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)

Anyone heard anything from these folks? It's been two months! (1/26) Nope. Not even a acknowledgment of receipt. (1/26) I also have received nothing at all. Maybe they cancelled the search? (1/26). I broke down and called the department - the search is still definitely on - expect to hear something soon. They indicated they were going to interview at CAA in the job listing. (1/26) I received acknowledgment of the receipt of my application dated 1/27 (2/2). Received letter of acknowledgment today (2/2); says that preliminary interviews will be held at CAA as well as in Providence. Also states that on-campus visits for finalists will be scheduled for March and April. (2/2) How many of you have received the letter of acknowledgement? And, does this letter indicate you are a finalist for an interview? I've not received any letter (2/2). Brand new poster here. I've also received the letter of acknowledgment - it is a letter of acknowledgment only, NOT an indication of finalist status (2/2). Ditto (2/3/09)
