  • Screening of applications will begin October 1, 2012, and continue until finalists are identified.
    • Is this the same search that was posted last year, for North American Enviro and Public History? Did that search fail? Or are they looking for another enviro historian?
    • This is the same search. The search fell apart last year in the face of economic and institutional difficulties.

    • Anyone hear anything? A friend in another field for which PSU is running a search already got a phone call, and he also had a 10/1 deadline.

    • Phone interview scheduled (10/30). x2
      • Mind mentioning which sub-sub-fields of enviro history you work on?
      • If last year's offer is any indication PSU is not looking for an enviro historian but a gender historian
      • Really? Seems a stretch. Still would like to know the interviewees sub-fields...
        • Hell hath no fury like a job applicant spurned, but I, too, wonder what specifically the SC is looking for. x2
    • Anyone hear anything since the interviews?
    • Campus visit scheduled (11/19) x3
    • Rejection received (11/28). I'm bummed, of course, but it is really nice that they sent out rejections in a timely manner. Also, and I quote, "We received over 150 applications for this position, and we have now selected the finalists that we will bring to campus for an interview."
    • Finalist accepted position
      • Name?
      • I can't wait to find out who will be at PSU!  Anyone willing to say or see an announcement?  The position is poorly paid but being at PSU and in Portland are the subsidy.
