University of British Columbia (CAN: BC)

 * Tenure track assistant professorship in the history of early modern Europe, expected start date 1 July 2015
 * The department is interested in candidates who focus on the history of western or central Europe during the period 1450-1700. All applications are welcome, but preference will be given to scholars whose work complements and expands on the department’s existing strengths.
 * Candidates must possess a Ph.D. (or provide solid indication of imminent completion), and they should provide evidence of excellence in research, as demonstrated by their published contributions or by potential contributions to the scholarship of their field.
 * Teaching Load: 12-credits (2/2) " a strong commitment to teaching excellence at the undergraduate as well as graduate level also is required. In addition to offering courses within his or her area of specialization, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to contribute to the university’s interdisciplinary undergraduate program teaching lower division courses in European History, 1500 to the present and/or the global history of the period of 1500-1900.

We especially welcome applications from visible minority group members, women, aboriginal persons, persons with disabilities, persons of minority sexual orientations and gender identities, and others with the skills and knowledge to engage productively with diverse communities. We encourage all qualified persons to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents of Canada will be given priority.
 * Applicants must apply only through the UBC faculty careers website, http://www.facultycareers.ubc.ca/18834
 * The closing date for the receipt of applications is 15 Oct 2014.
 * I contacted the chair of the search committee about the clumsy wording of the job posting, which suggested that people with "visible" disabilities were encouraged to apply. He replied that Canadian law does not provide for "affirmative action" requirements in hiring. He suggested that the University of British Columbia only hires the most qualified candidates. No one would ever question that UBC only hires the best candidates. However, disabled people - like myself - do not require "affirmative action" laws to secure employment as academics. UBC only hires the best candidates, unless they are Canadian, in which case all other considerations are cast aside.

 * Oh dear...sigh.
 * That explains why this search seems so poorly run. They want Ivy league at short notice.
 * What seems poorly run about it? The advertisement is clear, advertised in plenty of time, etc.?
 * Warning: Penn's history dept. has had a disastrous record of tenuring recently-hired scholars (though the problem seems to be with higher-ups in the Personnel  Committee). In addition to the Childers case, there was the Ronald Granieri debacle in 2010.
 * What happened in 2010?
 * Do a Google search for "Ronald Granieri tenure" and you'll get the idea. I don't know the details but the poor guy had published more than enough, was considered a brilliant teacher, and was recommended for tenure but didn't get it. Leading to student protests!

Yale University (USA: CT) - since 1750 (Open Rank)

Applications are also welcome from senior scholars at the level of full or associate professor.
 * All applicants should submit a letter of application, C.V., statement of research and teaching interests, and junior applicants must also submit a chapter-length writing sample prepared for blind reading, as well as three letters of reference at http://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/Yale/HIST.
 * The review of applications will begin 15 Oct. 2014 and continue until a suitable candidate is found.
 * Does anyone know how long a research and teaching statement should be? I have usually seen that information included in the letter of application.
 * Is this job for real or are they bringing someone up for tenure and trying to see if they are the greatest in the galaxy or whatever? (Yale used to run open rank searches whenever they were doing a tenure case to compare the candidate to outsiders...I don't know if they do this anymore).
 * They still do this, but I don't know if that's the case with this hire. Does anyone have inside info?
 * Adam Tooze is leaving; I assume it's to replace him...
 * Actually, I believe they don't do this anymore, changed the procedure a while back; so Tooze is leaving for CU, this is confirmed? Few weeks ago I heard it was still undecided.
 * Yale no longer does the terrible open search thing to tenure, so it's not that. Their modern France/WWI scholar was recently denied tenure.
 * Also, Yale's modern Britain/WWI scholar is retiring.
