Baylor University (TX) Deadline: November 1 Application mailed Sept. 24; Ack. Letter Oct. 2 Request for dossier/writing sample/personal data sheet Nov. 16 (3) FYI: This job has been advertised for the past 3 years, without hiring a faculty member. It's unclear whether the position has not been filled for lack of funding or for other reasons. According to last year's wiki, the offer was rejected (no reason specified). I can say with great confidence that this is a solid, line and that we hope to hire a very strong medieval candidate this year. Two years ago, our hire withdrew at the very last moment (shortly before she was due to start the semester). Last year, our favorite also withdrew in February! Two different stories having to do with personal circumstances. The funding is there, folks.
