What's going on!!??
Anyone have experience with this school?
1. Phone interview in April
2. Visited Campus in May
3. Contacted dean twice and told search is still open - told it would be completed "next week".
Has anyone else heard from this school or know what's going on? Why is their search/decision taking so long?
Thanks in advance

Everything is ambiguous until administration has approved a budget ... it's annoying as hell and takes forever. Hang in there. They'll contact you either way.

I hope it is something as simple as a budget approval. I'm getting the feeling that the committee isn't working well together or HR, business office, etc. are moving VERY slow. It has been over three months since they initially contacted me - that seems long enough.
1. One month between phone interview and campus visit
2. Almost 3 weeks since campus visit and still no word.
At the very least I would hope the committee would communicate what is slowing them down - that would be better than just leaving us hanging. Finally, it seems to me that a search taking this long does not allow the university/department to attract the best people. Candidates are likely to get frustrated and annoyed, like me, and possibly take other positions.
Sorry - venting a little. But if any one has heard anything - pass it on!
Thanks

I once had an interview in November and heard nothing until the next June ... it was a job offer I ultimately declined largely because I'd made other commitments in the meantime. Committees want things done fast also. Admin is slow.
But vent away, please. Just letting you know that slowness is more pervasive than it should be.

Just noticed this posting has been taken down off their HR site. Good news for somebody? I believe that they made an offer to a friend of mine. Perhaps they are still negotiating. |
