The ad at HigherEdJobs (link above) says "Position Deleted on 10/12/2011" and that the ad is "no longer active" on that site. Not clear, though, whether this means the job has been cancelled or they're just no longer accepting applications. It does not seem to have been advertised in the MLA JIL at all. The start date was early (January 2012), so perhaps the postition has already been filled?"

NOTES AND QUERIES:

Did anyone else think it was strange that there was no "complete," "submit," or "finished attaching documents" button on the application website?

- Yeah, I thought it was weird, too. I just kept looking at all the docs I'd submitted and comparing it to the list on the wiki. I couldn't find a button to finish, either.

Did anyone think the Affirmative Action "supplement to your application" form seemed a bit much? Applicant's name is automatically appended to the form which asks direct questions about age as well as race and ethnicity, and then a bunch of indirect questions (tickable answers range from very important to not at all important) which get at questions regarding applicant's priorities regarding spouses and children or potential children, as well as compensation, work space, advancement, etc. Seems a whole lot more invasive and personalized than a regular affirmative action/eoe form, no?

- I found it extremely invasive as well. Like, are you going to review my application WITH these answers in mind, or is it just going to stay in the HR office for their personal stats? Because boy, this whole "can you spouse get a job" question is so loaded.

Heartbreak (?): UCB has started requesting extra writing samples from one candidate (see above, Dec 6). Congratulations to you. Anyone else get a request for more stuff? Do tell (it would be nice/awful to know if I'm just out of the running). (X2)

- Nothing for me, either. I'm hoping the Irvine position may be more "accessible" to me :)

Well I'd sit tight here, because it's not entirely clear that the fat lady has sung. Unless one is on the search committee, one never knows what's up. Could be there are some candidates they like that they don't need to request anything from.

--Each committee and school has a really different process. Some schools read through all letters, then contact, or (as I happen to know in this case..), they contact people during the process of reading through letters. In other words, hang in there! It's not healthy to use the wiki in this way. It will break your heart and rebuild it 20x over.

-- I can guarantee that they're not done here. Berkeley English is famously late with job applications. They'll probably be one of the last schools to call people for MLA interviews. I would bet anything they haven't made it through the first pile of apps yet.

This is encouraging, somehow, Yet it reminds one just how hard such timelines are on penniless job candidates (who have to buy expensive tickets to a faraway place at the last minute and who must either cancel their existing MLA hotel reservations by Friday Dec 16 or just forfeit the cost of one night in the hotel +tax--the 16th is an MLA deadline, not a hotel deadline, mind you). I do wish there could be some standard timelines in place for these things. With all due respect, it is very hard to try to plan ahead and spend a lot of money doing so when depts keep the process up in the air until as late as possible. One can't exactly risk cancelling the hotel room secured through MLA reservation, but nor can one afford to pay more than $200 because one didn't want to take the risk of cancelling. (x2)

- I agree that the process needs a little standardization. (x2) *If* you are going to hold MLA interviews, you should be beholden to a reasonable timeline that doesn't toy with the fate of 1500 very-much-needed dollars. Thank goodness that my partner got an interview req for MLA...at least I can go there to support him even if I don't get interviews.

-I agree too. I understand that search committees work very hard at reading appliants' files, organizing interviews, etc. But it would be very helpful indeed if they could try to do it in time to plan interviews before the deadlines the MLA itself sets for hotel reservations, etc. It just makes things that much more expensive for candidates already facing the economic hardship (most candidates are grad students, postdocs, adjuncts who may not have travel and research budgets) of having to pony up in advance for what may only be the merest whiff of an interview request. This isn't just Berkeley English's fault, but it a pervasive problem that the MLA should address. Maybe we could OCCUPY MLA with a tent encampment in front of the Hyatt? A place to sleep plus attention to the plight? (TIMES TWO [writing this out to express my enthusiasm])

-Occupy MLA = love (x2)

QUESTION: Out of curiosity, can anyone explain a bit more about how the hiring process in NZ typically operates compared to the North American system? What sort of timeframe does the hiring process usually fall into? Do NZ universities tend to fly international candidates in for on campus visits? Also, I've heard tell of so-called "long-short lists" and "short-short lists"; is there a typical number of applicants that the search has been narrowed down to at each of these stages? Any insight into how all of this sort of stuff usually works in NZ would be appreciated!
