Otterbein University in Westerville (Columbus, Ohio suburb) is hiring. Details of the job are unimportant, because you should stay away (at least, so says a good friend of mine). The department is conflict-riddled (same leadership for nearly the last 15 years, and not one other junior scholar had gotten tenure and been retained in that time). The dept is also highly marginalized and in ill-repute w/regard to the rest of campus (including admin), and the whole institution is in the middle of a fiscal crisis that will almost certainly result in an increase of the teaching load (and has already contributed to a serious lack of campus-wide collegiality, and increasing class sizes). STAY AWAY. This is where careers go to die.
