldn't attend CAA due to financial limits; when I told UNLV, they said perhaps they'd contact me if they didn't have enough CAA interviews from their short list. I emailed them the week after CAA to ask if I could still have a long-distance interview and I've never heard from them. I deduce from this that they are not very worried about discriminating against people based on their socio-economic status and in all honesty, I don't want to work for a school like that anyway (3/6). The department is conducting something like four searches at the same time. I imagine they are thoroughly overwhelmed (3/7)

The appointments may be made as tenured or tenure-track (Professor, Associate Professor, or Assistant Professor of Art History) and are anticipated to start in Fall 2013. The successful candidates will be excellent scholars with the ability to examine art and visual culture from varied perspectives, and will be expected to teach and mentor both graduate and undergraduate students. Senior scholars should have demonstrated potential to be departmental leaders.

Applicants at the assistant professor level should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, writing sample, and three letters of recommendation. Applicants at the tenured associate or full professor level should submit a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, and the names of at least three references.

 * Many thanks for the update!


 * Does this also mean that all of the senior candidates have been contacted? One would assume yes at this point.
 * Have junior-level candidates been contacted? I would also assume yes at this point as well.  Word on the streets is that this not a jr. level search and aren't interviewing anyone jr. (1/30). I heard the same (1/30)  If this is true, I wish they wouldn't have waisted junior candidates time by posting it as an open position. (1/31) previous poster: "open rank" is always code for senior. (2/6) Word on the street: they will try to hire sr. first (since they don't have many sr. faculty right now, but sr. facutly don't always want to move institutions). If that doesn't work or they don't find the right fit, they'll move on to Associate and perhaps Assistant. I don't think it was a question of wasting folks' time but rather not knowing what fish were in the sea (and how things would unfold). (2/7) Word is there are 2 (quasi-) power couples being courted. If this is a determined strategy, armchair opinion is the search will fail. (2/18) As a former grad student at USC, I have to say the previous comment could not be more on the mark. When I was a student there several attempts at getting senior scholars, especially couples, to teach in the dept. ended up failing; the dept. could really use several more junior scholars, but they seem determined to focus on senior scholars (2/19).
