11/26, Although, I wonder, do they want everything else in that file, like letters my advisors wrote for me to be a TA, forms showing I've passed into candidacy, etc?

11/28 Does anyone know what happened to this search? Any on-campus interviews? Any offers?

11/19 - email message for availability between now and Dec 6 (no actual mention of on-campus in the message, but I presume that to be the point)
12/27 - has anyone gotten an offer yet?
12/27 - I've had no word since an on-campus right after Thanksgiving (although my reimbursement check arrived right before xmas)
12/28 - Strange, me neither. It's almost been a month since my on-campus.
1/7 - heard at the AHA that the offer was made but not yet accepted
1/7 - Thanks! I hadn't heard that. I did notice, of course, that they were there accepting cvs
1/8- I just emailed the SC chair, and she said that they weren't at the AHA, their name was just never taken out of the bulletin. Also, apparently the process was delayed b/c one of the deans was ill, and so it sounded as if no offer has been made.
1/25 - heard thru the grapevine first offer rejected; second offer on the table now (not me, either time)
1/30 - Phone call to schedule on-campus visit
2/4 - What is the deal with this school?

Lasell College

2/6 rec'd phone call to set up phone interview. (I declined) They are interviewing 6 via phone and then 2 on campus.

Lebanon Valley College
(Deadline: 11/5/2007, job description)
11/29 - email message to schedule AHA interview
12/2 - That's weird, I never even got a letter stating they'd gotten my app. did you?
12/3 - Nope, no acknowledgment of ap. just email about the AHA
12/3 - Nevermind, got the call today. Crazy how nothing in this process is standardized!
1/30 - three candidates to campus in early january
2/8 - I got a call from them a couple of days ago. Seems like they are thinking of bringing more people to campus.
2/10 - That would not surprise me in the least. No offense whatsoever to those of you whom they initially interviewed this time around, whomever you may be - I'm sure you are all more than qualified for this position! - but they seem pretty disorganized overall to me. From what I recall reading on the 06-07 page, looks like they did this last year as well (when they did the exact same search), and in the long run they ended up giving up and doing the search again this year. Don't know what on earth they're looking for, that they can't make up their minds and hire someone already (or then again, maybe that's part of the problem - they can't make up their minds?)
2/14 - I am not sure of the source of the uninformed vitriol above, but I found the committee and department to be very professional, particularly the department head. They did offer the job to candidates both last year and this year (I recently turned down their offer). The school is a hard sell - heavy teaching load, rural location, unsophisticated student body, etc. None of that has anything to do with the committee or department.
2/14 - Rec'd email asking I what my status was, they're going to invite more candidates to campus at end of month.
2/14 - Ditto
2/14 - Me also
3/12 - Email saying position filled. (it was my first communication with them)

12/20 - email message to schedule AHA interview

Something fishy here.
Offer made to a 20th Century Mexicanist (even though the posting was for a Colonialist).
- I don't remember this as a colonial position; and in my AHA interview, they clearly wanted modern - to work w/the Yucatan program
- I am not sure about there being something fishy here, but in my interview, the SC identified they desired a colonial or a modernist who works on the Yucatan. The offer was made to someone, however, who does neither.
- I agree, nothing fishy. In my visit there was no indication of preference for a colonialist or someone who studies Yucatan...I do neither and they brought me to campus.

(Deadline: 11/15/2007, job description)
- Hi All - In order to reduce the stress on candidates, members of the committee will post updates to the search on this page.
11/5 Received acknowledgment letter
11/25 Email asked to set up a video teleconference interview
12/10 Email for AHA interview (I had a video interview with them already. Any idea why they're doing both? Have they narrowed candidates down? Or did everyone doing a video interview also get asked to the AHA?)
  • Hi All - Department representative to the Wiki here: The selection for the video/phone interview does not reflect any sort of ranking within the AHA pool. Rather, it was driven by department members who will not be in DC. Nobody has been eliminated from consideration, and no finalists have been invited to campus. (We were also trying out video interviews to see whether in future years we could forgo the AHA.)
  • 1/7 The department will meet on Tuesday, January 8th to select finalists to bring to campus. Once we narrow the list, we have to submit the requisite paperwork to the Administration and await approval. It may be a few days. We know this is an awful process - Hang in there!
  • 1/10 We thought the Provost would give us the green light today, but a tornado warning just closed campus. Friday, perhaps?
  • 1/11 - Candidates have been invited to campus.

6/19 Thanks for posting. I received a very generous reimbursement check for travel expenses today, which confirmed my impression that they were a professional bunch. I am thankful for the interview, though I wish I had not been so tired and so far removed from my coursework in LA history, and I enjoyed my brief time at Kilburnie, but I remain confused that I have not been informed of the committee's decision.
