African
There are a bunch more Africanist positions out there, but I don't get the sense that the people reading this board really need links to them. Please correct me if I am wrong and I will try to find some time to link to them.

Armstrong Atlantic State Univ.. Bridgewater State University College of the Holy Cross
 * Deadline: Nov. 1
 * Doesn't look like the greatest job; 4/4 load, for example
 * "tenure track position in the history of Africa and the Atlantic World, exclusive of the United States"
 * Interviewed there a few years ago for a different search. Very nice people, but heavy teaching load. Tenure requirements are adjusted, though.
 * Claim to be hiring a World/African Historian at the link above, but I cannot find any more information on it anywhere. Has anybody else had any luck??? (9/27)
 * Link is now working (10/18)


 * Precolonial Africa and African Diaspora


 * Deadline: October 15

Columbia University


 * "All periods and specializations in Sub-Saharan Africa, excluding West Africa and Francophone Africa, are welcome."
 * Deadline: September 7
 * Additional materials requested (9/20)
 * campus visits for 3 shortlisted candidates currently being conducted
 * Thanks (10/15), good to know someone else is checking this board.
 * Info about the campus interviews might be BS since the job ad stated that interviews would be conducted at the ASA meeting in November.
 * Not BS. Email to dept confirming 3 finalists scheduled for Oct. (10/18)

Florida Gulf Coast University


 * Deadline Nov. 2


 * "ability to teach courses in the history of Africa and the Middle East....Preferred Qualifications: Research field in Sub-Saharan Africa, in any period from the 15th through 18th century. A sub-specialty complementary of the history program's existing strengths."
 * In addition to a cover letter, CV, etc., they ask for this: "Statement of experience with students in research or scholarship as it fits discipline." I've been on the job market for several years (like most of us!), and I've never heard of such a thing; does anyone know how to interpret this?
 * I found this on their website; this seems to provide some clues as to what they're looking for: "In support of the university's mission, FGCU History faculty place great importance on mentoring our history majors in their research and scholarship. In recent years, we have helped our students prepare conference presentations and publish their work. FGCU History professors assist our students' research and scholarship in other ways, such as working with them one-on-one to prepare for graduate school."
 * The job ad reads, "Teaching assignments may be on the main campus or at off-campus sites within our region" -- but this inaccurate (it is probably inserted into all job ads by their HR dept.). There are no "off-campus sites"; the position is definitely for the main (and only) campus.
