NOTES:
I just looked this posting up in the MLA JIL and it says the deadline is Nov. 15 (not Nov. 8 as stated above). I'm hesitant to change it though in case I have missed something and would be throwing off others' application timelines. Anyone else see what I see? Am I crazy?
Nope, you're not crazy. The JIL deadline is the 15th, but the deadline as posted on the CUNY site is November 8th. It's possible they might have extended it, but in lieu of actually calling the department and checking I'd go with the earlier date just to be sure.
OP here. Thanks for the reassurance -- this can be a nerve-wracking process, and an inconsistency like this just adds to the stress. I was able to send in my application by the earlier date, but I hope someone from Baruch is reading this and realizes that some other candidates who are just looking at the JIL might think they still have time to apply.
Any word?
No word yet.
Sorry to post this here, but there's no general discussion section. Did anyone apply to the childhood studies jobs at Brooklyn College or Rutgers-Camden? Was there any move on either?
- The jobs you are asking about are actually posted on a different wiki page: Human Development & Family Studies 2013-2014
- Thanks for the link!
Any one receive a follow-up e-mail about the interview? I'm still waiting.
- I'm also waiting for an email.
Got the formal rejection. It claimed there were 500 applications. Surely there are not 500 people on the market in our field, right? There is some hope? An American generalist gig got 600+; that makes sense. Just wondering if anyone else was taken aback by that claim.
- I was told (in person) that there were approximately 250-300 applications, for what that's worth.

NOTES:
- I was a bit thrown by the application interface, which asks just for a resume. If you hit "submit," though, it submits -- so make sure you attach both a letter and a CV.
- Has anyone else heard? Do we know if they have finished extending invitations for campus visits?
- Haven't heard a thing. To the poster who reported the campus interview scheduled: do you know how many campus interviews there are and whether all have been arranged?
- (Poster who reported campus interview.) I'm not sure as to how many interviews there are or if there are any remaining to be scheduled. My understanding, though, is that campus visits are occurring between the end of January and the middle of February.
