===<span style="font-weight: bold;">University of Oklahoma</span>===
University of Oklahoma, Department of Anthropology seeks a linguistic anthropologist for a permanent, tenure track appointment at the Assistant Professor level, beginning August 16, 2012. The successful applicant will be expected to work closely with our Native American language program in addition to teaching a broad range of linguistic anthropology classes. Applicants should be committed to a four-field anthropology program.

This posting was up a long time ago on the AAA career center. It's since been long gone, but the university web page still has it (https://jobs.ou.edu/applicants/jsp/shared/position/JobDetails_css.jsp?postingId=250631). I'm putting it up now (3/20) because I was curious. I know someone who applied to it, but hasn't heard anything at all. Why wasn't it even on here? Has it been cancelled? I know their archaeologist hiring has been moving forward, so what gives?

Q: What materials were requested on 10/3? Letters? Writing samples? Syllabi? A: Letters

: Q: Wait, so they asked the applicant to have recommenders send letters directly instead of using the requested contact info to get in touch with recommenders themselves? (I did not get this request) A: Yes, but from what I've seen in other searches the last few years this is not unusual.

: Rejected out of hand for submitting materials after "review begins" date (so they meant Oct. 1 was the closing date - frustrating!)
