North Carolina State University - Assistant Professor in Arabic. Deadline: 30 Nov

(12/4) Invited for Skype interview
(2/7) After two denials from HR, search committee chair finally admitted that I was not chosen for interview. Total fiasco.
^Wait, they refused to tell you whether or not you were chosen for an interview? Do you think it was lack of communication between HR and the SC, or just not a very professional search? Might be a blessing in disguise...
HR twice told me not to worry, my candidacy was still active, the dept will contact you, don't contact them. I did contact them and the SC chair said they were now intervieweing finalists and I'm not among them (duh); accompanied with what seemed to be a sincere apology for "the unwieldiness of the system." So I think, yes, lack of communication probably.

University of Texas at Austin - Open Rank TT Position in Arabic Studies. Deadline: 29 Oct

Virginia Tech - Assistant Professor of Arabic. Deadline: 26 Oct

[12 Nov] Invitation to interview.
[8 Feb] Any news about this? I see someone was invited to interview in Nov; my application status is still "under review by department." I sent a query to HR, who in turn referred me to the SC chair. Awaiting their reply.
[8 Feb, me again] Chair says: "Our job postings remain open until a position is filled. Once that has happened, applicants are notified by email." Sounds like legalese for "we have someone, but we can't tell you yet until they accept our offer."
[30 Apr] And... rejection email arrives.
