[AskingForAFriend]

If a person is stellar educator, with more than one prestigious teaching award, but has not published in the last two years, would they have a shot at this position? 

[Max]

There is still a shot. Above the ad states "The successful candidate will be committed to excellence in teaching, scholarship, and service in an institution dedicated primarily to undergraduate education." And from the link in the ad you can see that "preferred qualifications" are:

• Teaching experience as a sole instructor and excellent student and/or peer evaluations
• Existing publications

Thanks for the refocus Max. My self-esteem is in the toilet after the most recent round of rejections and the last three jobs I applied for I felt unqualified and non-competitive. Academia eats its young.

Bump. Any updates on this position?
