Should I contact the university? I will be in the area? I am wondering if It is appropriate to contact the university and let them know that I will be in the area if by chance I am under consideration.  We are moving back to our home state and my husband will be taking a tuck load there.  I can join him or not.  They stated that they would begin looking at applications on June 16th.  Thanks.
I take, you have applied to a position at said university? I would not propose that you contact them. They are making a decision on the applications, not bechause you are in the vicinity. It could sound a bit to clingy for them and result in a rejection.
