Please be careful to check the formatting after you edit the pages. If you add a space before the content, wikia will convert the text to "Teletype" as if it is a "coding example" appearing in a textbook. The format for each university is:

University Name

Leave two blanks lines between institution names.

On the Search
And so the nightmare begins anew. ..

How do you all think this September compares to previous years for Comp/Rhet jobs? For sure, we'll know more when the JIL comes out, but colleagues in other departments have been lamenting the dearth of jobs in their field already. Thoughts?

If all of these jobs hold, I think we'll be doing okay. My concern is that funding will fall through and some of these jobs will be withdrawn. Since that is likely, lets hope it's not too many.


 * Well, I just passed 100 job applications. They say that some jobs are getting over 150 applications.  By the end of the year, I may have hit that many sent out.  Of course, I've been going for everything - rhet/comp, generalist, post-doc, lecturer, visiting - anything full-time.  My bet is that there are quite a few just like me.

See "History" page for date and time last updated.

tis the season: don't forget about the Universities to Fear wiki http://academicjobs.wikia.com/wiki/Universities_to_fear

What's going on with all the boxes? The Wiki is much harder to read now....????
 * Someone edited the site and adding spaces before lines invokes code mode -- the help at the top says never do this! It creates "Teletype" text.
 * Fixed manually (and slowly) once again... at least the fourth time I have cleaned the entire listing. (12/1) Thank you. (x3)

Q & A about the Career Path
See more on Discussion Page

Q: Any thoughts on when it's time to give up hope hearing from a school? If I haven't had request for more materials & others have about a week ago, is the writing on the wall?

A: Depends on the deadline. I would trust the wiki- if they wanted more materials from someone more than 2 weeks ago, you're probably out. If they arranged interviews within the past 5 days and you weren't called, you're probably out. At least that's how I'm doing it. The official rejection letters usually come way late in the process.


 * Response to above Answer: While this usually is the case, it doesn't always happen that way.  Last year, the school who hired me didn't contact me until March, after they had gone through the interview/visit process with other candidates the first time around.  They found that their first picks didn't work out, so they went back to the drawing board and started over in the Spring.  So really, nothing's official one way or the other until you see it in writing (or hear it on the phone).

A non-composition ABD wondering what the teaching load norm is for these tt positions 2-2 or 4-4?
 * Simple answer: YES! More detailed answered: It all depends on whether it's a [edit: public] teaching or research institution. I think it varies with liberal arts colleges/universities. I've seen 3-3 and "small" class sizes advertised. The jobs ads, for the most part, specify the load, though.

Q to SC Lurkers: Are you willing to say what info interests you here?
 * Making sure that our search progress is on the same schedule with other schools so that we don't get behind.

For Rhetoric, be sure to follow Communications Wikia 2010 updates.
 * Many of the Rhet/Comp posts were cross-listed and are interviewing.
 * Also check Indeed: Rhet/Comp Jobs

Question to SC lurkers who've received a large number (100+) of applications: are all those you've received comp/rhet PhDs? Are there really that many of us?
 * Yes, there are that many. Most R1 SCs will receive 90 - 150 applicants per post
 * Unconfirmed: Second tiers are receiving 50+ for most openings
 * Confirmed: At least some community colleges are receiving 50+ because CSU, UC, and other similar state systems have no openings
 * Search at: California Community Colleges
 * In my search: out of 145, 120 or so were RC. Yes, there are that many now and from many different schools. New programs (Bowling Green, Clemson, UTEP, UN Reno etc.) are starting to graduate more students.

Probably not the "correct" thing to ask, but if there are this many people for so few jobs, do we need new programs? Do we need as many graduates as we are producing? What becomes of the hundreds who will not find work this year or next as states cut even deeper? Should we have a "career options" forum? Ouch.
 * Some appointments will likely be defunded, too, so develop a backup plan.
 * Yes! A career options forum would be *fantastic*!
 * Might as well use the Discussion page, since there are no editing issues: Discussion Page

 * Anything else stated in the email? I got the confirmation email on 11/24 but not the follow-up on 12/7. I guess I'll assume i'm out on that one.
 * Same here. I got a confirmation in November that said they'd be notifying about MLA interviews by 12/11. So I wonder if the 12/7 email is the same one I received, or a different one with the same information in it.
 * Don't consider yourself out yet! The email I got was likely the same one you got earlier. It just read as a "your application is complete" type of email, with the additional "notified by 12/11" info. Sorry for any confusion. :)

Queens College, CUNY
 * Where is this advertised?
 * It's on the MLA JIL (ade.org)
 * letter ack of application x 5
 * The Chronicle recently posted what appears to be the same position with a later deadline and an online application. Strange!
 * Don't read too much into the Chronicle changes. I'm in the CUNY System (not at QC) and this strangeness is an artifact of the university's move to an online app system. Can't speak to the deadline/salary range issue with real knowledge, but from what I know of the system and its integration with legal and HR it is likely that the online app details are the accurate ones.
 * Either they didn't like the applications they received the first time around, or they're doing a last minute post to increase the applicant field for a position that has a pay range that isn't that spectacular for the new york metro area. (As a fellow CUNY employee, I would bet that the salary range listed reflects what an assistant professor might make within CUNY at both four-year colleges and community colleges. It would be surprising if the salary wasn't competitive with other similar positions).
 * I just received a letter that states "We wish to acknowledge the receipt of your applications for the position of Assistant Professor, Rhetoric and Composition in the English Department. If you have not already done so, please send us your dossier at your earliest convenience."  That's it.  Just those two sentences.  Did anyone else get this letter?  I'm not sure if this is just a standard ack of app or if it is a formal dossier request.
 * I received the same letter. As their most recent job posting asks for a dossier (which wasn't in the original MLA posting) I figure it's their form letter of acknowledgment.


 * The original posting in JIL also asked for dossier. I copied it.
 * I also received this letter. x4

 * Contacting my references, 11/02--QUESTION: Folks, What does it mean if they're contacting my references whose letters they already have? What is the next step after the phone interview and reference contacting usually? Many thanks.
 * If you're ABD, most likely they want to verify with your references that you will finish your degree in the expected time. However, even if you're not ABD, it's still standard practice to actually contact references by phone--even if they already have your letters. Some committees contact references before inviting candidates to campus. Others contact them afterward. Regardless, sounds like you'll be invited to campus.
