 * The Sound Media position is most likely being set aside for the current VAP in that department, who has already taken a leadership role within the program and is pretty good buddies with the DGS. Never hurts to apply, I guess, but folks might want to know what they are getting into. Also, the Media Industries spot is a holdover from a failed search last year, so there may well be someone already in mind for that as well. Just a heads up.
 * NU faculty here. Three things. (1) We don’t do searches with predetermined outcomes. Even when someone has been “targeted” (encouraged to apply), there are no guarantees; several such searches have not gone the way one might have thought. (2) Because we’re a financially well-off private university, with suitable applicants it’s possible that one line magically turns into two; I’ve seen it happen. (3) Sometimes an applicant gets noticed but not hired (“not really what we have in mind for this position, but really interesting”)—and then gets hired in a subsequent search; seen that happen too. Bottom line: don’t be discouraged from applying on the basis of who you think is in the pool.
 * ^^#3 I had campus interview for job -- not at NU -- that I didnt get (VAP got the job). Got a call 3 months later saying they had another TT line and asking if I was still available (I was not).
