Word on the street

 * Suspicious: Does anybody know if the U. of Chicago job is for real? They have a postdoc right now who  does pretty much exactly what they are requesting in their job description. What's the word on the street?
 * A: I think you answered your own question. Also interesting that the deadline is so early - the day before the MLA list comes out (when most people start looking). Alas, that is how these things sometimes go, and jobs are so hard to come by that it is hard to begrudge any postdoc the possibility of their position turning into a job, though Chicago certainly could have been a little more discreet in their designs. Also good to keep in mind that things sometimes don't shake out as planned - departmental politics and other factors can intervene, so who knows what will happen.
 * A:  I absolutely agree with you. It is not really about begrudging the postdoc. But targeted searches prevent applicants from getting their hopes up and from going through the whole application process. Very strange indeed!
 * A: I cannot speak for U. of Chicago, but I've been in a U that has had to conduct searches ahead of the regular calendar due to limited personnel available to conduct the search during the fall semester.  Job postings appear in Inside Higher Ed and Chronicle year round, and the MLA should seriously consider doing the same, or else post only searches conducted through their own conference.

General Discussion, Questions, and Inquiries

 * The Portuguese job situation always seems that it can't get any worse... until it does! As of 10/3, only 2 jobs specifically looking for Brazilianists/Portuguese specialists, both at Ivy league schools, and one that's open rank. Ninguém merece. A: I feel you. Colonial went from consistently having 10+ jobs/yr to five two years ago, two last year, and now none this year. The few "Transatlantic Early Modern" offerings just mean that they want someone to teach everything pre-1800 so they don't have to hire anyone else OR they don't know what they want. Great year to be a linguist or U.S. Latinx Studies scholar.
 * So... when an app asks for native fluency... is that an automatic disqualifier for those in "near-native" fluency? Is it even worth my time to apply?
 * A1: I would assume it's just bad wording for near-native; certainly apply.


 * "Miami University will not sponsor for H1B work authorization for the 2017-18 year." WTF?!! A1: Thank the executive order that eliminated the prime that made the H1B processing more expeditious for employers nationwide. They will employ you under J1 though. O.P. They might, but it's very hard to go from J1 to H1B. Personally, I believe it's form of discrimination. Some universities are just using the new H1B processign times as an excuse to not hire "foreign aliens". This basically makes international applicants not eligible at all to apply for jobs here. A2: Not discrimination. But it sucks. Howver, consider the position of the hiring institution. Without the rush processing that was once available, there is really no assurance, based on search schedules (that usually end in February/March), that a visa will be approved in time for the start of the fall semester. Institutions were all reliant on the rush processing. What would you have them do? A3: I work at Miami. They need to fill that position for spring, not for next year. A4. They have started doing this before the processing times were changed. A5 to A4: You mean they as in the U of Miami, or universities in general? If this is happening in general, then prospective international phd students should be made aware of this. A4 to A5: Universities in general. I saw similar posts last year even before the new administration. Also, more and more you see the "Will you now or in the future require visa sponsorship from XYZ university?" in the online application. Search committees are also asking that question these days during the interviews, and in most case you will not hear back from them if the answer is "yes".
 * Wasn't the MLA Job List supposed to be released yesterday (Sept 11)? The jobs that are posted now have been there for a while.
 * List below was just updated with 9/11 MLA JIL jobs ... there were ~half dozen new jobs in the MLA List. Expect more to be added on Fri and through Sept.... If you don't see a position here, please feel free to add it. (9/12)
 * Thanks! I'm just surprised to only see 50 openings this year. So depressing already. LOL?
