Friends University (KS)

 * Tenure track assistant professorship in US History, to begin no later than Aug. 2014
 * Responsibilities include teaching in United States History and related history courses in a traditional liberal arts college at the undergraduate level...
 * REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS: Ph.D. in American Studies or History. ABDs with evidence of anticipated completion will be considered; Background in contemporary history/politics; Demonstrated passion for and effectiveness in teaching and assessment with a strong commitment to student engagement.
 * PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS: Three to five years of experience teaching History at the college level ... preparation to teach African American/Mexican American history and/or non-Western history; Experience initiating international study abroad courses; Knowledge of Kansas or Midwestern US History.
 * APPLICATIONS: Please visit our web site at http://www.friends.edu/employment to apply. Curriculum vitae, names and phone numbers of three professional references (please note the online application will only require two references to be completed but you must submit three written recommendations) and cover letter must be attached to the online application.
 * For full consideration: 1 Nov. 2013
 * Looking for clarification on the rec letters: The job ad states that you must submit three letters, but it also states that those letters will only be required of finalists. The online application had no instructions on sending rec letters. I assume this means they'll contact people if they want the letters, but otherwise don't bother. Anyone have any clue on this?
 * They want you to submit the contact info for three references, I assume. They will ask for letters only from finalists.  I'm more troubled by the fact that they want you to cut and paste your cover letter, and give you only 600 words.

 * Deadline: 1 Nov. 2013
 * Make sure to do your homework and read the wiki for this same job that was posted two years ago. "Failed search" does not even begin to describe how dysfunctionally the department/administration of Lewis and Clark ran this thing....
 * So wait. This individual (from the 2011 search) did not get the TT job due to the Dean. The students rose up in protest. The department somehow kept her as VAP, but now they are running the same search with the same position description? 2013 must be the year with the record number of obvious inside hires. This one puts UNC-Asheville's to shame.
 * And more than 500 applicants in 2011--thousand of dollars and hours spent by hopeful candidates, and all of it completely wasted.
 * My favorite part was the head of the search committee telling the student newspaper that they had always intended to hire her and the search was, in fact, a fraud. And now they're putting people through it a second time.
 * The H-net listing linked to above is now dead and the posting on Highered has been deleted. Can we assume that the adminstration finally just gave the job to the poor VAP in question?
 * The job is still up at H-NET. Link above has been fixed. Also, the Interfolio link is still working. (10/5)
 * "Poor"? I wish I had a guaranteed job and got a year's paid research leave in order to plump up my publishing record... too many of us who paid out for this the first time around are adjunct.
 * Yes, but solidarity is important. The utter dysfunction of L&C isn't her fault. I hope she gets the job, too, and I hope L&C does the right thing, and not make us all jump through its ridiculous hoops unless it is really, genuinely going to treat us as potential colleagues. For myself, I've already been bruned by them once: I'm not applying--even if it were possible for me to get the job, I don;t want to be part of that environment. Or maybe I will apply just so that the SC has one more application to deal with....

I know because I contacted both departments to verify that they were conducting separate searches and then applied for both of them. I know that the history department made a hire, but apparently the ASRC did not. I'm wondering what happened with last year's ASRC search.

 * Review begins: 1 Oct. 2013
 * This is an inside hire.  There's a very well-liked VAP whom this job ad fits completely.
 * This is actually the most obvious inside hire I have ever seen. Even more so than last year's UMKC and Westminster jobs.
 * UNCA actually has something of a reputation for this kind of thing.  The HIstory Department is good at bringing in VAPs to replace those who move on or retire, then "grandfather" them in if they prove popular with everyone.  They haven't conducted a valid cold search in many years.
 * Sounds curious. How do we know the "well-liked VAP" or a supporter did not write the three prior posts as a means of throwing folks off the trail? I have seen several supposedly "inside hires" work out in varying ways so everyone should take the above comments with many grains of salt. (10/2).
 * I wrote the first of these three, but not the other two.  I have never met the current VAP, but teach at another school in the area & therefore know how he is thought of.  I was merely trying to encourage folks not to get their hopes up, not telling people not to apply.
 * I wrote the third comment, and I know from having been a History major there, and--much later--an applicant for an open position in the department.  I was encouraged to apply by my mentor, and despite an excellent c.v., was not even contacted for a phone interview.  I got the word from a friend (full prof.) in another department about how the search was rigged, and the history of searches in the History Dept.

University of California, Berkeley

 * Tenure-track assistant professor or tenured associate professor, with a start date of July 1, 2014.
 * We are seeking a historian of the United States, any period, with a specialization in women, gender, and/or sexuality.
 * Applications must include a detailed letter, a Curriculum Vitae, all published and unpublished scholarly work ready for examination (such as the dissertation or dissertation chapters, a book or book manuscript, articles, and book chapters), and three letters of reference. Ph.D. or equivalent is required by date of hire.
 * To apply, please go to the following link https://aprecruit.berkeley.edu/apply/JPF00230.
 * Deadline:  21 Oct., 2013.
 * Is the committee really going to read the reams of documents they are asking for?  Why not ask for one sample and then request more from short listers?
 * This appears to be how Berkeley does things. They did the same thing last year in their open US history search. If I had to guess, they are just cutting out an unnecessary stage in the process. They probably do cut to a short list before reading most of the writing samples carefully, but this saves the step of having to go back and ask for new material from that list (and allows them to see what people actually have produced). Seems like a good strategy to me (so long as they are not printing stuff out if they don't read it!)
 * The above poster is problably right - but that said, I applied for a job at Berkeley a few years ago and was lucky enough to get an interview. I've been on the job market for years now and I've never seen a committee read more. Before the interview, at least two members of the committee had read my entire dissertation.
 * So I should be hearing from them any day, right?  This one's in the bag.  Can't be more than me and like 2 or 3 other people . ..

 * Generally, most places will accept materials postmarked by 10/1. Not sure about CMU specifically. Certainly they will not have time to go through the 450-500 applications they will receive for this job and they will have time to add new materials to the file without disrupting the search.

Duquesne University (PA) - Since 1914

 * Tenure track assistant professorship in the History of the United States since 1914,
 * "The successful candidate will have a PhD, an active research agenda substantiated by publication, and will employ an innovative thematic approach to the field.  Candidates must also have some experience in teaching"
 * Teaching load 3/3: including " the graduate seminar in twentieth-century US history, upper-level undergraduate and Masters’ level topical or methods courses, the second part of the US History survey, and courses within the University Core Curriculum"
 * "Duquesne University is Catholic in mission and ecumenical in spirit"
 * Love the selective highlighting there.  [21 Oct.] I generally flag religious affiliation in all posts, not just this one, as it's a serious issue for many applicants.  It's not a comment on this particular job. AFII (talk) 14:25, October 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * "To apply, please send a cover letter, CV, graduate transcript, teaching statement and/or sample syllabi, and three letters of recommendation electronically to [mailto:history@duq.edu history@duq.edu].  The letter and inquiries should be addressed to: Dr. Elaine Parsons,U.S. History Search Committee, Duquesne University, Department of History, 603 College Hall, Pittsburgh, PA  15282"
 * Deadline: 22 Nov. 2013
 * Intend to interview at the AHA
 * Duquesne University: Failing to bargain in good faith and allowing elderly adjuncts to die in abject poverty as part of a proud Catholic tradition. Rerum Novarum anyone?
 * General criticisms of universities or other institutions belong on the Universities to fear page. AFII (talk) 07:22, October 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * It looks like they have a visiting prof. who does "Contemporary History." Does anyone know about the potential for an inside hire in this search?
 * By now, you should realize that every job is most likely an inside hire. The individual there received an ACLS fellowship and a distinguished teaching award at CMU. No doubt his is doing a good job...he looks local to Pittsburgh....so yeah, it is more than likely his. He is one of the lucky chosen ones. You are not.
 * Someone in the York, PA area thinks they should remove my comment just above. I disagree.
 * Universities with high aspirations don't usually hire local PhDs for tenure-track jobs.  Duquesne wants to be perceived as a world-class school, not something for the local yokels.  If the visiting professor has a spouse in the department, I'd think it a possible inside hire.  But if the person just lives in Pittsburgh because he went to CMU and happened to take a temporary job at Dequesne, then I would not assume an inside hire.  Colleges and universities in the 'burgh are really good for hiring each others new PhDs for temporary jobs; this "visiting professorship" could be some sort of glorified (and better paid) adjunct position.  CMU grad students and PhDs teach at every school in the city.  Same goes goes for Pitt PhDs and grad students.  So, who knows if it's an inside hire or just business as usual.  Don't worry about it though.  Just send in your application and don't give it another thought unless you get an interview.

Guilford College (NC) - 20thC

 * Tenure track assistant professorship in Twentieth Century US History, to begin Fall 2014
 * teaching load: 3/3
 * Phd must be in hand by start date.
 * "The successful candidate will participate in the interdisciplinary African and African American Studies program."
 * "Applications must include cover letter, C.V., copy of graduate transcripts, set of teaching evaluations, sample writing assignment, and three letters of recommendation and must be submitted at https://guilford.peopleadmin.com/. Inquiries may be directed to Damon Akins, Search Chair, at akinsdb@guilford.edu
 * Deadline: 1 Nov. 2013
 * Inside-hire alert. But don't take my word for it. Do some research and you'll see, then thank me for saving you the time and money.
 * Good for her. She looks like she has put her time in and she has a book with a very good press.
 * I respectfully call BS on that one. The school should then just promote her to the job as an inside hire, instead of asking for a laundry list from "applicants" (both transcripts and recs cost $$ for most of us) and then running a fake search, including sucking up people's time and $$ at the AHA/on-campus visits for a job they'll never get.
 * Most colleges and universities have rules that make just promoting someone internally to a TT position very difficult -- often they mandate a national search. It certainly is a waste of time and money (and a real insult to the presumed inside hire, too, if they happen to not get hired for their own job), but it's not at all uncommon. I know that doesn't provide any help or insight about this particular search, but it might be helpful to realize that they're not just screwing with us for the sake of screwing with us -- they're screwing with us because of reasons.
 * That makes it all the better then.
 * Of course it doesn't, I was trying to provide some perspective.
 * Perspective appreciated-- and accurate, certainly! But I would add, such committees still have the option to ask only for a cover letter/cv rather than a laundry list/official transcripts etc. AND to Skype their "fake" interviews rather than make people pay out for the AHA.
 * Make sure to spell the name correctly if you do apply. It's Guilford, not Guildford.
 * The great thing about a wiki is that it's possible to edit spelling mistakes - possibly more useful than just pointing it out! AFII (talk) 07:39, September 16, 2013 (UTC)

 * http://www.collegefactual.com/colleges/brenau-university/academic-life/faculty-composition/

 * Deadline: 15 Oct 2013.
 * H-net ad said November 15th, but it looks like their website had October 15th all along.  Did anyone ask about this yet?
 * The due date is November 15th.  The head of the search comittee let one of my referees know.  However, I ultimately decided not to apply for this position because my degree granting institution was not nearly as prestigious as the institutions from which their adjuncts received degrees.  Many of their adjuncts received their Ph.D.s from Oxford, Stanford, Harvard, and Princeton.  In addition, their faculty all have prestigious degrees.  They appear to be a school looking for a candidate with a big name degree and big name fellowships.
 * Is this post supposed to be serious?
