James has been to two interviews so far, and feels that both visits went very well. Both schools said that they'd let him know by the end of this week whether or not he'll get a job offer. Look for a post on Friday or Saturday, updating you on the latest news! Both positions are for a tenure-track faculty member, so we're hoping that no matter where he winds up, we'll stay there for a while.
The bad news is...neither school is in Virginia. School #1 is Youngstown State University, located in Youngstown, Ohio. School #2 is North Carolina Central University, located in Durham, North Carolina. Both are good schools with good math/computer science departments. James applied to 10-12 colleges/universities, with the bulk of his applications going to Virginia schools. However, Virginia schools (including his alma mater) are either oblivious to James' brilliance or they're taking their sweet time interviewing potential faculty. Oh well, their loss.
