My Job Hunt

I'm in the middle of another job hunt in the hopes of finding a more permenant, tenure-track position. I'm searching widely and in both Late Medieval and Early Modern fields. Here's a map of all the positions that I've applied for.

Key:
Blue-Medieval

Teal-Renaissance

Yellow-Schools that have asked for more info from me (means I've made the first cut)

Rain clouds-Schools that have canceled their searches because, let's face it, no one has any money these days.




As you can see, only 2 jobs in all of Ohio, so we may not be coming home any time soon. There are more than a few in sunny southern California, but I'm so terrified of living out there, I really don't know what to do with myself. I should start hearing from more schools in a few weeks, and 1st interviews will be set up between Thanksgiving and Christmas for MLA (in San Francisco). After that, I have to travel to the schools for 2nd interviews. Yay, for hours in airports hoping to make my connecting flights!

I'll update the map when I hear more.
