NOTES:


 * As a member of the department, I can report that we received nearly 400 applications, many of which were superb--far more than we are able to interview. I know that raw numbers remove only a tiny amount of the sting, if any at all, of not progressing further in a search, but it still seemed worth sharing. Good luck to all, and to those we are interviewing, we're really excited to learn more about you and your work in Philadelphia!


 * So did you waste time of 400 applicants by giving them false hope? We know you advertised a similar post last year for VAP and you have hired somebody for this same position last year. So surely the internal candidate will get it, right? Moreover nobody not from ivy league has a chance, so you should not have had difficulty throwing away applications. Stop telling us "you understand." You dont.
 * What was the job they posted last year?
 * I should have written year before last. Check Anglophone 2015. Identical job for VAP.
 * A little late to say this, but the person who had the VAP last year obtained a TT job elsewhere and did not apply for this job. (There are plenty of good reasons to be cynical about the academic job market, but this search isn't one of them. I know only positive things about this department.)
 * When was the last time MIT English made significant contribution to literary studies?  I think what the previous poster is trying to say is that never mind how great research is of grad students from non-ivy league schools places like MIT will not consider them.

A commitment to excellence in scholarship and teaching as well as a demonstrated commitment to engaging with a diverse student body in research, teaching and service are required. Competitive applicants will be capable of outstanding research and teaching at the graduate and undergraduate levels.

The department plays a key role in a robust major in Cinema Studies, and in two new interdisciplinary graduate certificates; New Media and Culture, and Politics, Identity and Culture. We particularly welcome applications from scholars who are from populations historically underrepresented in the academy, and/or who have experience working with students from diverse backgrounds, especially those with a demonstrated commitment to engaging with African American students in research, teaching and service.

In order to enhance the prospects for rich intellectual collaboration on the literatures, media, and cultures of Africa and the African diaspora at the University of Oregon, the English department is participating in a cluster hire in African American studies that includes African American History (Department of History), Black Feminist Theory (Department of Women’s and Gender Studies), and Literatures and Media of Africa and the African Diaspora (Department of English). These three open-rank searches for tenure-track faculty will bring at least three scholars to a campus expanding its existing expertise in African American Studies in the contexts of Africa and the African diaspora in twenty-five departments and across six schools and colleges. We seek to create a cohort of scholars with complementary strengths and shared interests who will help us work toward establishing a comprehensive curriculum in Black Studies in the College of Arts and Sciences, and whose scholarship and teaching will enhance the study of race and ethnicity at UO and beyond.

Minimum Requirements: Ph.D. in English or related field in hand by time of appointment.
