Load is 3-3 (usually no more than 2 preps), but research grants to fund course releases are not hard to get at least every other year. Most importantly, the department is very friendly and apolitical.

 * Review begins 5 Dec. 2014
 * Same position advertised two years ago; offers were made but declined so search failed. Better luck this time?
 * From last time: "Salary actually wasn't too bad ($70K); offer declined for better one elsewhere. Bigger problems had to do with the teaching load/mix; restricted opportunities for grad teaching and mentoring; some depts. were better/worse than others (one dept. didn't even allow its faculty to teach a grad. level class more than once every three years). Worryingly TA support didn't seem to be gauranteed despite the large class sizes, some profs. complained they had to do all the grading for their large surveys classes themselves."

 * They sent an email to all of last year's applicants, telling us not to update our materials. That says to me they're not interested in any of us, they only want shiny new PhDs.
 * (10/30), truly though, all earned PhDs acquire a bit of tarnishing in the getting.
 * Re: above: I don't know who you are, but I love you.

The wording has changed slightly in terms of now excluding anyone who works 'exclusively on Britain or France', but last year's finalists did not work exclusively on these, either.

 * Northwestern doesn't usually do interviews--they just ask for further materials and then invite people to campus.

 * The closing date for the receipt of applications is 15 Oct 2014.

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.
 * 4 November 2014 - Search has been POSTPONED for one year due to budgetary restrictions.  They plan to advertise this position again in the summer with a start date of July 1, 2016.

University of Pennsylvania (USA: PA) - modern Western, 1789-1989 [inc. Brit, excl. Ger.]

 * Tenure track assistant professorship in Modern Western European History, 1789-1989, including Britain and excluding Germany
 * "Field is open and we welcome national and transnational approaches. The candidate will participate in the undergraduate and graduate teaching mission of the Department.  Receipt of the Ph.D. is expected by the time of appointment"
 * "Submit applications online at  http://facultysearches.provost.upenn.edu/postings/266 Include a letter of  application, curriculum vitae, writing sample, and the contact information of three individuals who will provide a letter of recommendation. Recommenders will be contacted by the University with instructions on how to submit a letter to the website.  If the writing sample is part of a dissertation or larger project, include an abstract statement explaining the writing sample’s relationship to the larger project"
 * Deadline: 7 Nov. 2014.
 * Intend to interview at the AHA
 * Does anyone know the reason for this posting? Is Jonathan Steinberg retiring?
 * FWIW: Kristen Stromberg Childers was Penn's Modern France historian. She was denied tenure under controversial circumstances: http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2014/04/30/female-faculty-member-sues-over-tenure-denial-she-attributes-child-care-duties.
 * 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)

 * Open-rank appointment in modern European history since 1750 in any field excluding Russia, beginning July 1, 2015.
 * Applications are invited from scholars at all levels. Applications are welcome from junior historians who already hold teaching positions, as well as from recent PhDs and those who expect their PhD by the time of appointment. 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.
 * Has anyone heard anything?
 * Request for AHA interview x2 (10/30)
 * Crap--only two weeks to heartbreak. Gotta respect the efficiency, though.
 * Could those who got an AHA interview please indicate their fields (time period, geographic region) and their academic standing? Thanks!
 * Any more movement on this one? Or is it time for us non-invitees to move on?
 * If they made their decisions just two weeks after the deadline -- which I highly doubt -- something fishy is going on. Second, my suspicion is that they would not invite mid-level or more senior scholars to the AHA. In short, I'm a bit skeptical about the 10/30 post about AHA interviews.

Texas State University-San Marcos (USA; TX) post-1783

 * Tenure track assistant professorship in Modern British History (post-1793), to begin Fall 2015
 * Applicant will be expected to teach advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in modern British history, as well as advanced undergraduate courses in Modern European history and survey courses in World Civilization.
 * Required: Expertise in modern British history (post- 1783) as demonstrated by dissertation and/or research and publications; Ph.D. completed by appointment date.
 * A complete application comprises a letter of application, a CV, an article-length writing sample, and three letters of recommendation. Email submissions are preferred. Please send materials to: Dr. Dennis Dunn, [mailto:dd05@txstate.edu dd05@txstate.edu], Department of History, Texas State University, 601 University Drive, San Marcos, TX 78666.
 * For full consideration: 31 Oct. 2014.
 * I have been hesitant to apply, even though TSU seems like a great place to teach. The department likely has an inside candidate
 * ... you mean, somebody who currently works there in a non-TT capacity may or may not be applying for the job. Which could mean a lot, or it could mean a little, or it could mean nothing at all. There are plenty of perfectly good reasons not to apply for a particular job. This isn't one of them.
 * That is true. I am simply curious. I will likely apply despite my reservations


 * Yes, I can confirm that TSU has an inside candidate and he's not just a run-of-the-mill adjunct.  His CV is really solid.  But I'm applying anyway -- why would you not?!
 * This inside candidate has a very solid CV, so it's reasonable to assume, given the oddly 'large' number of TT modern Britain/British empire posts this year, the individual in question might end up taking another job, doubt it though as they appear established in Texas.


 * Request for Phone Interview 11/10 (x 2)

 * Maybe they just realized they didn't want to read applications on Thanksgiving.
 * The most likely explanation is a miscommunication between the Search Committee and the University's HR department, which actually places and pays for the listing.
 * The requested statement on contribution to diversity was curious. What if a candidate is not a particularly "diverse" individual?
 * Indeed it was "curious." I know it is early yet, but has any heard anything?
 * The diversity statement was identfied as "optional." can we get some general idea of how many people actually submitted one?
