2006 Job Market ? Who was hired?
In last year's job market I counted 45+ tenure track position. Some were filled. Some were not and will be re-posted this year. If you have information on who was hired where than post it right here...
Frequently Asked Questions
Why?
I created this blog for those of us (Mid East History PhD’s and ABD’s) who are on the academic job market, in an attempt to formalize the informal rumor mill through which most job market and postdoc applicants find out whether they've been accepted or rejected. I was inspired by another blog named (IR Rumor mill) http://irrumormill.blogspot.com/ and have shamelessly copied some of their organization formatting.Obviously it is up to you to contribute to this site with information about jobs and to spread the word to other friends and acquaintances who are in the job market (in 2007/2008). I will do my best to post the different positions as they open up (my main sources are MESA, the AHA, h-net, the chronicler and higher-ed) As most of you know, the academic job market is highly imperfect and information is extremely scarce (especially for us).With your help this site can help answer some of these questions:
-Who was invited to what job interview?
-Who was offered a job?Did they accept or decline?
-Which positions are closed or postponed?
-What position(s) have an inside candidate? -Etc.
(Simply Add your comments to the jobs listed in this blog)
What's the purpose of this?
To formalize the informal rumor mill through which most job market applicants find out whether they've been accepted or rejected. This has been done in other fields, including Internation Relations. See Chronicle of Higher Education.
What will you be posting?
Job listings that specify Middle East History as one of the target fields will be posted here.
If you have a job listing that we don't have, please email us or leave a comment on that post. Once shortlists are generated (and we are informed about them), those will also be posted as individual entries. So please contribute!
How can I contribute?
-If you have a rumor regarding job or fellowship offers that have been made already, post a comment to the appropriate Job entry.
-If you have information about a job that we don't have on a list, post it to the the appropriate List entry.
-If you have more specific information on a job already posted (what a particular department is looking for, the makeup of the search committee, etc.), post a comment to that specific entry.
-What are the comment posting rules? How can I be anonymous?
Please keep your comments short and informative. The idea is to post information, not opinions.
Anonymous comments are the default! However, some participants have chosen to use persistent pseudonyms instead of submitting anonymous comments so that the community can get a better sense of the veracity of the rumors. Just select "Other" when you leave your comment and type in your pseudonym. Even better, create an account on blogger.com (owned by Google, so you may want to grab the namespace in any case!) and your pseudonym will be password-protected.
Who are you guys, anyway?
Members of the discipline who have decided that the existing job market does an extremely poor job of letting candidates know where they are in the process.
Can I join you?
