--world lit? It would be mighty useful if they added "Not British or American" or some such description. I'm tempted to apply even though I do British pretty exclusively. Any thoughts?

Well, I feel obliged to point out that 'world lit' is its own (contested) field these days. If you're not familiar with it, perhaps this position isn't quite the right fit. With that said, though, I'm generally of the 'more the merrier' mindset when it comes to applications, so it's your call.

This job has been deleted from HigheredJobs and the Chronicle - is it an inside job? 10/17

I inquired about the position, and the chair was very, very, very slow in responding. I think it's an inside hire as well.

NOTES:
 * Also posted at British Open 2014
 * Has anyone else applied through the online application yet? It didn't seem possible to submit letters of recommendation that way, since the only option was to uplod documents from your own hard drive. I'm guessing I should just have Interfolio send them to the listed contact person (Pam Johnson)?
 * Just applied, there was a button that said "references" and I added my contacts with their Interfolio email addresses, but they do ask for letters, but there was nowhere else to upload them.  I will contact as well.
 * Oh, I should have updated (I'm the poster 2 above). I contacted Pam Johnson, who said she was happy to receive letters from Interfolio.
