Last Updated: 12/4 7:50 AM CST

Edgewood C (Generalist: especially interested in Americanist 19th C, also Comp/Rhet) 11/15


 * Ack. of app. 11/19

Is this the same position listed under early/19th C. American? A: yes, they listed several desirable fields.

Florida State University (Open rank, Book History, British 1300-1900, Continental 1100-1800, three positions)

Deadline: October 10

I got an e-mail from the chair almost immediately after I submitted my ap, requesting that I have my referees send recs. instantaneously since the committee was meeting the 13th to make decisions about campus visits for november. Than I never heard anything else. Anyone?

I sent my application for this off by email on October 6, and I never got a reply of any sort. Since then, I've double checked the address, and yes...I did send it to the right place. I've heard a rumour that they may be looking for senior scholars only, despite what the job ad may have indicated.

11/4: campus visits apparently already happened. But it may not matter because, according to a local news affiliate, FSU put on a hiring freeze: http://www.wctv.tv/news/headlines/33617379.html

11/10: I applied for their post-1900 Brit lit position and had a letter back last week saying they'd received my application. The search committee chair had changed, but said nothing about a hiring freeze on the position.
