 * What a joke!
 * if I were that visiting lecturer, I'd sure be thrilled that someone was trying to scare off my competition on this wiki. Apply anyway.
 * Oh apply ya, but the odd thing is that the H-Net posting says Jan 23 2012 for the applications. Unless this is a different JOB: https://www.h-net.org/jobs/job_display.php?id=43617.
 * Job advert clearly says 15 Nov. as deadline for applications. The 23 Jan date relates to the removal of the advert from H-Net & I think is generated automatically. AFII 10:07, November 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's not a question of scaring people off, it's a question of lucidity and understanding how the system works. They already know who they want to hire, but they legally have to run a search. I much prefer that the department be this clear about it (and kudos to the VAP for having earned this) than to put effort into an application that has no chance of making it through to the end. If only more departments would be this clear, our lives at this time of year would be much easier.
 * I agree with the above. It's actually really nice of the department to basically say, "We're keeping the VAP but HR says that we have to run the search" in a way that requires very little decoding. I wish that more departments who were just posting the ad as a formality would be more open.
 * Q.: do you have specific inside information from someone in the dept. that this is indeed an "inside" hire? B/c I missed the part in the ad where it says: "we're just going to hire this visiting lecturer so don't bother applying." Also advertising a search in high job season in a high profile venue like H-Net doesn't exactly suggest an inside candidate. So I assume either you have inside information or you're just speculating based on the lecturer's cv and the ad language ... It's a tight market, there aren't so many jobs in this field that one can just skip applying for one based on wiki speculation ... and anything can happen in a search (for one thing, the visitor might actually land a job somewhere else ... it's been known to happen). So I just don't see why, if this is your field, you wouldn't throw your name in the pool, just in case ....

===Florida Gulf Coast University===
 * "Director of the Center for Judaic, Holocaust & Human Rights Studies, Associate/Full Professor" (modified in late October; it appears that the rank is open)
 * "Mentors undergraduate and graduate research with a 2-1 teaching load. In addition to leading the Center for Judaic, Holocaust and Human Rights Studies, pursues external funding and partnerships with community organizations and local schools."
 * "Experience teaching graduate and undergraduate courses in modern European history with emphasis in Nazi Germany and the Holocaust."
 * Deadline date is 11-01-2011 (extended to Dec. 10)
 * The ad reads, "Teaching assignments may be on the main campus or at off-campus sites within our region" -- but that's incorrect (their HR dept. inserts that language in all job ads).
 * In addition to the standard app. items (CV, etc.), they ask for a "Statement of experience with students in research or scholarship as it fits discipline." I wonder what they are looking for? That's quite unusual; perhaps something else their HR dept. put in the ad, which is more appropriate to other disciplines.
 * I found this on their website; this seems to provide some clues as to what they're looking for: "In support of the university's mission, FGCU History faculty place great importance on mentoring our history majors in their research and scholarship.'
 * H-Net (LINK)
 * Also posted at Jewish Studies and Israel Studies 2011-2012
 * Oct. 25: it looks like they've modified the ad - opening up the rank, for example, and in other ways making it more attractive (and open to more applicants): HigherEdJobs.com (LINK)

 * Are these two FIU jobs the same?
 * Two different adverts, different addresses for applications, and the job above is explicitly not tenured and covers the Medieval period. So, probably not! AFII 12:39, October 26, 2011 (UTC)

Mississippi State University

 * Tenure track appointment in 19th or 20th C European History
 * "Successful applicant must be able to participate decisively in one or more of the department’s three Nodes of Excellence: History of Science and Technology; International Security/Internal Safety; and Agriculture, Rural and Environmental History."
 * Deadline: 28 Oct. 2011
 * Ha ha! Same job as last year, with all those dramatic AHA interviews? What the heck happened?
 * No-- this year they are looking for a modern Germanist. Last year they were looking for a French historian.
 * Where is this specialism information coming from? I can't see anything specifying a Germanist in the advert (either linked or on MSU's own jobs page) AFII 14:20, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think someone got confused: Last year, both Georgia Southern & MSU hired French historians (both after frightening interview processes). This year they are both advertizing for a Modern European position. But only Georgia Southern specified that they wanted a German historian. Perhaps the above poster got the two schools confused?
 * What the hell is a "node of excellence"?
 * It's a tumerous academic growth that, if not operated on quickly, can metastasize into a "center of excellence."
 * Funny! But from what I can tell, MSU wants to have clusters of very specific specialities, and they want job candidates to really talk about how their research fits into that specialty.
 * Does anyone have a sense of how extensive the node "Science and Technology" goes? Does it include, for example, medicine/health care?
 * I was wondering the same thing (I am actually applying for the US history job). When I looked on their webpage, the faculty who are listed under science and technology have medicine listed. So I am applying (doesn't hurt right?), but what is this I hear of a frightening interview process??
 * A: see Universities to fear
 * Saw the bits about the interview process on the "Venting Page" here and the Chronicle fora, I believe.
 * For the breadth of a "Node of Excellence," see http://www.msstate.edu/dept/history/graduate-program.htm
 * They had a similar history of science/technology job posted several years ago (2004?), and they were actually hoping to have someone teach agriculture-related courses.

National University of Singapore

 * Tenure track appointment in Modern European History
 * Must be able to teach/contribute to World History and World Civilization survey courses
 * Deadline: 30 Sept. 2011
 * Intended start date: January 2012
 * Polite email informing me that there were "a large number of candidates" and that they will not be proceeding with my application. (31 Oct.) x2 (field: Modern France)

New York University

 * The Center for European & Mediterranean Studies and the Department of History in Arts & Science at New York University invite applications for a faculty position in modern European history (rank open) with a preferred emphasis on transnational issues of European integration and/or European identity. Completed Ph.D. in history is a requirement.
 * The position is to begin September 1, 2012, pending budgetary and administrative approval.
 * The deadline for applications is November 1, 2011
 * Chronicle ad asks for published copies of book reviews, if applicable. Is this a not-so-subtle hint to scare off the soon-to-be and recent PhDs among us?
 * The ad on the NYU website takes out the 'if applicable' bit and just requests published reviews as part of the application. It does seem like they want someone senior.
 * On that note, does anyone know if they will accept applications from ABDs? Would you interpret "completed Ph.D. in history is a requirement" to mean by the time of application, or by the start date for the job?
 * I would assume that means completed by the start date.
 * For online applications like these, do people generally upload a word document? I'm wondering if I need to print it out, sign it, and scan it into a pdf just so that it contains a signature. (I sent word docs, unsigned. But I wasn't sure how to send letters of rec?? So I mailed them regular post)
 * I don't think it's necessary to sign uploaded cover letters. I was actually on a search committee once and most of the applicants did not sign their letters, and this had no relation to whether or not they got interviews. As for the letters of recommendation, unless an online application tells you specifically not to use interfolio, you can enter the interfolio e-mail address for your recommenders, and the system will send a notification to Interfolio asking for the letter.
