 * Campus visits were scheduled a couple of weeks ago and are currently under way. (2/11)
 * Seems like an inside hire, frankly. All three candidates are either one search committee member's former student or from Duke in some way... Was this ever a real search? <--- This is actually only true of one candidate.
 * No, sorry - one is from Duke, one from Rutgers, where a prominent search committee member was until recently, and one is their own former postdoc, also that person's student. Sorry, but this seems like nepotism.
 * I completely understand your frustration.  Unfortunately, the academic hiring process is not based on merit.  Duke is not alone in this.  So many other factors go into hiring someone that rejection is rarely an indication of inferiority.  For example, check out this article on the power of the top-tier program.
 * I appreciate the sympathy. But I am from a top-tier and still lose out to nepotism each time. How can women's studies be as corrupt as the old boys' clubs elsewhere? This was a fake search (see also Clayman Gender postdoc at Stanford...)
 * Fair enough.  I suppose it's an indication that WGST is no more immune to the institutionalized bullshit than any other dept.
 * Has an offer been made yet? (3/27)

 * Women and Health, Science, and/or Technology
 * Women and Violence

The Women’s Studies Department at KSU offers an undergraduate Major in Women’s Studies, a Minor in Women’s Studies, a Minor in Queer Studies, and a Graduate Certificate in Women’s Studies. This position will include developing and teaching courses for any of these degrees, at levels varying from general education to graduate courses. Teaching load is 3-2. Position expectations will also include active research leading to publication, service at university and department levels, and advising students; and may include serving on graduate committees in other departments. Successful candidates will demonstrate excellence in the classroom as well as research involvement in their field. Commitment to diversity through pedagogy and course content required. PhD in Women’s Studies by August 2015 preferred; PhDs in related fields as well as ABD candidates will be considered. Salary range $51,000 to $53,000. Information about the department and university can be found at http://www.k-state.edu/womst.
 * Send letter of application, c.v., graduate transcript, and 3 letters of recommendation to Michele Janette, Head, Women’s Studies Dept, KSU, at womst@ksu.edu (all applications should be sent electronically). Deadline: October 15, 2014. (a 20-30 page writing sample and a sample course syllabus to be requested later.) Background check required. Kansas State University is an Equal Opportunity Employer of individuals with disabilities and protected veterans and actively seeks diversity among its employees.
 * Does anyone know about the likelihood of the internal candidates (current VAPs) being preferred here? (Oct 8)
 * Acknowledgement received: 10/23 (email)
 * Request for writing sample and syllabi (email, 10/30) x5
 * Was the request for additional materials made through interfolio or email?


 * I see I now have the option of uploading additional material to Interfolio, but was not contacted by the department – I assume other non-contacted folks are in the same boat and I should ignore this? (11/2) <--- Same here. My Interfolio application now reads as "incomplete" and asks for a writing sample and syllabi. I assume this doesn't actually apply to me, since I wasn't contacted by email?
 * I don't know what's going on with Interfolio, but I recieved a request for additional materials via email (and they asked to send the materials back via email). (Adding: I also received a request through email, with the option of sending materials back through Interfolio or email.)
 * Echoing the above: my interfolio app now reads "incomplete" as well and has new fields to upload a writing sample and syllabi. However, I wasn't contacted by the department. Thoughts? Has anyone in a similar situation contacted the search chair about this? (11/3) (Adding: it seems to me that the Interfolio application now reads as incomplete for everyone who applied, but only some people were contacted through email and invited to submit new materials.)
 * Now I'm confused:  I was one of the people who was asked to send more materials.  What was the preferred method of follow-up?  Uploading to Interfolio or sending material via email?  I think there is contradictory information floating around here (11/4).
 * I too was asked to send more materials to womst@ksu.edu. Seems like they decided to do that for some reason despite the Interfolio option; perhaps they are aware the Interfolio is sometimes not the most dependable? (11/4)


 * skype interview request (11/25)
 * Campus interview request (12/29 x 3)
 * Nicest rejection letter ever. x2 (1/8)
 * Email rejection after skype interview (1/28)

Professor of English and the Study of Women and Gender - OFFER ACCEPTED=== The Program for the Study of Women and Gender (SWG) and the Department of English Language & Literature at Smith College invite applications for an equally shared joint tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor, starting Fall 2015'''. We seek a scholar working at the intersection of questions of race, gender, and sexuality in literary and/or visual texts in the contemporary U.S'''.

We are particularly interested in candidates whose work does not replicate the College's current strengths in African American literature; comparative work is welcome. Successful candidates will demonstrate command of key methodological and theoretical perspectives in both gender studies and literary studies. Desirable additional fields or areas of strength include film and visual culture, critical race theory, drama and performance. We expect the successful candidate to have excellent preparation in literary texts from the twentieth century (and after), and must have prior interdisciplinary graduate training and teaching experience in women and gender studies. A Ph.D. in a relevant field is required by the time of appointment.

The new hire would teach two courses each year in SWG (http://www.smith.edu/swg/) and two in English (http://www.smith.edu/english/). Both programs offer considerable freedom in curricular design. In SWG s/he must be prepared to teach SWG 150, the major's interdisciplinary, team-taught introductory course. In English, s/he would teach a balance of introductory, intermediate, and advanced seminar level courses.

 * Contacted via email for MLA or Skype Interview (12/20)
 * Request for additional materials (writing sample, 2-3 syllabi) 11/18 x3
 * Q: Any advice on how to submit additional materials through Interfolio because the original link is deactiviated; my original submission has not been officially re-opened (will read "Requesting Additional Materials" in parenthesis under it); there's no e-mail or postal mail addresses on the Interfolio e-mail notification requesting addtional materials (just Chair name).
 * A: Go to your delivery history and click "edit" beside your original Smith submission. This will allow you to add "additional documents." Then you can also email as a back up (just google the search chair's name and send it to her email).
 * Thanks, yes, that's how I did it yesterday since it was the only way I could figure out! But I received an addt'l materials request from another univ and the delivery history page changes several things about the original app when it is officially "re-opened." For instance, the delivery will now read "Incomplete" rather than "Complete," and it will read "Additional Materials Requested" in the paraenthesis under the univ name. There will be individual entries for the new things they want rather than just an option to "Add" randomly. You will also get a submission confirmation page once you've done it. Anyway, it's good to know I didn't just upload things to an old app to have it sit there unseen/unsent for all eternity! Thanks for the feedback. Good luck to us.


 * Q: Anyone get interviews? <--- No news yet.<--- Any contact after materials requests? MLA is fast approaching.
 * Contacted via email for MLA or Skype interview (12/20) <--- Anyone else? I'm waiting on any response after addt'l materials request.
 * Email invitation for campus interview (1/15)
 * Offer accepted (2/27)

===St. Lawrence University (NY) - TT Asst. Professor, Gender and Sexuality Studies - OFFER MADE=== The Gender and Sexuality Studies Program at St. Lawrence University is seeking applications for a tenure track Assistant Professor beginning in the fall of 2015. We are seeking candidates working in the areas of gender, sexuality, race and the media. Areas of teaching will include: Gender and Society; Gender, Sexuality and the Media; and either Masculinities or Gender in a Global Perspective. Applicants from interdisciplinary programs with teaching experience in gender and sexuality studies are preferred, but we will consider applicants from Sociology, English, Anthropology, Film Studies, Media Studies, and Modern Languages. Doctoral degrees are preferred, but not required.


 * Interested applicants must apply online at http://employment.stlawu.edu uploading all required materials which are defined in the "special instructions to applicant" section. Applications should be received by November 14, 2014.
 * Question for folks: the job call asks candidates to submit "proof of teaching effectiveness" AS WELL AS "teaching evaluations" as if they are separate things: what on earth constitutes proof of teaching effectiveness if not teaching evaluations? Syllabi?
 * I agree that it is redundant to ask for both "proof of teaching effectiveness" and "teaching evaluations."  When I see the former, I think of a teaching portfolio, consisting of teaching statement, syllabi, and teaching evaluations.
 * Letters of Rec Requested (12/3) x3
 * Has anyone else wondered if this is an inside hire for their current VAP?
 * Were the letters of rec request special from the online application? The online application requested that letters be uploaded online by Nov 14 so I am curious if the two request were in addition to the online application. Has anyone else received any communication?
 * My three letters were also uploaded by my writers after I submitted my application, and I can see in the application system that they were uploaded. So, people w/ requested letters: are these in addition to your three, or because the original three letters didn't get uploaded into the system initially? I haven't heard anything about the position, myself.
 * I use interfolio so it's a bit complicated. Though I included the interfolio email addresses for the letters in my application a month ago, interfolio didn't send the letters until yesterday, I assume because they were never prompted to do so until then. I assume that if I had given direct emails of the letter writers they would not have received the promts until yesterday either. Until I saw this I wasn't sure if it was a mistake on Interfolio's end or if this was their way of passively requesting letters (that they already had access to).
 * This is really weird.  The job ad reads "the required information input in the reference contact information section of your application will be utilized to send a system-derived email requesting a recommendation letter from each reference".  So I assumed, as did my letter writers, that an upload prompt would come from SLU.  Only now am I finding out that prompts were never generated and my letter writers didn't upload anything on my behalf.  It's infuriating!
 * Same as the writer above. Assumed requests would be sent to my referees but they weren't. I checked my application page and noticed that it's now possible to send requests, but there is also a bar that says 'Solicited', and it says 'No' for all of my referees. I take this to mean the university didn't request my references, and perhaps, alas, this means I am out of the running. (12/6)
 * I noticed this too, but I noticed before the deadline and people uploaded letters. However, I rechecked again and one person didn't upload so I sent the reminder for a second time. My guess is that they're noticing a lot of issues with the letter stuff, so I would have your people upload letters now and see what happens. If the rest of your materials meets what they're looking for, they'll request the letters. So I wouldn't take this to mean you're out of the running yet.  (12/6)
 * I asked the chair.  They are only requesting letters of those who advance to the next stage. (12/8)
 * Thanks for the info. To be honest I think that it is really inconsiderate for St. Lawrence to have asked for so much material up-front INCLUDING letters of rec. If they knew that they would only solicit letters for short listed candidates they should have done what most departments do-simply ask for a job letter, CV, writting sample and names of references. I feel like I waisted my time and my letter writters time submitting so much material. The job market is already very stressful there is simply no need to add more time and stress to the process.


 * 12/11 Called to schedule Skype interview. Said they've narrowed it down to ten applicants.
 * Hilarious: these Skype interviews are being held on *Sunday* between 9am-130pm. No exceptions. And no guidelines (suggested topics or questions). This gives candidates 4 days to prepare for a *Sunday morning* interview, about which we have no information. It's ugly out here, folks. Stay strong.


 * Rejection via email (12/16)x2
 * Email rejection 12/16-from the previous comments I am actually glad, I don't want to work for a department that treats applicants this way.
 * Were you rejected after the Skype interview? Curious for those of us who received a request for more materials but not a request for Skype interviews.
 * I did not have a Skype interview. I was never contacted other than a rejection email. (12/17)


 * Has anyone considered that this is an internal hire of their current visiting instructor? Maybe why they seem to be so dismissive of applicants/process.
 * I posted much earlier above asking the same thing... I think it's likely. Obviously not for sure, but given the ad and visitor's work, I could see it happening. (12/17)


 * On campus interview notification today. So, this *might* be an inside hire, but I'm not inside, which means they're at least going through the motions.
 * Big congrats! Do you know how many people they have invited for campus visit? Is their vap a finalist, too?


 * Anyone know if an offer was made here?
 * I emailed the chair last week and she said they had made an offer to another person. BTW: I am an outside candidate as well.[posted 2/26]

I was told that they are unable to offer me a campus interview at this time and all the "nice stuff" about being excited about my work. So this just left me with the impression that they only contacted those who were selected for campus interviews (and I woudn't have known had I not e-mailed).

The department seeks a dynamic candidate with expertise in women's/feminist/gender/sexuality studies who is committed to teaching excellence and to maintaining an active program involving undergraduates. This appointment carries an initial two-year probationary appointment beginning with the 2015/2016 academic year, August 24, 2015. MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS: PhD or equivalent terminal degree with an emphasis in feminist theory and/or feminist studies from a regionally accredited higher education institution by August 24, 2015. ABD applicants may be considered but must complete the terminal degree by January 25, 2016. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS: Demonstrated ability of university teaching in introductory Womens/Gender/Sexuality/Feminist Studies classes, with emphasis on transnational/global feminisms. Preparation to teach in our LGBTQ Certificate Program a strong additional asset. Evidence of strong scholarship or scholarly potential, demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusiveness. Additionally, we seek candidates who value liberal education and want to join us as we develop and implement an innovative outcomes-based Liberal Education Core program in fall 2016. DUTIES: Teach a 12-credit course load each fall and spring semester, consisting of required courses for the Women's Studies program or other courses as assigned by the Women's Studies Program director; engage in research and scholarly activities; provide academic advising to students as assigned; and participate in program, college, and university committee work.

 * Applications are submitted electronically. Please follow instructions found on the following UW-Eau Claire Web site: http://www.uwec.edu/Employment/uweccareers.htm.
 * Click the link to the Womens Studies Assistant Professor position (TAM ID #9927) and then click the "Apply Now" button to submit your application electronically.
 * To ensure consideration, completed applications must be received by December 1, 2014. However, screening may continue until position is filled.
 * Position looks tailor-made for their current VAP (11/10) (Agreed. 11/22)
 * Skype interview request (12/3)
 * Skype interviews were requested on Dec. 3, two days after the deadline? It really looks as though they're looking for an internal hire then. (12/5)
 * Wow. They aren't even trying to not be obvious, apparently. (12/8)
 * ^^How is this helpful? (12/9)
 * While the info-sharing that happens on this wiki can be great, it's worth taking any news (especially around "inside hires") with a grain of salt.  Most inside hires don't advertise widely; they do the very bare minimum of advertising to meet the criteria set out by the Dean and higher ups. Besides, I've seen posts announcing that (a single !) person has a Skype interview for positions that I happen to know the SC hasn't even met to discuss yet.
 * Second the "grain of salt" comment. I just received an email saying that my letters for this search had not come through and could I please submit them by December 15 if I would like to be considered for the position. Doesn't sound as if the commitee has even begun reading applications.     (x4).
 * I received the same email earlier today which is weird because I sent my letters through interfolio back in Sept.   I sent them again directly to the admin person who made the request.
 * Same here about the letters. Nothing from them since then.
 * Any news on this position? Were Skype interviews set????
 * Dean cancelled the search; thanks Scott Walker! [posted 2/1] <--Did you get an email or did you call?
 * Does anyone know if they anticipate the search being renewed for next year?
 * Yes, Walker's proposed budget cut, masquerading as an "autonomy" plan, has lead to massive cuts at EC. The fear now is keeping the WMNS program alive. We need people around the nation, around the state, to publicize the attack on intellectualism, on higher education, and on the improved quality of life promised in the Wisconsin Idea. The wiki is a place to air grievances, ask questions, get information, but maybe it could also be a place to mobilize voices.

Virginia Commonwealth University (VA) - Assistant or Associate Professor (Gender, Sexuality & Women's Studies) - OFFER ACCEPTED
The Department of Gender, Sexuality and Womens Studies (GSWS) in the College of Humanities and Sciences at Virginia Commonwealth University invites applications for a tenure-eligible position at the assistant or associate level. We seek a candidate with a strong potential for teaching and a clear research agenda in the area of Transgender and/or Queer Studies.

The successful candidate will have training in a social science field with a specialization in the areas of health and/or public policy.For the Assistant Professor level, the faculty member will be required to have an established research agenda and a clear potential for external funding, and potential for scholarship or creative expression to complement and expand existing expertise in the department. For Associate Professor level, the faculty member will be required to have a well-developed scholarly/research portfolio with evidence of multi-disciplinary applications and external funding appropriate to complement and expand existing expertise in the department. Of particular interest are candidates who bring interdisciplinary and global perspectives to their work. Preference will be given to candidates with teaching experience.

Qualifications expected of candidates include a PhD in a social science, or the equivalent terminal degree in a health- or health policy-related field, in hand by August 2015, and a record of or demonstrable potential for excellence in scholarship. Demonstrated experience working in and fostering a diverse faculty, staff, and student environment, or a commitment to do so as a faculty member at VCU, is required.


 * Candidates can apply online at http://www.vcujobs.com. Submit a letter of application, CV, a writing sample in PDF format, and a course syllabus in PDF format (Note: please submit the writing sample and the syllabus under the websites category for Other Documents). Three letters of reference should be sent to the Search Chair at [mailto:gsws@vcu.edu gsws@vcu.edu] with the applicants name in the subject line.

For additional information, visit our website at http://gsws.vcu.edu/ or direct your questions to Dr. Karen A. Rader, chair of the committee, at karader@vcu.edu.
 * Does anyone know why/how a PhD candidate in the program at VCU has also been an Assistant Professor in the department for the last 5 years? It seems ... a bit unusual. So is this position basically a way to promote to Associate their PhD student (who also has an MA and BA from VCU)?  Talk about an "inside candidate."
 * Are you sure it's for her? The call is for someone with a social science training/background and she is getting a humanities PhD and has an MFA. Also, it's for someone rooted in health or health policy - I don't see any of that directly reflected in her CV.
 * I highly doubt it would be for her, they would not open a search for someone that already has a TT line inside the dept, there would be no need.
 * She doesn't do social science, health or health policy.  Not an inside hire.


 * Was notified I was missing a letter today and asked to re-request it ASAP. I'll pretend this means they like me and not that they did it for everyone. ;) Good luck everyone!
 * I got that email too. At least they are treating everyone equally!
 * Anyone contacted for an interview yet? Any movement?
 * Request for skype interview (1/16) ×5
 * Any movement? Campus invites?
 * Campus Visit invite via phone call (2/3)
 * Did anyone else get invited out? Or is there only one?

 * Any word?
 * Offer Accepted (3/24)
