Duke University: Assistant/Associate Professor of Ethnomusicology (Deadline: 25 November 2018)

 * The Department of Music at Duke University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Ethnomusicology at the Assistant Professor or early-stage Associate Professor rank, appointment to begin July or August 1, 2019.
 * Duties: Teach undergraduate courses and graduate seminars in Ethnomusicology; participate actively in the profession; advise dissertations and contribute actively to the development of the new Ph.D. track in Ethnomusicology; share in departmental responsibilities.
 * Qualifications: Candidates will have received the Ph.D. degree by June 2019. A Ph.D. in Ethnomusicology or a related field is required; demonstrable evidence of scholarly publication, excellence in teaching. Applicants at the rank of Associate Professor must be no more than four years out from promotion to Associate at the time of application for this position.
 * The search committee seeks scholars whose primary research area involves Ethnomusicology. The precise area of study and specialization are open. The successful candidate will have theoretic and research interests that complement the strengths of the current graduate faculty in Music; will participate actively in developing the newly established Ethnomusicology Ph.D. track; and will be open to imaginative collaboration with other units on campus. We are receptive to a range of approaches—from social-scientific or humanistic to the performative—to undergraduate teaching.
 * Candidates should submit a letter of application describing their research agenda, a curriculum vitae, two writing samples (one of which should be an article-length document), a statement of teaching philosophy, and the names and contact information of three references to http://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/11877. Applications received by November 25, 2018 will receive full consideration.
 * 11/19 Note that the description above (copied and pasted faithfully from the original) mentions "a letter of application describing their research agenda," when the actual application (the materials required when you enter the academic jobs portal) requires a cover letter and a separate research statement.
 * 1/4: did anyone else just receive a "request for letters"? Received a note asking me to submit letters ASAP, if I had not already done so. I hadn't, since this application seemed to ask for just contact info, but not letters (though letters were "acceptable"). (x3)
 * 1/7 Request for Skype interview.
 * 1/10 so they read the letters and came up with the long list over the weekend? this seems odd...
 * 1/11 That doesn't seem like an odd timeline to me, especially this time of year when departments are trying to get searches moved on to the next step before spring classes start up.
 * 1/12 It means the committee made the long list within two days of asking for letters and/or met over the weekend. I've been on search committees and that is extremely unusual in my experience.
 * 1/17 I agree that this seems odd. Here's why: they requested letters on 1/4. When I inquired when they wanted the letters by, they clarified that the letters should be submitted by 1/11. For someone who posted above, they requested a Skype interview as of 1/7. Thus they didn't wait for the letters to come in before asking for Skype interviews. odd ≠ bad, but definitely confusing
 * 1/22 Notified that I was not selected for the final round of interviews

===University of Louisville: Assistant/Associate Professor - Musicology (Deadline: 18 January 2019)===


 * Deadline to apply: January 18, 2019
 * Effective Date: August 1, 2019
 * The University of Louisville School of Music is seeking a candidate in Musicology with primary specialization(s) in music after 1900. Those with research specialties in additional areas (such as Jazz studies, popular music studies, ethnomusicology, etc.) are especially encouraged to apply.
 * Appointment: The successful applicant will be responsible for teaching graduate seminars, a course on western art music (1870-present) that is part of the three-semester undergraduate history sequence, and introductory non-major courses, as well as providing service to the department, university, and discipline. In addition, responsibilities may include advising theses and independent studies. Tenure-track faculty must undertake independent scholarly activity appropriate for advancement within the School of Music.
 * Qualifications
 * Applicants must present evidence of scholarly accomplishment and effective teaching.
 * The completed Ph.D. is a preferred qualification for applicant and is a requirement for successful tenure consideration.
 * Experience with web-based instruction and use of current classroom technology tools will be an advantage.


 * 11/27: the application site seems to be missing some of the usual components. I started an app to see what documents are required, and it only allowed for a CV upload. No space for a cover letter, contact info. for references, etc., unless I missed a page somehow. (Good old PeopleSoft!)  If anyone sorts it out, would appreciate insight. (x2)
 * 12/2 It says "please submit a current curriculum vitae, cover letter of application, and three current letters of recommendation to Chair, Musicology Search Committee, School of Music, University of Louisville, Louisville KY 40292." Elsewhere within the application system, it says: "Only ONE attachment can be uploaded per application. If you wish to include a cover letter or other documents, please combine them as one document with your resume/cv, save the document with a simple short title that contains only letters, spaces, or numbers (Do not use any special characters except for _ (underscore) or - (hyphen) in the resume filename) and then upload." I'm taking this to mean that I should put my CV and cover letter into one file and upload, but I will also put all that along with three letters into an Interfolio delivery and send it off to that address. You'll probably be OK just sending the three letters separate from CV and cover letter, but it can't hurt.
 * 12/15 I’m the Chair of this Search Committee, and I was appointed after the open position was posted on our HR website with application instructions. I’m writing to clarify or modify three points about the position and how to apply. First, the job is actually open at both Assistant Professor or Associate Professor levels. (That is made clear in the HR position description of rank, although it is not clear from the header of the position announcement.) Second, the deadline for applications is 18 January, after which the website will not accept them. Third, because our HR website only permits the upload of a single file, any or all of the additional items may be sent to me at r.jemian@louisville.edu. (Applicants are encouraged to send their materials as pdfs via email; of course, any documents sent through USPS will be accepted.) The required items for initial consideration after online application at the UofL job website are: cover letter, c.v., and three letters of reference—whether sent from a hosting service such as Interfolio or directly from reference writers.
 * 12/18 Thank you for clarifying! I've updated the job title and deadline. -5120j

 * Description: The Yale University Department of Music seeks to hire two historical musicologists, with primary specializations in music since 1600, for tenure‑track or tenured positions, with a preferred starting date of Fall 2019. Rank is open and appointments can be made at the assistant, tenured associate, or full professor levels. We are looking for scholars and inspiring teachers of exceptional intellectual promise and/or accomplishment, whose research is methodologically innovative and profoundly engaged with music‑making and musical repertories. Interdisciplinary emphases and a demonstrated engagement with related fields of study are highly desirable.
 * Qualifications: Applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent at the time of hire.
 * Application Instructions: Applications should include a CV and cover letter. Candidates applying for an untenured appointment should also submit a minimum of three reference letters from outside Yale, along with a writing sample. The committee will begin reviewing applications on 15 September 2018, and the review will continue until the positions are filled.
 * 9/15 (1) What does this last paragraph mean? I gather that if I'm applying as an assistant, then I DO need to submit three recommendations? But if I designate (somewhere?) that I'm applying at the tenured level or "full professor" level, then I DON'T? Is that right? Also, why do they not make a firm deadline? Will applications submitted after Sept. 15 be considered, or not? No promises? Strangely ambiguous.


 * 9/15 (2) I think if you already have tenure you don't have to send in letters. But if you are currently untenured then you should submit letters.
 * 9/15 (1) Got it...what about the rolling deadline thing? I have seen this once or twice before. Does anyone know what it means? Thanks.
 * 9/15 (3) I've been on the market for a couple of years, and I think it's best to always treat the wording above (in Tenure-Track job ads) to mean that the firm deadline is September 15. Keep in mind that more often than not, the application software is set up to stop accepting applications after the date mentioned (in this case, September 15).
 * 12/10 On-campus interview request (for "first of two open positions") x2
 * 02/02 Any movement on the *second* of the two open positions?
 * 02/4: If I had to guess, the department might be interested in hiring someone for one position then looking to complement, rather than running two independent searches. That's just a hunch, though. I don't have any inside information.
 * 3/12 Does the "Assistant Professor Adjunct" job posted in non-tenure-track below indicate a failed search?
 * 3/12 (2) The "two tenure-track musicology positions" here are for the Department of Music, whereas the "Assistant Professor Adjunct" job is for the School of Music.
 * 3/12 (3) No. The search is active, and campus interviews have been scheduled.
 * 3/13 Thanks for clarifying!

 * 10/21 RE: letters & transcripts: it looks like they can either be uploaded under Optional Documents (and therefore would not be confidential) or sent hard-copy, but I'd like to confirm that's what they really want. Has anyone had luck tracking down contact info for a departmental assistant or anyone on the SC there who might be able to advise? I can't find anything on their website apart from the generic HR phone/email.
 * 10/22 I wondered the same thing. I assumed that this meant hard copy letters sent via snail mail (which you can do on Interfolio).

New York University: Assistant Professor, Department of Music, Faculty of Art and Sciences (Deadline: 10 December 2018)

 * The Department of Music at New York University invites applications for a scholar of music studies at the assistant level. This tenure-track position will begin September 1, 2019, pending budgetary and administrative approval. We are looking for a superb scholar who will be a dynamic presence both in the classroom and the field. Their work should complement the research and methodologies of current faculty and bring fresh approaches to the study of musical and sonic practices and their historiography. Our department is committed to interdisciplinarity. We encourage work that crosses and connects the department’s three subfields--composition, ethnomusicology, and musicology--and reaches out to other fields and modes of inquiry.
 * The successful candidate should be able to teach the graduate proseminar, the department’s undergraduate general education course in sound, and undergraduate and graduate elective courses in their areas of expertise.
 * Qualifications: Applicants should have a Ph.D. in a relevant field (ABD applicants must complete the Ph.D. before taking up the position), demonstrated excellence in teaching and research, and exceptional intellectual promise.
 * Application Instructions: Applicants should submit a letter of application, a curriculum vitae, and three letters of reference.

 * 11/21 Edited title to reflect that the position is vaguely worded on Interfolio page; position is only music studies, in NYU's FAS


 * 1/17 Request for writing sample x2
 * 2/1 Any movement here? Appears from the above that only one person was asked to submit a writing sample. Can anyone confirm?
 * 2/3 I don't understand the assumption that everyone who's on the market is posting here. Of course more than one person was asked for a writing sample.
 * 2/4 Certainly there's no expectation that everyone on the market is staking out the Wiki, just as there is no one way for a search to progress, hence an honest inquiry about the state of this search. No need to belittle those who inquire about updates for a search in which they have invested time, money, and emotional labor.
 * 2/4 Fair, and I did not intend to belittle the question. Larger point is that we should all do our best to approach the wiki as a very partial source of information, and keep our assumptions reasonable (e.g., that a search is unlikely to arrive at a point where only one person is asked for a writing sample). But I apologize if my tone was crap!
 * 2/7 Request for Skype interview (x2)
 * 2/21 Invitation for campus interview
 * 3/13 Just received what we in the singer world call a PFO. Politely worded and all that, still. (x3)

 * 11/10 yeah surely this is untrue, perhaps someone posted that by mistake

 * d) The Recruitment Advisory Committee will meet to discuss and decide on the final slate of top candidates from the qualified pool of applicants. A list of those to be recommended for an interview will be presented to the Dean for consideration and further action.

 * 1/15 Posting purely as an FYI, and to give kudos to UC Davis - THIS is how to do an inside hire! No outside candidates need to waste their time applying.
 * 1/15 I second the posting above. This should become a model for all inside and/or spousal hires. Well done, UC Davis. Hope other institutions take note.
 * 1/15 Can someone clarify? What does the language about full-time equivalent or FTE mean exactly? And if this is an internal hire and publicly acknowledged as such, then why advertise it publicly in the first place?
 * 1/17 My interpretation of what that FTE statement means is that since this will be an internal hire, the addition of this position will not add to the current FTE count for the institution. And I bet that all positions at public universities in California have to be advertised publicly, even if to a limited extent. As far as I can tell, this one was posted only on the UC Davis HR site and on HERC jobs. I didn't see it anywhere else.

It has teaching and research/creative responsibilities in the fields of musicology or ethnomusicology and Women’s Studies. The person in this position would also be expected to participate in activities related to Music, Women’s Studies, and/or UGA, including but not limited to committees, student advising,recruiting and assessments.

At least one academic year of college-level teaching experience in one of these fields.

 * Evidence of training, expertise, and commitment to women and gender studies.
 * Musicology applicants whose scholarly expertise broadens the current research profile of the musicology faculty, and ethnomusicology candidates with a background in the musics of Asia or Latin America are especially encouraged to apply.

 * Interest in making interdisciplinary contributions to other academic units and to academic or performance-based areas of the school.

 * 1/13: Request for Skype interview (x2)
 * 2/4: Any news here? Have yet to hear back after the skype interview. +/- 2 weeks standard?
 * 2/4: (2) Since you asked, I would say that two weeks is a minimum; it *can* be a month (or more) before a search committee invites candidates to campus after a Skype/phone interview, although in the middle of the semester (like now) that length of time (4+ weeks) would probably be unusual (though not impossible). At that stage, a search committee does not usually send formal rejections to candidates from the phone interview stage who they're not inviting to campus. I know first hand that the waiting game can be a real pain.
 * 3/3: Anyone heard anything? I'm tempted to email to follow up and ask if they've notified the successful candidates as it's now been over a month since the interviews
 * 3/3 Not heard (x2)
 * 3/4: (Same person who posted the longer comment above on 2/4; I have no inside information; I did not apply for this job.) Not that you asked for advice about this, but I would counsel *not* emailing the search committee, much as I understand how strongly one can want clarification, much as I understand how lackadaisical *some* search committees can be, and much as I understand how impolite the typical slow drip feed of information to candidates during almost any academic job search can feel.
 * 3/7: Campus interviews are in progress.

GENERAL DISCUSSION
Musicology/Ethnomusicology 2018-19 Wiki Moderator: 5120j (5120janon@gmail.com)


 * A few comments from 5120j:
 * 1. My rule of thumb for deciding which jobs to post is: "COULD an ethno/musicologist fill this post?" Not the more narrow question "WILL an ethno/musicologist fill this post?" So, this means I will post more general "humanities" jobs, and positions (mostly at small schools) looking for someone to teach music history/appreciation but also direct an ensemble/teach applied lessons/etc. (If the most important part of the job seems to be the ensemble directing/applied lessons and music history/appreciation is an add-on, I don't post it.)
 * 2. I post almost the entire text of the job ad (except in the case of part-time/adjunct jobs) so that if any changes are made later, they can be noticed and noted. The ads also usually disappear from the institution's website after the application deadline has passed, so it's helpful to preserve them here. And it's very instructive to see how the winning candidate did and didn't fit the job as it was advertised. I do usually excise the description of the hiring school/department/facilities and the EOE boilerplate, but I leave the rest of it as-is. Removing anything more feels like editorializing on my part.
 * 3. I don't have a current membership to CMS/MVL or SEM so if jobs are posted only in those locations, I won't see them. I don't think we've missed too many in the last few years though, since most jobs are advertised fairly widely.
 * 4. My anon email is 5120janon at gmail, and I welcome comments and questions about the wiki and its moderation this year. I'm not a musicologist of any type and am not (and will not be) on the market myself, but I have a professional interest in the ethno/musicology job market.
 * 5. NEW FOR 2019! I am going to try separating jobs into a couple categories, as other wikis do. Also, I'm going to stop posting the entire text of part-time/adjunct jobs, since this wiki always gets borderline unusable by the spring, since it's so huge.


 * 8/14 question for the moderator: I like the new categories, but what to do if a job potentially fits two categories? For example, the tenure-track job at UC San Diego seems likely to attract candidates from ethnomusicology as well as musicology (or someone who does a little of both). Also, a comment: thanks for all that you do!
 * 8/15 Yes, I concur. I don't want there to be TOO many categories (or the goal of being able to focus quickly on the jobs most relevant to you will be compromised), but tenure-track jobs that are open to both historical musicologists and ethnomusicologists is probably going to be a common enough situation that it does deserve its own category. I'll go ahead and add it and move the UC San Diego job. -5120j
 * I'm just checking in with the Wiki and finding the many categories burdensome and confusing.  If you're in the US, have no intention of moving outside of North America, and are a Perotin or Gamelan scholar, it's probably useful, but it strikes me as overly compartmentalized and US-centric (and it should be "Ireland/UK," btw).  Any consideration of reverting to the old standard after this iteration?  I'm about to post a bunch of positions and am strategizing if I'd like to post them in Ethno or Ethno/Musico -- since Ethno is first on this list that's my lean, but it should really be a both... ah, never mind, UK/Ireland is lower down... and actually, the positions might be EU positions not in "UK/Ireland" after all.  In other words, scrolling and looking for *just the institution name* was elegant and user friendly -- otherwise, it's all control-F anyway.  Thanks for your consideration!  (And, regardless, thanks for your work!).


 * 9/14 General inquiry: for those of us on the market, is it essential to attend AMSMT? Given the cost and timing, it's tempting to forego the trip this year, but I'm worried about missing out on some potentially life-changing prelim. interview or networking opportunity. Thoughts from those with more experience?
 * 9/17 It wasn't for me. I hadn't attended the previous national meeting when I landed my TT job. I'm not saying that you shouldn't, nor can I say definitively to what extent my situation is typical or not. If I had to guess, based upon my experience, I'd say that the AMS national conference component is more crucial to interviews for jobs where you won't be the only musicologist in your department. In positions where you're going to be the only musicologist, it seems less likely that this will be crucial to your chances. Indeed, many of your potential non-musicology colleagues might not know exactly what AMS is, let alone attend its national meeting to network with applicants. (That's not a slight. They have their own societies, in which few of us often participate.) But if you're in doubt, go.
 * 9/18 Attending SEM was crucial to landing my tenure-track job in ethnomusicology because the department that hired me conducted first round interviews there. In my case, they requested the interview the week before the meeting. I know many departments do this at the big fall conferences, while others do "informational interviews" before applications are due. It's a very unpredictable system. I'd say that if you can afford to go even for just one or two days, it can't hurt your chances. The cost to your personal finances, however, is a different story. This year's meetings are more expensive than normal.
 * Thanks for sharing. I'm curious when schools set up these first round interviews that take place at SEM. Is a week's notice pretty typical? Also, is there any value to attending these "informational interviews"?
 * I don't think an "informational interview" alone is worth the expense of going to to a fall conference. The cattle call nature of them can feel overwhelming. If you have another reason to go, then they can be interesting because you can get a sense of whether or not you want to apply. They can also give you a good idea of what to put in the application and the priorities of the committee. I have only been invited to a couple of first round interviews at fall conferences, and in both cases, the notice was relatively short (1-2 weeks) and the committee was prepared to do skype interviews for those who couldn't attend.
 * 9/18 Speaking from the other side of the table: our university has done AMS interviews in the past. In no case ever was anyone not considered for the job because they were not at the meeting, or there but could not get a slot. All CVs were carefully considered at home. In many cases, however, that initial contact did help weed out people who didnot move on. Only if someone really stood out as special, did it help their case. More often, that preliminary meeting kept individuals from moving on because in person they may not have seemed like a "good fit," even if their CV might have held up to the next round without the contact.  Of course, every institution is different, and thereby their approach to the matter is different, so as the previous person stated, if you think it will help do it, but you probably should not worry if you choose not to. Remember, though, those preliminary interviews may help your case, but they may also do the opposite. Food for thought.
 * 10/8 Kudos to the Moderator for removing hateful, ignorant posts. There should be, however, a serious discussion about the kinds of positions opening for music studies candidates. The majority of TT jobs posted in the last two years desire some amount of expertise in ethnomusicology, popular music, 20th-21st-century musics, global perspectives, etc. Is this a wave of (much-needed) openings for such experts, or a paradigm shift in the field? What responsiblity do we have to our PhD students, who are choosing their dissertation topics? Should we be teaching to the needs of the job market?
 * 10/17 Good question. From the other side of things, a lot of ethnomusicology jobs (or jobs in the hybrid category above) require teaching WAM along with things like world music--something I'd imagine some ethnomusicologists are not trained to do. I imagine that there's a convergence of musicology and ethnomusicology occurring from both sides, out of a desire to both diversify musicology methods/scope and also bring ethnomusicology in line with the existing needs/focus of departments. It seems like this should encourage grad programs to teach both, or at least help students gain proficiency in both modes of scholarship/teaching. I wonder if this is indeed a paradigm shift or if it's been a common thing to see over the past 10 years or so. And I'd be curious to know whether these hybrid jobs usually go to ethnomusicologists or musicologists.
 * 11/1 Notably, I believe this is the first year with ZERO institutions doing interviews (even preliminary informational interviews) at AMS. The only two institutions listed are both interviewing for theory jobs as part of the SMT joint meeting: https://www.amsmusicology.org/page/SA_interviews Does this mark the end of the conference interview for musicology/ethnomusicology?
 * 11/4 As a follow up, I'm curious more generally what the ebbs and flows of the job market are, in terms of the activity from search committees. I imagine TT positions and more prestigious institutions post jobs early in the cycle, and the VAPs, lecturer, instructor, and other non-TT positions appear in the spring. What months tend to have the most activity? October and March? I suppose it revolves around when search committees can actually meet to move things forward, so times like winter break are times of relative inactivity.
 * 11/20 An inquiry about the Dartmouth position, for which many on here and on various social media have noted the number of applicants stated in the rejection email: 322. The ad welcomed theorists as well as musicologists, and dozens of scholars already on the tenure track were surely throwing their names into the hat. However, the number still feels much higher than anything that the Wiki, or the common wisdom of peers and mentors, has thus far suggested, at least for this writer. Does anyone know how it's possible for a single ad to receive this many applicants? Why don't more institutions state the number of applicants? Why is there so much talk of the AMS tracking the market, or of increased transparency in hiring, yet no action on this on anyone's part? Should emerging scholars just give up now, if they'll always be pitted against hundreds of people with more developed CVs? Interested in people's thoughts, especially anyone on here who's been on a committee and has an idea what exactly "the market" is and whether people just out of grad school stand a chance.
 * 11/21 Great thoughts, and I sympathize with your frustration after having experienced many rejections over the course of my career. I can only address the last question with any authority. It really depends on the type of university (e.g., research-intensive vs teaching, etc.), the needs of the department (unusual curriculum? niche need?), and then the candidate's tenurability according to those needs, assuming the position is TT. A lot of fresh graduates are tenurable in 5-7 years at most places if they have a strong publication trajectory in peer-reviewed venues and/or strong teaching chops, depending on the standards. So I wouldn't give up just because you're relatively inexperienced. A solid research plan and dependable teaching are the coins of the realm--period. Communicate those clearly to the committee, and everything else is beyond your control.
 * 11/24 Another voice here.  I've kept an eye on musicology job listings for years, twice collecting statistics.  It's been a few years and collecting the data was always 'iffy' as getting official numbers is sometimes quite a challenge.  For what it is worth, the average number of applicants was 37 per listing, and keep in mind that includes small schools in rural locations.  While the number attracted by Dartmouth seems high, one trend I did note was that schools in the NE corridor attracted far more candidates than schools elsewhere. Working conditions are unionized and salaries and benefits are good, plus one is near so very much.  There is also the likelihood that many of us not actively looking for a position would see the Dartmouth post and consider giving it a try.  These are just thoughts, so take them for the little they are worth.  Also, as many of us will attest, sometimes a position seems perfectly tailored to one's strengths, line by line, yet one is in the first pile of those cut.  Other times, one makes the final 3 even though the initial ad was somewhat different from the candidates area.  Sometimes there is just no telling what the committee was thinking.  I look back, too, at the first committee I chaired, and wonder why we instantly rejected one particular candidate who was well overqualified for the post, with numerous publications and a great teaching record.  We didn't even discuss it, just moved the candidate to the reject pile.  I think looking back we all saw the overqualification and assumed he wouldn't accept what we had to offer or, if he did, wouldn't stay in our area for long.


 * (3/14) Question about realities of entering the job market as an ABD. Hoping for feedback both from those who have been successful job seekers and those who have been on search committees. How many of you obtained a TT position while still an ABD? Also wondering if those who have been on the market as both ABD and with PhD in hand noticed a significant uptick in interviews and/or job offers with degree in hand as opposed to without. To those on search committees, do you give the same consideration to ABD applicants as you do to those with PhD in hand, or is there an immediate narrowing down of applicants based on degree status alone? I realize that I'm asking questions that can be very position-specific so I'm just hoping for some feedback based on your personal experience and knowledge. I threw my hat into the ring this year as an ABD with no luck so far and I'm wondering if I might have had more success with a completed degree.
 * (3/14) IMO you're thinking about this too mechanically. A TT search committee should be asking one question: Is this person likely to be tenurable in the standard time allotted? If the school is research-intensive and you've laid out a plausible five-year research plan as an ABD candidate in your cover letter, the committee would be foolish to throw you out simply for being ABD; they might want assurances from you/your advisor that your degree will be completed before the start date, because if it's not, that cuts into your tenurability (depending on the practice of the school--some places will give you a one-year position as "instructor" or similar before your tenure clock starts). If your degree is in hand but you have a lackluster research plan, you still wouldn't be a good candidate. The same principles would apply at a teaching institution, depending on what the tenure standards are.
 * (3/15) I work at a "teaching institution" and have a somewhat different perspective than the previous poster. Graduate school prepares us well to do research, but most programs offer little in terms of formal teaching preparation. I would have concerns about any ABD candidate applying for a position that comes with a significant teaching load (e.g. 4/4 load). Will the candidate have enough material to draw upon? Does she/he have sustained experience as a teacher of record? For such positions, a couple of years of experience (or even more) beyond the doctorate are certainly helpful, if not necessary. (Demonstrating an aptitude for teaching during the interview is one thing, but candidates usually have a couple of weeks to prepare for that class.) How will they handle twelve hours of new content each week for that first year or two? In short, I'd say it depends much on the type of position you want. I see the average ABD applicant as better prepared jump in to a research-centered position than one that requires a high number of contact hours.
 * (3/15) Original poster logging in to thank both of you for your feedback. I'll keep in mind the advice about the concerns at "teaching institutions" and will frame my cover letter accordingly. I do have sustained experience as the instructor of record and have already taught 4/4 loads while writing my dissertation. This experience has shown me that I do hope to end up at a "teaching institution" but I see now that I have probably not focused enough on my teaching experience in my application materials.
 * (3/15) "Research intensive" poster here. You're welcome, and thanks, too, to the 3/15 "teaching institution" poster for adding that additional insight. Very helpful! I think the common theme is to do your best at each stage to demonstrate you are capable of meeting the position's specific demands. Help the committee envision you in the role.
 * (03/19) Unfortunately, most people on the market will get neither a research nor a teaching intensive full-time/TT position. We know the stats on contingent positions, and while I haven't counted, the vast majority of the posts even on this wiki are surely for contingent rather than TT positions. Until we're ready to organize as faculty-- across all levels-- to demand that universities fullfill their teaching, research, and diversity and inclusion missions by offering all faculty living wages and contracts, the situation is only going to get worse. (It's not for nothing, it should be noted, that as women and people of color have earned PhDs and have pushed forward scholarship that long ignored questions of race, gender, inequity, etc., the pay and stability of faculty jobs in those fields have gone down). The University of Pittsburgh Faculty Union is a great example of the kind of faculty organizing we need do across institutions-- the faculty are not split by rank or position type (http://www.pittfaculty.org/). In the meantime, may we all be able to find stable and living wage jobs after we finally exhaust ourselves out of the job market rat race, and good luck to you OP in your embarking upon this terrible and lonely trail.
