NOTES:


 * This is the same job that was posted at the end of July 2013 and still has not been filled. The search committee is aware that the timing of the request for applications and the start date are out of line with the normal MLA hiring cycle. There's nothing sketchy about it; the timing is off because it's a last minute replacement hire and the university wants to fill the position as soon as possible. Please don't let the timing discourage you from applying. [posted Aug. 23, 2013]
