   My department (LAC) has tried to hire ME on and off for years. Without exception, the candidates flat-out suck. Has this been anyone else's experience? It can't be that all good ME candidates get great R1 jobs, leaving nothing but awful ME candidates, right?

   In our program one ME person was the best placement in nearly two decades. Another was the biggest disaster in nearly two decades. So, for us anyway, ME has been feast or famine.

   Yes, you already wrote this, but changed minor portions from the original text without attribution. Reported for plagiarism.

   I believe one of the problems with doing research in MENA is the difficulty of collecting cool data & conducting innovative experiments due to obvious governmental constraints.

   I mean, I guess. But in my experience, every candidate is a charlatan: has opinions with no evidence, or tells everyone what she thinks they want to hear. Melt down when faced with people who know the literature. That a bad, old, area studies nonsense look.

   Maybe my school isn't that good, but we've never had candidates for in other areas of expertise do this even once.

   I didn’t see the post and thought the mods deleted for some reason, so I tried again with different wording. Oops, yeah, same program and same two people.

   Some of the ones who do TV commentary seem pretty good. Although they always belabor the whole "this is really complex and you have to know the history" thing but that's comparativists. And probably true.

   I think research suddenly became more difficult.
