 * It's good to know this Maritime Academy supports the war on drugs.
 * SEARCH UPDATE 11/10/16: Search Cancelled 
 * Question on the search cancellation: Is this based on the listing's diappearance from the HR website? Despite it being gone, I emailed my materials to HR anyway last week. The next day, they sent me a more detailed MMA application to fill out and had me resend my materials (this was a person, not an automated response). Anyone have more specific info on what happened?
 * According to update at CreativeWriting 2016, the search is NOT in fact cancelled (11/12)


 * From CreativeWriting 2016: 11/19/15:  they have decided "not to fill the position at this time" -- Elizabeth C. Benway, Director, HR.
 * I never expected this job to become such an emotional rollercoaster. I'd assume the maritimers would have some semblance of discipline rather than flipflopping every other week. Good riddance.
 * Good (?) to know it's not just me. After a phone interview in October, I was contacted for a campus visit in November. Two days later came the alleged search cancellation, at which point I was told I'd still be a candidate if the search resumed soon. But in early December, the above-quoted Ms. Benway sent a letter from informing me that my candidacy was no longer being pursued; that "the screening committee has decided to proceed with other candidates." (Which doesn't sound at all like they'd decided "not to fill the position.") I didn't receive the letter until January (winter break travel). When I sought confirmation by email (because it seemed so odd), I was told that, indeed, MMA was "in the process of extending an offer of employment to another person." Aren't there rules about this sort of thing, i.e. dishonest and/or otherwise unethical treatment of candidates?

In addition to its mission of excellence in undergraduate teaching, JMC is noted for its rigorous academic standards and attention to the analytical, writing and speaking skills of its students. JMC also has close working relationships with MSU's area studies centers and its many international teaching and research centers. The faculty currently teaching in the HCW program hold Ph.D.s in English, history, American studies, and government. They offer a variety of first year seminars that incorporate readings from the humanities and social sciences to explore topics of broad relevance to public affairs.

The teaching load is 2-2/3-2 in a semester system, meaning that faculty alternate between a 2-2 and a 3-2 annual load. This load includes one upper-level course in one of the college's four majors: Comparative Cultures and Politics; International Relations; Political Theory and Constitutional Democracy; Social Relations and Policy. The remaining courses will be first-year seminars, which enroll a maximum of 20 students each. Review of applications will begin November 1, 2015 and will continue until the position is filled.

Applicants should provide evidence of sustained critical and pedagogical engagement with literature in relation to environmental and ecological studies, with Ph.D. in English or a related field in hand by August 25, 2016.

The candidate appointed to this position will teach two courses per semester, with courses shared and, where feasible, cross-listed between English and the Program in Environmental Thought and Practice.
