NOTES:
 * Also posted at Romanticism/Victorian/19th 2017
 * This is a VERY specific list of desired expertises, and, lo and behold, they've got a non-tenure track visitor who meets all the criteria.
 * I typically discourage this sort of worry, given the actual record on "inside hires," but the specificity of this posting is truly unlike anything I've seen in eighteenth-century jobs in past years. Certainly not your typical "subspecialty" category language here.
 * Yes, I'm usually skeptical as well. But the reason I pointed this out is that it's so egregious. The listing on higheredjobs doesn't contain the specialization language (that's practically taken from a dissertation title). I don't know if they had second thoughts or whether the version we have here was tampered with. There might be an earlier version up on highered that I missed. I think we should apply anyway.
 * This seems like a genuine inside hire. Few really ever are, even if there is an insider. Most times inside hires fail. Everyone should apply.

 * Try searching British, not English. It's position# 33256
 * The online application was removed early. I had applied on 11/30, then realized that I had a typo in my cover letter. I went back midday on 12/2, had to withdraw my first application since I couldn't change the uploaded documents, then tried to submit a new one with the corrected document, but the online application for the position had already been removed from the HR site. I emailed HR and got a form letter stating that they couldn't reactivate my withdrawn application and that I should "check back for new postings on Fridays." Serious incompetence at this school's HR.
