 * Rockford University (11/13) x4 Q. In an email, an HR rep requested 'required salary'. What is the answer one should give? A1. You need to do your research and compare against the type of university jobs where you're interested in working and consider cost of living and your own family and debt situation. A good place to start to see what is competitive is here: https://www.aaup.org/our-work/research/annual-report-economic-status-profession but there are also different ranges for different fields. I think I saw that modern languages tend to come in about 4% under average. I'll say that this is a terrible HR practice that further concentrates power in the hands of the employer who, in this market, has so much power already. I categorically refuse to give a number. I typically answer something like "I'm very excited about the possibility of working with you and I'd hate to reduce the compensation conversation to just a number when there are so many other elements to a comprehensive offer. If through the interview process we still think that we'd be a mutual good fit I'm sure we'd be able to work something out."  A2: You can check sites like GlassDoor too, that might help get an idea of what salaries are like at a particular institution. In my experience, the few times that salary has come up early in the interview process (usually immediately prior to arranging a campus visit), it has been so that the school can confirm that you're willing to work for 40k, so that they don't waste resources flying you out there only to have to turn down an offer with an absurdly low salary. I don't have any advice on how to respond to the HR request you received tho :( A3: https://data.chronicle.com has pretty good data, but it is for all professions, not just languages, so I would take A1's advice regarding 4% under average with this tool as well.

R2: I haven't seen anything and the application submission website is working, so I wouldn't pay much attention to that anonymous comment. Apply. OP: Look below in the jobs section of available jobs, someone this morning edited the job submission down there to say search cancelled. I already applied and my application still says under review but was just curious why someone changed the job on this page, that is all. OP: 'To confirm, Ball State has cancelled the position. I just received an email from them stating they have decided not to fill the position at this time.
 * Any news from UT-San Antonio (Hispanic Linguistics) post Skype interview?

Best of luck! A2: Me too!  A3: I wouldn't hold my breath on Barnard - they posted the identical job description last year and, according to last year's wiki and my own experience, it seems like they never interviewed anyone for the job (and never even responded to emails or sent rejections).

 * Any news from Montréal?
 * FYI, a committement over the last many years to hire only white european or American men is not a committment  to diversity, and certainly not where we want to go in medieval Iberian studies. You can add early modern postitions to this situation also. Most of the Medieval and Early Modern positions in the past two years have been given to male Europeans or Americans. The visting postions have been left for women in the fields.  I appreciate these comments very much and hope this veiled discourse can be continued so that they are not deleted because this really needs to be said in the Iberian realm, as it is being said in others. R1 As far as I know, one of the few positions of those two fields last year went to a man from Puerto Rico; other to an American woman with Latin American heritage, and other to a woman from Spain... (you can check last year's announcements and the websites of the institutions if you want). So I am referring to half of the positions last year (don't know about the rest), and just talking about last year. R2 Sitting at the IMANA table with me at Kalamazoo this year were three new hires in Medieval Spanish literature. One was a Hispanic man, one an American woman, and one an Arab. In fact, I, the white American male, felt left out because I had not gotten a tenure-track hire. R3: To the person who made this post originally: what source were you basing your comments on? R4: I think the initial poster is referring to a specific embattled job. If I am correct, they are definitly right, no question about that. R4: It seemed the original person was speaking in general terms about many different types of positions (medieval Iberian studies, Early Modern, and then commenting on VAPs). I did not get the sense at all that they were referring to a specific position.
 * Anyone heard from Bowling Green?
 * Any updates about Texas State University literature position? Thanks!
 * Any news from U Virginia? A1. This is not a real job search. They are doing this for the second year in a row because of an ongoing situation with somebody. Applicants wait forever and never hear anything. I have a close friend involved in the situation, which is how I know. Q2. Are you talking about the position in Spanish Peninsular Literature, 15th to present? A2. We hired last year (http://spanitalport.as.virginia.edu/people/profile/sa9a) and are running a second search this year, also in Peninsular, to replace recent retirements (http://spanitalport.as.virginia.edu/emeritus-faculty). I teach in the department, but all of this information is on our website for the public. The job market is hard enough without crazy rumors. Let's try to support each other here. A3. Appreciate the information from within the department. A4. But, are they scheduling interviews at all? Q3. Qué pasa con esta gente de Virginia? Han empezado a entrevistar a alguien? No hay noticias por ningún lado A1. Yo sí tuve una entrevista con U of Virginia. Me dijeron que tenían que hacer más entrevistas entonces supongo que no soy el único a quien han entrevistado (obviamente). Q4. Gracias por la información. Es para el puesto de Peninsular, verdad? Podrías decir si la(s) entrevista(s) fue(ron) reciente(s)? Más o menos cuándo? Gracias!
 * Anything on the U Miami job? A: I recieved the affirmative action form today. For some reason their webpage isn't working today. I have a feeling that there is an inside candidate, but who knows. Good luck! A2: Hmm...wondering how to interpret that...think it's a mass email to everyone who's applied? A3: I feel like it was a mass e-mail, too. The webpage worked perfectly when I tried it. What makes you think there’s an internal candidate, A?
 * Any news on the Boston U. position?
 * Does anyone know who is in the search committee for the Columbia U job? They have a new top professor in the house and was wondering if he is part of the search.
 * Any news on the Virginia Tech position?  A: I haven't heard anything, 11/28/18.  FYI, this position was created as a spousal position.  A2: 12/4/18 It's been filled.
 * Anything from Bowdoin? Nada.
 * Q: Any news on the University of British Columbia Caribbeanist position?
 * Any news on the Columbia U. position?
 * Q: Anyone heard from Wabash College in Indiana?
 * Q: Any news on the University of British Columbia Mexicanist position after Skype interviews?
 * A friend just told me that Northern Arizona U received more than 140 applications. A1. Most universities get over 100 applications for a TT position. A2. I got my TT in 2009, after the Recession hit, and there were over 300 applications for the position I got. It was on OK school but definitely not an Ivy and not in a desirable location. So the market is getting better. A3 Original Poster: The number surprised me. Thank you both for your insight.
 * Middlebury TT is 100% an inside higher. I know exactly who they plan on highering. It will be a spouse higher.  -A1. Jeez, they could have mentioned it. I spent weeks working on that application and hurt my back doing so. What does an institution lose by telling the truth? Or just saying "there's a good chance we'll hire one of our own"? A2. I feel your pain, A1. I have suffered from this myself and I've also been on two search committees where we wanted to give a TT position to our adjuncts because it would be unfair and wrong to deny them a chance. We would have loved nothing more than to do that and not declare a fake search. But the HR did not allow us to do that. We were told to conduct a bona fide search and we had to fake that we were doing it. The legal was hovering over us every step of the way to ensure we were really interviewing. It was horrible to look at the hopeful faces of candidates during Skype interviews knowing that we were deceiving them. At least, we wiggled out of doing any fake campus visits. I don't know what a search committee can do to prevent this kind of truly dishonest and vicious thing. There should be a possibility within the system to promote existing VPs or adjuncts without conducting thse fake searches but currently that lies outisde the purview of faculty. The best of luck to you with your search!
 * Q: Environmental literature, Any news on Oberlin Environmental Studies job?
 * Pitzer Spanish/French: Language proficiency in one of the languages could be just enough to teach basic levels.


 * At the College of the Holy Cross, there is a Visiting Assistant Professor that completed his PhD with Albert Lloret at UMass-Ahmerst. He does Catalan studies in Early Modern Spain and one of his directors is the husband of a professor at Holy Cross. I would not be surprised if they offer him the TT in Golden Age. He is already teaching Golden Age as VAP at Holy Cross this year. A2 Muchas gracias por la información, un favor como este para la comunidad hace que merezca la pena seguir esta página (y "seguir adelante" también). A3: Maybe so, but the VAP is there because their previous specialist announced a departure late last year. The VAP was very likely hired before they even had an ad crafted, beyond obvious factors of whether or not he and the dept. fit together. It's important to apply and try to understand trajectories of position offerings before assuming internal candidates, though of course, they exist. A4. Yes, UMass is a pipeline for Holy Cross. We are nearby. Many spouses work in both campuses, and a quick search through the program page will reveal many UMass PhDs. If the specialist who left early is who I think it is, HC was never going to hire that person as a TT anyway. A5. The specialist who left was John Cull, who retired and moved to Virginia. After that, they posted a VAP position, and now they have been authorized to open a TT. This nepotism is common in Jesuit universities. A6: "Inside candidates" are not the problem and should not be villified in this forum. They struggle alongside the rest of us. They are mostly adjuncts.  Not fun. Nepotism is not good, I agree. But the insiders are not the problem; they are comrades in this struggle. abrazos. A7: I agree strongly with your point, A6, but I'm also concerned with how you are 'outing' a candidate's experience on the job market. I do not think you should be sharing the personal experiences of another candidate, unless, of course, you are the candidate and you decide to share this information willingly. This is a small world, and it is very easy to find out who is who from the information given on this forum. A7: Thank you for your post. I agree. I will delete. A8: I knew a VAP who worked there, an early modern specialist. He was maltreated. I can’t recall all the details anymore. It was back in the late 2000’s. Am just putting this out there as a reminder that some of these jobs are hell holes, so if you don’t get an interview there, later on you discover that you dodged one. Just sayin.’ A9: Well, all I know about Holy Cross is that they asked for a teaching video and never watched mine (can track views on YouTube). Understanding that it's probably because the other docs weren't quite on a par with their expectations, I still see this as a sign of negligence and disrespect toward their applicants' time. A10 That's actually a good point, I've just checked as well and they didn't watch my video either... (and it took me time to figure it out how to do and record it, only for this position) I also consider that this kind of things are a stupid waste of time. A11: The same thing for me, they even sent me an email because I had not included the video in my application (I also thought it was a waste of time), I finally recorded the video and sent to them because I thought they were interested in my application, but I never received an answer after that.

Free advice (especially for colleagues new to the market)

 * Wishing all the MLA-ers the best of luck! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqArENVqvhw A1: Thanks!!!!!!! A2: Thank you, and same!!!
 * Would American Univerisites or Colleges typically sponsor candidates for VAP positions or would that only happen with TT jobs? A1: Depends on the University/College, some do, some don't. A2: It also depends oh how soon you get the offer. Your chances of getting sponsored are much higher if the institution does not have to look for express procedures to sponsor you. Thanks, A1 and A2. Would most VAP positions for 2019 be advertised by now or do you reckon there should be more coming after Christmas? A3: More VAP positions will come out after the holidays, especially as people begin to accept/reject offers. They can be announced quite late into the semester actually.
 * How does everyone prepare for Skype interviews here? I have had a few go really well, and a few go really not well, and just looking for advice in general on how to approach them.
 * The Professor is In?
 * What would you guys say about short skype interviews? Interviews that instead of lasting 30 m. last 10? To me is not a good sign. It seems that the research committee already made up their minds. What do you guys think? A1: I don't necessarily think this is a bad sign - I actually received a job following a 15 minute skype interview that was slated to last 30 minutes. I think it also depends on many other factors. A2: Conversely, I'd say that it's not necessarily true that longer interviews are always a good sign; last year, my MLA interview lasted over an hour, and yet I still wasn't invited to a campus visit... A3: sounds crazy; out of curiosity, may I ask what exactly was discussed in the ten minutes? A1: Thank you so much for your responses, I really appreciate them! A3. This was a Skype interview with a top Liberal Arts College. All the questions were about teaching and the person's contribution to the department and the college more generally. The person responded each question in 2 minutes or so. There were 4 professors, each of them asked a question and no one followed up after the candidate responded. The candidate was being succinct --although creative and enthusiastic-- because he was expecting a longer interview. But he was surprised when the professors said, "okay, thank you so much, we will let you know in a week". The candidate thinks he did a good job. But the duration of the interview was very unexpected. A: I guess one takeaway is for the committee to state at the outset how long the interview duration will be if it wasn't clear in the scheduling process. A1: It was clear. They said it was going to last 30 minutes. They said that by email. Anyways. Who knows? A4: Three years ago, my Skype interview lasted 8 minutes, and I got the job! It felt more like a conversation among colleagues than an interview.

General Discussion, Questions, and Inquiries

 * If you are one of those people who gets all of their documents together before start the actual application to a position, please give this some thought—and reply widely. I read the announcement top-to-bottom, analyzed the Department, researched the faculty, and took a long look to their course offerings. After that I devoted two days to prepare my documents and have them all tailored to the needs of the position. At this point I thought I was ready and started the application through the university system—you know, standard procedure. Here is the catch: nowhere in the announcement was stated if the university would be willing to sponsor a visa, but I followed my previous experiences in the market and kept on working on my application, as the institutions that do not offer visa sponsorhip are usually very clear about it in the announcement itself. However, when I started entering my information in the system, I answered "yes" to the question "Are you presently authorized to work in the U.S?" expecting the next usual question, "Would you now or in the future need visa sponsorship to continue working legally in the U.S?"... this question never came. This made me think that I had basically wasted my time in this application because, to some degree, it shows unwillingness from the university to do sponsor a visa. Any thoughts on this? A1. If they want you, they will sponsor you. This is just a bureaucratic thing. I'd continue with the application process if I were you. There is often a huge disconnect between the HR departments who set up the online system and the hiring departments.
 * How long after the MLA do departments normally notify candidates of campus visits? I asked the search committees, and all said within 2 weeks, but it seems that might be a standard response that they don't all abide by. Thanks!
 * A few days after interviewing via Skype with Appalachian State, THEY CALLED MY DEPARTMENT CHAIR to get a recommendation from her! They outted me to my department!!!!!!!!!! Of course I didn't tell them I was looking for another job, and she was not one of the references I submitted. They went online, checked who my department chair was and contacted her! Not cool!!!!! My chair was VERY surprised by their call. WTF!? A1: God, that's horrible! This is my nightmare scenario. I'm so sorry it happened to you! I hope they at least make an offer after all this. Seacrh committees are often places where the most intense jerkiness comes out. A2: That is horrible... but they might come and look at this wiki and they might see what you have said here and have second thoughts about you... in the future maybe anonymize yourself/the school a little? A3: That's horrible. In response to A2 - I don't disagree but your comment makes me wonder, how many people know about this wiki? I ask because the amount of people who respond saying they have interviews is far lower than universities actually interview. A2: I am sure that many more people look at this page than actually post. I have even heard older members of search committees talk about "those wikis"... so I am convinced that some do read this. A4: You know what, OP, thank you for posting this with as much detail as you did. What Appalachian State did was entirely uncalled for. It’s certainly unprofessional —if not altogether unethical— to contact unlisted references, especially in this profession in which we have an unspoken understanding that people often apply to other jobs without letting their current employer know. It’s our right to pursue new and better opportunities without being “outed.” If someone from there does read this and it makes them have second thoughts about you, so be it. I feel like such an unprofessional measure is a red flag for all of us. It sounds symptomatic of either an uninformed or overly-controlling department, either way one that would best be avoided. I encourage anyone reading this to also post their nightmare scenarios —mentioning universities and all— for the rest of us to know about. I have always disagreed with the asinine secrecy that seems to define this entire profession and at least tools like this wiki help us not to be so in the dark all the time. Like I said before, thank you. A5: Fwiw, I am at this university and we know the (university-wide) policy of calling non-indicated references is weird, so we always ask permission to do so. A couple of times, a candidate has withdrawn the application after we indicated that this was university policy. But I sincerely doubt that this was not communicated to the candidate; it's something we are trained to make clear in our procedures.
 * How long after an in-person interview should I expect some kind of response? I had a local interview at a community college for a full time position but haven't heard back (it's been a week). A1: It usually will take longer than a week for sure. And with the Holidays coming up, you may not find out until classes are back in session. It also depends on how many other people were interviewed for the position
 * At this point, if you haven't been invited to an MLA interview, is it fair to assume you won't be? Trying to finally make up my mind about whether to go. A1: If you don't have the funding (personally or from a grant), I wouldn't advise going just to go. I don't think it's out of the realm of possibilities, but most institutions are moving to Skype. Compare previous wiki years and you'll see this year is VERY low in MLA interview invitations. If you have friends or a reason to attend the conference, you might find it worth it,, but it's not one that has a very colleagial feel when you're on the market, in my opinion. Also, it's January in Chicago. The last two years have been chaos for interviews due to weather. A2. It's not fair to assume you won't be. I was called for an interview the 22nd of December two years ago. But if you're in a tough financial state, I wouldn't suggest buying a ticket just in case unless it's refundable! I was fortunate to have already been called for a different interview so was already going anyway.
 * Why do some universities never email you back? A1: It is extremely rude and drives me CRAZY. Complete lack of respect in my opinion. A2. I find it odd how academics consider this rude. In most businesses, you never get a response when you submit a job application unless they want to talk to you. Despite how much it hurts when you're on the market and going insane from the silence, they really don't owe us any response when they're getting over 200 applications for most jobs. HR probably forbids it anyway. A1: I respectfully disagree. Many high ranking universities and colleges at least send out a generic rejection letter. It does not take hardly any time to write one of those and send it out to everyone. Academia is much different from the business world and the applications we are asked to turn in consist of a lot more material and time than the usual busniess application for a job.
 * Can schools just make an offer "verbally" over the phone instead of in writing? How do you all feel about that? Doesn't it sound sketchy? A1. Ask to get the offer in writing. If it is a serious offer you are expected to receive it in writing or even an actual contract. Do not hesitate to ask for this. Be pleasant yet firm. A: In my experience, my NTT offer was verbal and they would not put anything in writing until I agreed, though I could ask questions. I did feel very vulnerable. It was similar in my TT negotiation. The offer was made, then I was asked to think about questions, which were discussed verbally. In both cases, I then wrote an email thanking the person and reiterated my questions. In both cases, they came back with verbal responses, nothing in writing until I verbally agreed. I think this happens because it allows for flexibility in the process, but at the expense of transparency and parity. Outside of academia, offers that come with room to negotiate are also often first verbal for negotiations as well, so it's not just our field. A/OP: Thanks! I did ask to see the offer in writing and they refused! They said the verbal offer will be followed by a formal in writing once I accept the verbal one. The formal offer would be a draft of the contract, than I would then have the chance to either decline or accept.
 * Would you accept a TT position at a private institution who offered a low salary and a teaching load of 4-4? Thanks! A1: Depends on what the alternative is. If I had a VAP offer at a great place, I would reject the 4-4 TT. If the only alternative were adjuncting or a post-doc, I'd accept the TT. A2: If I had no other options, yes, but with the plan to get as much research and writing done as possible during the summer prior to starting position. I would also be ready to get back on the market ASAP. It is very difficult to successfully jump from a TT position with a 4-4 teaching load into a 3-3 or 2-2, because the longer you're there the harder it is to keep up with research. A3: I agree with A1. There may be other factors to keep in mind as well. Is the 4-4 in a location you'd like to live on the long term? Are you ok with a teaching-focused job? While, yes, it would be difficult to maintain the necessary research agenda to jump from a 4-4 to the R1, if you have a strong record of teaching and service it wouldn't be unthinkable to make a more lateral move to a 3-4 or 3-3, especially if you already have a pub or two going in. In conclusion, yes, taking this job may pigeonhole you into a teaching-focused career, but you may be ok with that, especially if it allows you to live in a location that is desirable to you. That being said, if the place seems miserable to you and you feel you have other (realistic) options, I'd say it is ok to pass it up.
 * At last, was the heritage position officially announced at U of FL?
 * I'm curious to hear attitudes toward wording such as "Preference will be given to candidates who specialize in..." in job posts. Does that mean you really should only apply if your specialties align? Or is it still worth a shot if they don'? A1: I think committees often indicate preferred specializations because not all of the members agree on what they want in the ideal candidate; that said, it could be a good sign of what they're looking for, but I wouldn't take it as being set in stone. Might be worth it to still apply, especially if the application isn't too complicated. A2: I agree with A1. I once applied for a job in LatAm Colonial even though I'm Gen '27, which is nowhere close. It was a great job, at a great school. I was offered the position). Later, I was on a search committee (at a different school) where we stated a preference for a specialist in Chicano studies but ended up hiring a fantastic medievalist. A3. Just apply. I have been on three searches now, and the "preferences" was to pacify a senior faculty member. Final hires had little to do with those prerferences. Sometimes it's for real, but you have no way of knowing based on the ad.
 * Has anyone come across a request like this: "In this application, you will be asked for two different types of references: Confidential Letters of Recommendation References and Professional References"? Did you put the same people? A1: I normally just repeat these as my letter writers because my impression it's normally due to a wonky HR site. Hope that helps!
 * Anyone have any advice on a teaching demonstration that is "face-to-face and online"? It sounds like a single demonstration that includes both modalities, but I am not sure how to acheive that... A1: They might refer to a hybrid classroom. You could teach face-to-face and have some remote students through Webex, Blackboard Collaborate or other type of virtual classroom software, and have them interact with the on-campus students via webcam, or through an online forum. A2: It also doesn't hurt to ask the committee what the "online" component consists of, so that you can best prepare yourself.
 * Help a newbie out... what's the best way to look for tenure-track jobs at community colleges? A1: I've found that HigherEdJobs .com searches yield many more positions, particularly local ones that aren't advertised on larger venues like the MLA or Chronicle.
 * Anyone have insight on what this kind of statement should include: "A statement that details your plans for professional growth beyond the campus." Looking for advice before emailing head of search committee. Thanks! A: That's new. Study the dept. website and institution mission. Chances are, when they ask for statements beyond teaching and research, they are tied into broader visions. Beyond that, it might be asking how about service to the profession/disseminating your scholarship/working with experiential learning/community relationships.
 * Last spring (2017), I was one of the finalists for the VAP Peninsular lit position at North Central College. During the interview with the Dept. Chair he said that they are planning to keep the VAP for the TT position that they were hoping to open in 2 years (it happened, indeed). Back then they hired an adjunct, a lady from Spain who had been there since 2007. I am 100% sure that the job will go to her again. You are, of course, free to apply.
 * Anyone knows what is happening at West Virginia and why they are hiring? I thought they already had someone in charge of Spanish LPD... Perhaps because it's in West Virginia. I know that's shady to say, but I've watched these wikis enough to know that some departments are great depts but in places that may not provide the type of community that people are looking for and hence the depts have higher turn-over. I don't know the specifics of this position, but I've seen that more generally over the years.  A2: They just got a new dept chair this year who is a linguist, so they may have gotten some more money.
 * Do you guys think is it better, a full-time lecturer position in a top-ten public college in a major city or a TT in a community college in the middle of nowhere? Thanks! A1: That's up to what kind of life you want; but if you're thinking of taking the lectureship as a stepping stone to apply to TT jobs later then i'd recommend just taking the TT now at the community college, if you're willing to live in that location. Market's awful and not getting better any time soon, don't pass up opportunities for stability. A2: To agree with A1, it depends on what you want. I suggest you think about how important location and teaching load are to you. I also recommend looking into the stability of the individual institutions and their language programs.
 * Is anyone else just dying to see the MLA job list go live? Why on earth is it taking so long? They're probably doing it on purpose to make us job seekers suffer. A: (distant polyglottal cackling) A2: There were already more jobs on here than in the opening list this year ... let's hope more jobs show up soonish


 * Pacific Lutheran University wants you to work for them, but ONLY if you are a US citizen or permanent resident...
 * Does anyone know anything about the Columbia U job? It is such a wide call for applications. Do you know what they are looking for? A: Others may know more, but Columbia has posted a job ad for the last several years looking for a Latin Americanist. They have interviewed candidates, but the rumor on the wiki has always been they don't really know what they want (stated in other words on past forums). Lots of ads are getting more and more generic, so apply, but my advice would be not to get too attached to any ad that is a wide call. A: Thanks so much for your answer. I had no idea. So they basically make searches, interview people, and then don't hire? Mmmhhh. Who knows what people want, really. A3: they have also had people giving job talks last year. The thing is that nothing never seems to meet their high expectations and they leave the position vacant. They also have ridiculous requirenments for tenure (one book published, another one in press, 5 articles unrelated to your first monograph). So even if they hire you, it's freaking difficult to get tenure.
