Indiana University of Pennsylvania
Deadline: December 3, 2010

Field(s): Applied Linguistics and Second Language Literacy

Notes:

How can these posts remain, and the one expressing respect for the school and faculty disappear? Who are you people who write such things? I'm pretty appalled and losing complete respect for this wiki, which I thought would be about professional conversation and exchange.

Note from Admin: someone (using a variety of different user names, but seems to be the same person) apparently has a grudge against this school and thus keeps erasing information and posting insulting and vulgar phrases here. Thus, I am putting a special watch on this entry and users who delete information and insult other posters will have their edits reverted and will be temporarily blocked from the site. Please be respectful of others on this site. If you have special concerns about this University, the Talk page is the appropriate place to express them. Thanks. Una74 22:34, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

HR Announcement

Phone interview scheduled for 02 16 (1x). There is an inside candidate. A: Be aware there is an ongoing retrenchment at the Univ., both for tenure and tenure-track appointments (which includes the new hirings). This will transform this position in a kind'a "visiting" position, or non-tenure track after a year, in 2012-13 (even it is a TT position, the Univ. keeps the right to renew a contract annually, without taking into consideration your perfomance): http://www.iup.edu/newsItem.aspx?id=100619&amp%3Bblogid=6291

Anyone invited for on-site interview? [3/16]

Contract was offered and accepted.

Portland State University
Deadline: December 10, 2010

Field: Applied Linguistics

Notes: (Dec. 16) Contacted via email for a phone interview to take place in the first part of January [x3]

Q: The email they sent requesting times for interview availability said that their short list included 12. Anyone know how many applicants there were?

Notes: At the end of the interview, the committee mentioned that the on-site interview pool will be made mid-Jan. I was also told that the on-site interviews will be done in the first three weeks of Feb. (x3)

Q: Has anybody heard about the campus visit yet?

A: Was invited for a campus interview on Jan 21. (x2)

Q: Any word on how many campus interviews are going to be scheduled? My email made no mention of numbers.

A: Three.

A: Actually, there were four campus invites. Decisions will be made this coming week (2/28).

Q: Has the offer been made to anyone yet?

Q. How many of the four finalists at PSU still in the running?

3/15: Received an email that search has been "paused". (Yup, me too--best of luck to all of us!) --> I wasn't a finalist so this news didn't really affect me at this point...(X3)

Q. Is it because of the budget cuts?

A. Yup.

Q. Is a hiring pause and freeze the same thing? Does this mean that PSU search is officially closed for this year?

A: The email did not say that the search is closed, only that it's 'paused' and that because of spring break and exams it could be several weeks before we would hear back (which again, for me is a moot point since I am not a finalist)

A: The impression I got is that all university hiring has been paused subject to budget review. The department is moving forward on ranking the four finalist candidates, but nothing can move forward university-wise (i.e., with an official offer) can't happen until the budget gets freed-up. This hire is for an existing position (it's replacing a retiring professor), so there's currently money for it, but it seems the university is putting a general brake on things. My hunch is that the hire might eventually go through, but this is just a hunch.

Q: I am one of the finalists, but haven't heard about the ranking results yet. If you are the chosen one :), would you please let the rest of us know so we can decide whether we should move on? (although I don't know if the department intends to keep all four informed of the result or not). Thanks!

A: I was a finalist, and just received word that I was not chosen. Congrats to the winner!

I found out two other finalists through the grapevine (I was a finalist too)--neither of them got an offer and I am pretty sure that those were the strongest two. I don't think the school made an offer to anyone.

I got a very nice rejection letter from them... they are great folks. I have heard through the grapevine (two different sources) that they have a short list and will do campus interviews soon.(3/5)

Hi, when did you receive a rejection letter from them, and was it via postal or email? I have not heard back at all from them. (3/5) (x2) Any news?????

I heard a rumor that maybe it was a failed search (meaning none of the finalists was offered the position). (3/29)

Just received an email saying that the search has been closed (most likely permanently) due to lack of agreement among the faculty. (4/7)

University of Houston
Deadline: November 15, 2010

Field: Applied Linguistics (Dept. of English)

Notes: On Linguist List

Additional materials requested (11/15)

Q: The additional materials that were requested, what are they? Writing samples, teaching evaluations...?

A: I was asked for evidence of teaching and writing samples. I have not been contacted for interview. Me neither! The letter they sent about additional materials was so vague.

Invited for videoconference interview. [11/24] [x3, 11/29]

Any updates on this search? Had a videoconference in early December and have not heard anything since, which I am assuimg this means they have invited other candidates to campus. Any news would be appreciated. [Response: I also had videoconference interview in Dec. and have not heard anything since then. I don't know if they've invited people for campus visits or not][x2]

Received rejection letter today. Time for a new rubber stamp, no? [1/22] [x2]

I haven't received the rejection letter yet, and wasn't contacted for a videoconference. At this point I don't know what's going on. Does anyone have the same situation? Any updates on this search would be greatly appreciated.

I haven't received a rejection yet either, though I did have a videoconference in the early part of December. I guess either they're having a tough time making decisions, or they've invited the finalists to campus and are holding off on the rest of the rejections until they've finalized things with their top choice(s). [1/28]

I'm in the same situation. Video interview, then no contact - including no rejection letter. The buildup to the video interview was quite positive, and the logistics of the interview itself (not Skype, but from the technology center on my campus) seemed a little too complex to be repeated by them more than a few times, so I can't imagine a long list of 12 or more. It's odd that none of us have received any notice, though I agree with your assessment above. [1/29]

They have done at least two campus visits already.

Thanks for the update. Best of luck to those still in the running!

Does anyone know if an offer has been made yet? [2/22]

Does anyone know if the department has lost this position or not because of budget cuts? [3/16] x2--still have not heard a thing since videoconference in December!

I am guessing the search is closed without an offer. The job ad is still up there on the university website though. [4/12]
