Introduction


 * If you are applying for academic jobs in history during the 2008-2009 school year, this wiki is for you. Since history departments do not always do a good job of notifying applicants about the status of their search, this wiki allows job applicants to share their updates with each other.  Through this collaborative effort, job searchers can provide the latest news on the dates and status of phone interviews, conference interviews, campus visits, job offers, and acceptance of job offers.  As we work together, we can help keep search committees more honest.  If you are unsure whether a search committee has acted inappropriately, review the AHA guidelines and standards that are linked below.
 * Our goal is to list below all known open searches, by regional and topical specialization. Please check the below job listing web sites frequently and add new searches as they appear on the Internet.  Try to match, as closely as possible, each job with one or more of the below categories.  In some instances, an open search may need to be listed in more than spot below.  Consider adding a link to the job announcement so that other users can find the job description quickly.  Please start each new sub-entry with a "star."  When adding news about a search, finish your note with the date in parentheses. This keeps entries easy to read and makes development over time more clear. Thanks!
