Linguistics

Okay, while waiting for responses from job applications, I thought I would go ahead and try to get the linguistics wiki up and running again. Hopefully, others of you out there on the market will be able to help out. Hopefully this will help us find out how far along the various universities are in their searches!

(see also: http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/AppliedLinguistics for other possible job updates)

TEMPLATE: please keep in alphabetical order. In order to add something: click on the edit tab up above, and you'll see the wiki change and contain some basic html code. Copy the Template below, and then paste it in the list where you'd like your entry to be located. Simply add in the information between the : and the break code that ends the line of text. If you'd like to update an entry, click on edit next to the entry, and then type away!

A request: Could posters please use more specific time phrasing as "the week of March 14" or "January" instead of "this week" or "last month"? This way, the information can stay informative.

Q: Why do they think this?

A: There is a visiting assistant professor who currently has the position, and quite a few people suspect that they wanted to keep him. Campus interviews were done in January. The VAP in question mentions on his faculty blurb that his PhD is from one of the "nation's leading departments for linguistic research". That is sort of interesting. When i was there for an interview i was told that he was not being interviewed.

==University of Georgia == Deadline: 7 January 2008

Field(s): Syntax

Notes:

Q: Has anyone heard anything about this position? In the ad, they said that they would have telephone interviews in mid-January, which is quickly coming to a close...

A: I heard that there weren't a lot of applicants for this job. If they are dragging their feet it may be because they haven't gotten what they want yet.

I hope it's just that it's taking longer than they expected. I actually thought they were being very optimistic about having phone interviews in mid-January when the deadline was only 7 January. We'll see, I guess.

3 people are coming to campus in the next few weeks.

Q: No telephone interviews? Strange.
