Faculty Appointments Chairs
I'm starting to get calls for advice about the meat market in the fall. One of the traditional components of the onslaught from entry-level candidates is the targeting of Faculty Appointments Committees at schools of particular interest. I'm not fully clear on how useful this information really is (most letters addressed to "Appointments Chair" will get where they are supposed to go), but it certainly helps your advisors make calls to important people at the relevant school.
In PB's long tradition of helping entry-level types on the market, I'm opening a thread for people to announce committee members and chairs. At Hastings, Leo Martinez is the chair this year. Let the information flow freely.
UPDATE: If your school is searching for any particular areas of expertise, you might note it here too. Hey, it's free advertising.
