Russian 2009-2010

Уважаемые коллеги! Добро пожаловать! The 2009-10 hiring season has arrived. A few guidelines to keep things neat:
1. Please update the Wiki with new searches, canceled searches, notifications of interviews, campus interviews, and concluded searches/offers.

2. When adding new searches, please list the institution name in alphabetical order. If an institution is conducting more than one search in the field, list the university and the position name in parentheses beside it, creating two separate entries for updates.

3. When updating the status of searches, please give the means by which you learned of the news and also the date, i.e., Interview scheduled (phone), 12/15/09; Search cancelled (word of mouth), January, 2010; Rejection (mail), 3/17/10.

4. Add all updates underneath the name(s) of the institution(s).
