 * 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).


 * Any news on this? (11/6)
 * Anyone know if the (2) Media Industry Studies role listed here is the same as the one two up? If so, some consolidation might be in order? (11/27)

 * Is there any confirmation of the Skype interviews? It may be bad info?
 * I can confirm that the Skype interviews happened on 11/10.


 * It's incredibly common for schools to avoid sending rejections until the entire process is over. I have actually been on a search committee where two of our top three candidates did not have very good campus interviews and we were considering going back to the larger pool because no one in the phone interview stage stood out. So why reject everyone else until someone is actually hired? On that note--I know someone with a campus interview here. So the Skype info was not bad info.
