 * Phone Interview Scheduled: Jan. 31. Phone interview conducted 2/5. 3 people will be invited for campus visits. 2/13 Anyone hear anything from them yet?  Nope; it's only been a week since my interview. Give 'em time (2/13).  Yes, I'm being impatient, but their schedule (pre-CAA job offer) implies that campus visits should have been arranged quickly.  Maybe they're not keeping to the schedule, or maybe they've contacted others.  Bummer?  (2/17) (different poster-- I thought their pre-CAA offer timeline sounded pretty fantastical. I'd be VERY surprised if they had achieved that).  Bummer Poster - I'm already taking comfort in what you suggest, Different Poster.  Thanks - and good luck!

I interviewed for this job last year at CAA when it was posted as an adjunct only. I asked at the time if the job could be upgraded to tenure track. They said yes. They have since hired an adjunct before listing it this year as a tenure track position. To anyone applying please be advised that you may be up against an inside track candidate who's already worked there this year as an adjunct.

Feb 3rd - Fair warning, though a risk worth taking! FWIW, I interviewed for the temp position last year, too, and found the folks at App State congenial and professional.

True they appear so. It is just that their administration is terrible. Feb 10-They are searching for a Chair this year again? Anybody knows about this?

2/17 : Don't know about their admin/chair situation, but I am wondering about the search. What's that "Jan. 16 (phone)" about? I didn't interview with them until February. Anybody hear anything new?

Renaissance/Baroque Art
Anyone heard any news? CAA's coming right up and half these places haven't even bothered to acknowledge receipt of my application!

Expect a wait -- relying on the experiences of others, it seems most interviews are scheduled the two weeks leading up to CAA, several more during the conference itself. No news now is not necessarily bad news. (1/21/09)

I hope you're right -- but last year I heard from almost everyone in December or January. I just wonder how many of these are being suspended...

And others are taking care of things ahead of the conference (see McGill, Miami U. of Ohio, and Tulane)... (1/23/09)

And, I heard that the Columbia and Princeton jobs aren't real searches but are talking with pre-selected candidates (1/23/09)

I guess that's their prerogative but it would be nice to get some news, either way... (1/23/09)

Still have not heard either way from most places I applied to either (1/23/09)

Last year I received a call for a CAA interview the day before I left for the conference! And the Princeton/Columbia jobs are open rank searches for tenured profs, I believe. Princeton wants a full professor. (1/24/09)
