James spent Wednesday through Sunday in San Antonio, Texas at the Joint Mathematics Meeting. A major reason for his going to this conference was to network for professor jobs. He was wildly successful in that endeavor. He had a bunch of quick (15-minute) interviews and it seems like he'll probably get at least three "real" interviews (a.k.a they'll have him come to campus), possibly more.
One school (which shall remain nameless, but is outside of Virginia) is currently drooling over James. While we've had our hearts set on coming back to Virginia, this school is very enticing. High salary, fantastic benefit package, low cost of living, etc. At the very least, a job offer from them would provide James with good leverage elsewhere.
We'll keep you posted!
