Request for additional materials: Writing samples requested [11/15] Did you receive an email? I just logged into Interfolio and it says my application needs a writing sample added, but I did not receive notification from Brandeis (11/15) x 3

Writing sample requested via e-mail [11/15]

Note: I'm not sure to what degree this is an actual request from Brandeis for writing samples; however, my application now says it's incomplete because of missing writing samples. However, no option exists to submit these writing samples on my end.

I emailed the search chair and then just received a response, via Interfolio, that my application was not selected for further review. However, my account still says application incomplete. It seems that it's showing up as incomplete for everyone, but if you can actually upload the samples then you were selected.

I was able to upload the documents but also received the rejection email just now. Maybe someone can confirm the receipt of a request for additional materials email in addition to the interfolio incomplete app. Interfolio seems a bit confusing to me. 11/15: if this helps clarify anything, I received an email sent through Interfolio saying that I was "not currently on [their] longer short list" but they were keeping my application open. I guess in case they end up needing more people than the ones they're moving ahead with for now. Good luck, everyone! -I think Interfolio is having a problem with this -- Something similar happened to me for another job (suddenly application was incomplete) but then I recieved a rejection two weeks later. This time around, saw the application was now incomplete, but recieved a request for writing sample via email shortly after. Good luck everyone -- this is brutal. (x2)

-- I believe the same thing happened with the Fordham app on Interfolio. When additional materials are requested through Interfolio, it seems to change every applicant's "delivery" so that they can upload materials, but both Fordham and Brandeis have sent emails to specific candidates asking explicitly for additional materials. They probably didn't even know themselves that Interfolio would work like that. [11/15]

Dear applicants,

We apologize for this snafu. We, in fact, did not know Interfolio would do this. You should be getting one of 3 individual emails:

1. You have made it to our longer short list and we have asked for a writing sample (either 1 long piece of up to 50 pgs. or 2 shorter pieces);

2. You have not made it to the longer short list, but we would like to keep your application open;

3. You have not made it to our longer short list and we thank you for applying.

We will try to sort this out with more clarity as soon as possible.

There were incredible applications, a lot of wonderful material, and we appreciate the work people did to turn in their materials.

Sincerely,

A Brandeis Search Committee member

^thank you to the SC member who wrote this. we appreciate you taking the time to clarify things for us!

City University of New York, Graduate Center (USA:NY) - TT Associate or Full Professor - African American Studies or Black Studies
Job ID: 20437 Compensation: Competitive Closing Date: Open until filled with review of applications to begin on July 15, 2019

Performs teaching, research and guidance duties in area(s) of expertise. Shares responsibility for committee and department assignments including administrative, supervisory, and other functions.

The Graduate Center is the focal point for advanced teaching and research at The City University of New York (CUNY), the nation's largest urban public university. With over 35 doctoral and master’s programs of the highest caliber, the Graduate Center fosters pioneering research and scholarship in the arts and sciences and prepares students for careers in universities and the private, nonprofit, and government sectors. The Graduate Center’s commitment to research and scholarship for the public good is exemplified by its more than 30 centers, institutes, and initiatives, including its Advanced Science Research Center (ASRC), a 200,000-square-foot facility in upper Manhattan designed to promote collaboration among scientists in global research and innovation.

The Graduate Center (GC) benefits from highly ambitious and diverse students and alumni who in turn teach hundreds of thousands of undergraduates every year. Through its public programs, the Graduate Center enhances New York City’s intellectual and cultural life.

The Ph.D. Program in English at the Graduate Center seeks an advanced Associate or full Professor in African American Studies or Black Studies, whose research and work cover any period of literary and cultural study. Areas of interest include African diaspora and Caribbean studies, the Black Radical Tradition, Black Feminisms, Black Queer Studies, gender and sexuality, and intersectional analysis of colonial histories and imperial formations. This is a tenured position that reports to the Executive Officer of the Ph.D. Program in English.

The Ph.D. Program in English is a major center for intellectual exchange and graduate training in the heart of New York City. As with other Ph.D. programs housed in the Graduate Center, the English department features a small cohort of “central-line” faculty who teach full time in the program and a much larger group of “consortial” faculty who teach and advise students at the Graduate Center in addition to their primary appointments at other colleges within the CUNY system. This arrangement provides our students with access to unparalleled breadth and depth in field coverage and approaches to scholarship, and enables the department to select the most accomplished researchers from the literary and cultural scholars who teach at eleven senior colleges and seven community colleges within CUNY.

University of California, Santa Cruz (US:Ca) - Assistant Professor of Global Health - Social Justice
The Division of Social Sciences at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) invites applications for a Global and Community Health scholar with expertise in the social justice questions raised by societal and environmental influences on health. The position is open to any field in the Social Sciences at the tenure-track Assistant Professor level.

The selected candidate will be invited to join one of the following departments: Anthropology, Community Studies, Economics, Education, Environmental Studies, Latin American & Latino Studies, Politics, Psychology, Sociology, and also contribute to new program development and teaching in Global Community Health (GCH).

The selected candidate will be an outstanding researcher on global and community health with a focus on social justice issues such as socio-economic inequalities, structural violence, war, disability, trauma, and migration. Applicants might also have expertise in global health security, health rights, law and governance, development, disease surveillance, the politics of health policy reform, biometrics, mental health, or health activism. Strong candidates will possess collaborative and organizational skills based on experiences working with diverse communities through collaborative partnerships (e.g., with non-profits, NGOs, foundations, community-based organizations, schools and/or local governments). We are especially interested in a scholar who takes a broad historical and geographical approach to specific, grounded health problems; who works to understand seemingly “local” issues within global economic, environmental and political processes. Our interests align with the emerging framework of “critical global health” that calls for research attentive to power dynamics and inequality, and in which scholars are accountable to the communities they study.

Applicants should have expertise in global health research, demonstrate a strong commitment to mentoring GCH majors/minors and other undergraduates, to guiding students on appropriate GCH applications, and to developing GCH’s community partnerships. We are conducting another separate search focused on health justice and quantitative research at the same time with a similar timeline for application and assessment. https://recruit.ucsc.edu/JPF00787 In both searches consideration of potential contributions to the interdisciplinary GCH programming and to diversity, equity, and inclusion will be of paramount importance.

The selected candidate will contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through research, teaching, and service and must be able to work with students, faculty and staff from a wide range of social and cultural backgrounds. The selected candidate will hold a 100 percent teaching and research appointment in a department in the Division of Social Sciences and will be expected to teach courses in support of GCH’s goals and contribute to graduate education and the mentoring of graduate students. The normal teaching load in the division is four courses over three quarters. The faculty members in the division conduct high quality, cutting edge, interdisciplinary research, and perform university, public, and professional service. The division confers the most undergraduate degrees on campus, and each department has a Ph.D. program.

UC Santa Cruz values diversity, equity, and inclusion and is committed to hiring faculty who share these values. UC Santa Cruz is a Hispanic-Serving Institution with a high proportion of first-in-family students. To be considered, candidates must demonstrate an understanding of the barriers facing traditionally underrepresented groups and must discuss their past and/or future contributions to diversity, equity, and inclusion through research, teaching, and service.

Document requirements
 * Cover Letter - Letter of application discussing research agendas, teaching interests, service experience, and relevant experience with forming collaborative partnerships with organizations
 * Statement of Contributions to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion - Statement addressing your understanding of the barriers facing traditionally underrepresented groups and your past and/or future contributions to diversity, equity, and inclusion through research, teaching, and service.

NOTES:

I'm a bit confused. It looks like there were requests for interviews sent out on Oct 24, and rejections sent out on Oct 24. Did anyone else receive neither a rejection nor an interview request? it would seem weird to not be rejected when others were, but also to not be asked for an interview. Or maybe it only seems weird if you're irrationally hopeful?

I also have not heard back either way. (11/12)

Nor have I (11/12)

Does anyone know if they've sent out invites for campus visits? (11/25)

NOTES:​​​​​​

The University of Texas at San Antonio, Assistant or Associate Professor, Latin American Eco-criticism
The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) has embarked on a focused cluster hiring plan to recruit top-tier researchers in interdisciplinary areas of knowledge that will advance the study of '''Social and Environmental Challenges in Latin America. '''Home to some of the largest bioreserves in the world and some of world’s most important biodiversity hotspots, Latin America’s environments are undergoing rapid transformation due to climate change, environmental degradation, and politico-socio-economic transformations across the region. These forces are coupled in complex ways, and understanding the coupled dynamics of society, climate, and environment in Latin America presents a grand challenge that is fertile ground for transdisciplinary research.

To address this challenge, UTSA is recruiting a cohort of researchers from different disciplines whose research centers on environmental degradation, climate change, and the associated socioeconomic and political challenges and transformations in Latin America and the US-Mexico borderlands. The goal is to foster collaborative and transdisciplinary research to understand and confront the emerging social and environmental challenges facing the region. This targeted cluster hire will build on and leverage our established research portfolio, propelling our ability to tackle and solve previously unsolvable problems. Hires are expected to build their own unique programs of research, as well as to collaborate with other hires in this cluster and with colleagues in their home department, college, and other colleges.

As part of this cluster, we seek to hire '''a tenured or tenure-track scholar (Assistant or Associate Professor) in the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures and/or the Department of Art and Art History. We seek a scholar who applies eco-criticism approaches to the literature, visual arts, and/or the media to address topics such as colonialism and human rights in colonial or contemporary Latin America and/or the Caribbean. '''The ideal candidate will also create transdisciplinary collaborative synergies among faculty hired as part of this cluster and existing faculty in the Departments of Art and Art History, Modern Languages and Literatures, English, and History, among others. We would particularly welcome a scholar who complements current faculty in terms of theoretical perspectives, methods, media of study, and time and region of focus.

===University of Toronto, Scarborough (CAN:Ont) - Assistant Professor, Teaching Stream, Creative Writing, Indigenous Literatures, and Oral Traditions=== The Department of English at the University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC) invites applications for a full-time teaching stream appointment in Creative Writing, with expertise also in Indigenous Literatures and Oral Traditions. The appointment will be at the rank of Assistant Professor, Teaching Stream, and will commence July 1, 2020.

We are seeking candidates who have a strong record of what Lee Maracle calls in Conversations with Canadians, “word art.” This might take the form of written or visual texts such as publication/production in fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, playwriting, screenwriting, television, comics/graphic novels. It might also manifest in an outstanding record of storytelling, oral practice, or related creative and communal contributions. We are seeking candidates whose work reflects an expertise in Indigenous literatures as well as the significance of creative practice to Indigenous communities, cultures, and ways of knowing. This position recognizes the capaciousness, flexibility, and limitations of “creative writing” and “literature” as academic categories.

This position is part of the University of Toronto’s response to the calls to action in Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) report. Preference will be given to candidates who self-identify as Indigenous. Recognizing that there are a variety of terms that potential candidates may use to self-identify, the University uses the term “Indigenous” in this search, which forms part of the U of T Response to Canada’s Truth and Reconciliatin Commission to encompass the people of Turtle Island, including those who identify as First Nations, Métis, Inuk (Inuit), Alaska’s Native, Native American, and Native Hawaiian people. In the upcoming year, UTSC also is planning to search for a hire in Political Science with an Indigenous-focused specialization. As well, we have created two postdoctoral fellowships for Indigenous scholars as a part of our commitment to inclusive excellence and to help ensure a supportive cohort for new Indigenous colleagues.

Candidates must either

• Have a traditional academic background, with a PhD or MFA/MA in Creative Writing or a PhD in Literature, Indigenous Studies, or a related field by the time of appointment or shortly thereafter, as well as an excellent record of “word art.”

or

• Have a significant professional and artistic record as demonstrated by creative impact within communities on and/or beyond Turtle Island; artistic mentorship or leadership; recognition as a knowledge-keeper; published works; major awards or accolades; invited presentations/performances/tours/workshops; artistic residencies; or similar experiences.

In all cases, candidates must be able to show evidence of a commitment to excellence and innovation in teaching literature and creative writing at the undergraduate level, and provide clear evidence of this as part of the application. This commitment should be demonstrated through a teaching dossier submitted as part of the application. For a complete list of applicable materials that may be included in the teaching dossier please refer to the application package paragraph below.

Candidates must also have a strong record of ethical engagement and collaboration with Indigenous communities and organizations and must provide strong endorsements by referees of high standing, including a letter of support commenting on Indigenous community engagement. Candidates must be able to show experience and engagement with at least one Indigenous community on Turtle Island, including relationship building, longstanding relationships, and possible work with community leaders and Elders. Finally, candidates must be able to show long-term experience and engagement with Indigenous organizations on Turtle Island, and evidence of understanding the importance of consensus-building relationships. UTSC and the Department of English recognize their own crucial role in consensus-building relationships as well. (Please note that Canada’s TRC response focuses on the part of Turtle Island currently known as Canada.)

Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

This position will be held in the Department of English at the University of Toronto Scarborough. Located on the traditional territories of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit in the east end of Toronto and the beautiful Highland Creek Valley, UTSC English is a close-knit department that is home to a thriving creative writing program and community of word artists. The successful applicant will bring their talents and vision to bear on our already flourishing Minor in Creative Writing (https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/engdept/minor-creative-writing) and to a proposed Major that is currently in development. The Department also offers Specialist, Major, and Minor programs in English literature, as well as a Minor in Literature and Film Studies, and has existing strengths in historical literary studies, postcolonial studies, form and genre, and intersections among literature, culture, and the other arts.

In addition to teaching in our Creative Writing program, the successful candidate will be responsible for teaching our existing third-year course on Indigenous Literatures, and will have the opportunity to design further courses related to their area of expertise. We are open to the possibility of recognizing community-based teaching as part of the successful candidate’s workload, if applicable.
