History of Medicine or Health
- application deadline is 15 Oct 2008
- Anyone heard anythig e.g. req. additional materials, interview etc.?
- absolutely nothing yet - no acknowledgment, etc. (x7)
- I've heard through the grapevine that two candidates have been invited to campus. (x4)
- So is this search closed now?
- Has anyone ever received anything -- acknowledgment, rejection -- from this search committee?
- I made an email inquiry, and was told that they had identified top candidates, but until they complete the search, they want to keep other applicants in the pool, in case they should need to arrange more interviews. The chair also noted that, as soon as they make an appointment, they will write all of the applicants. This is the only communication I have had with the committee. 1/22
- When did you make this email inquiry?
- 1/08/09
- I've heard that the campus interviews took place on 1/6 and 1/7. So why haven't the rest of us received our rejections yet? Shouldn't this thing be over by now? Or have they interviewed more candidates afterwards?
- Offer has been made, and accepted.
- * Out of interest, has anyone had a formal rejection from this committee, as the comment above suggests we should expect?
- I haven't received a formal rejection letter yet (2/11). Perhaps one day Princeton will be kind enough to grace us with a word, so that we know they have at least received our dossiers -- and perhaps even read them?
- (2/16) Received the rejection letter today (dated Feb 13) informing me that an offer was extended and accepted "last week." Thanks, Princeton, it is good to know that my application sent months and months ago was actually received. This is the first peep of an intimation that you even knew I existed.
- application deadline is 15 Oct 2008
- received a letter of acknowledgement 10/29/08
- received an email request for further writing samples 11/19/08 (x2)
- email rejection 12/10 (x4)
- Has anyone got a rejection or a further invite after the request for writing samples? 12/11
- email invite for on-campus visit 12/12
- Is this search closed now?
- Not yet, as far as I know. I was told by the committee that on-campus visits take palce in both January and February. 1/22
- Does anyone know what's up with the Post-Doc that just got advertised with almost identical fields?
- I emailed a specific query about the status of the jobsearch and the postdoc on 2/12.
- Did you get a response? - Today [2/18]; there are some candidates still in a pool (with neither rejection nor interview invite), so presumably we will hear a definite no or an invite when the current stage of the job search is over (in ~10 days). The post-doc seems to be running separately to the tt job and applications shouldn't interfere with each other.
- Thanks for the info! 2/18
- 3/02: rejection email (x2)
- application deadline is 14 November 200
- ack. email on 11/17
- AHA interview e-mail 11/24
- email rejection 12/9 (x2)
- On-campus invite via email, 1/14 (x2)
- Had an AHA interview and was told that the search might be postponed until next semester/year because of budgetary crisis. They promised to let candidates know of the status of the search by the end of January.
- Any news??
- Received an email that the administration asked them to make a hire for a senior position first, then bring candidates for junior positions to campus should they be allowed to do so. The junior positions are not authorized yet (they are contingent upon the next year's financial picture), so they cannot tell the timetable for them at this point. 1/30
- 3/2 I was told that they had hired a senior historian of medicine, and got authorized to hire a junior person as a one-year VAP in the gender/sexuality studies. They are opening a TT search next year, and the VAP can apply for that position again (apparently, from scratch).

- Hi all, Search Committee Member here. We will use this site to keep applicants informed of the progress of the search, particularly as deadlines approach and anxiety levels rise. Right now our plan is to conduct video or phone interviews prior the AHA. We do this so that the entire department can get to know those who make the first cut. A smaller group of faculty will travel to New York and meet again with candidates. I can't say I'll check this page on a daily basis, but if you have any questions, please feel free to post them and I'll answer those that I can.
- Search canceled (email 12/3)
