Word on the street
Q: Any news on Stony Brook?

Q: Has anyone heard anything about the Carleton position? I had a zoom interview more than two weeks ago and I haven't heard back. I'm guessing they have moved on, but I was just curious if anyone knew something.

Q: Any info on the Indiana U position in Modern Iberian?

Q: Any news from UF after the zoom interviews? Or did they mention to anyone that they should expect to hear back by a certain date? R1: Nope. They didn't mention it to me and I haven't heard anything.

Q: Any news on Boston University? Medieval / Early Modern position. R: They already had the campus visits last week of November (very reliable)

Q: Any news on  SIU after the Skype interviews? R1: Nothing here. But they said there would likely be no news from them for a number of weeks.

Q: Any news on UC Davis? R1: I haven't heard anything.

I just saw a position advertised at Highlands in Las Vegas NM. Asking for a PhD in Spanish Linguistics which is (surprise!) what the current visiting professor is--an ABD actually. I am wondering if it is for real. R1: What is the point of a post like this? Inside candidates exist. They are like you and me, working hard to get a tenure-track position. Universities are required to have searches. I don't see how your post contributes anything but bitterness. R2: I didn't get any bitterness from the poster's question; they probably just wanted to know whether or not it was worth investing time in applying for that job. To answer the question: unless someone can reliably confirm whether or not there is an inside candidate, there's really no way of knowing, and perhaps it's best to just take a chance and apply. R3: These kinds of questions reflect, in my opinion, a lack of guidance from advisors about what a search looks like and what to expect as an applicant/candidate. There are many reasons an institution has a VAP who holds the qualifications for which a department runs a TT search. For example, they had a departure but still needed to teach classes already on the schedule. Hence, hire a visiting  is a simple solution until they can run a search. The loss of a TT line or addition is a big deal, often with budgetary implications, so a VAP is much easier to get for a short term or as a way to convince leadership of a TT need. The search may also have a different specialty or training area in mind, now that they can re-hire. Those are things you won't know unless you apply and when you interview. I would encourage anyone worried about internal candidates to stop. They do exist, but if you don't apply, you cannot even be considered, and at the very least, won't gain the needed experience to make it through this tight market, i.e., from crafting competitve documents to interviewing strategies. R4: VAPs as inside candidates seem to be 50/50. Last year I did a campus visit to a place with a VAP and that person(the VAP) was not hired as the TT Asst Prof. Then at another place, the VAP did get the job. It's worth it to apply because your cover letter might turn the heads of the committee and that's all you need. When I did my telephone interview with the committee, they specifically cited some points I made in my cover letter as being the reason they wanted to talk to me. R5: I think the bitterness that some saw in the original post comes from the soul-killing process of having to solicit recommendation letters over and over, tweak and twist the CV so it fits whatever they are asking for, and the uncertainty that comes after not even getting an interview though you think you have a fair chance. Paz y suerte. R6: I agree with R4. VAPs are sometimes inside candidates and sometimes not. I've seen it go both ways. I've also known a VAP who was assumed to be an inside candidate who didn't even apply to the TT line, because the place was so miserable. It's stressful to have to tweak docs endlessly, so I get the concern, but it would also be sad to lose out on a job for not trying. As far as letters of recommendation go, if your writers are not willing to write letters year after year, they are not doing their job. It's a lousy market. You taught for low wages for years to subsidize a broken system. The LEAST a tenured faculty member who got prestige points for "training you" can do is write letters while you try to get a job.

Q: Is there anyone worried for not having received any interviews yet? Is it common? Should I be worried about it? R1: I didn't get any interviews yet. R2: It's true that most candidates have already been contacted for research-focused TT positions. However, positions will be posted and interviews scheduled after the holidays for teaching-focused positions, visiting positions, renewable term contracts, etc. I was interviewed in early April for the teaching-focused TT position I currently hold.

Q: Any news on Florida Atlantic University?

Q: It's not listed on this wiki, but did anyone else apply for the Mexicanist position at Cal State Channel Islands? The application was due in early October, and on the application website it says my app is still "under review." Just wondering if anyone has heard anything about that position. Thank you. R1: I haven't heard anything yet.

Q: Any news on UTSA campus visits? R1: I had a Zoom interview for that one and the search will have on campus visits in December. But I have not heard anything back one way or the other. OP: Same here. They probably already extended invitations given the timeline. Good luck!

Q: Any news on Northwestern (colonial)? A1: Nothing here since the request for a writing sample. Someone listed a Skype interview above, but that may have been for the peninsular position.

Q: Any news from Jacksonville University, after the additonal materials requested? R1: No news since then.

Q: Any news from Haverford College?

Q: Any news from the College of Idaho?

Q: Any news from the full time Spanish instructor position at Suffolk University? Deadline was 11/22...It's probably too soon I guess...

Q: Someone posted that New Mexico State University had notified them they had not been selected for an interview. Has anyone received an email from NMSU asking for an interview? A1: I was confused by no one posting but I know they have chosen the skype/phone interview candidates(second hand very reliable). Q2: Does this definitely mean that they contacted the skype/phone interview candidates or that they have just chosen them? A1: They have not had interviews yet but have chosen the interviewees (second hand reliable).

Q: Any news from California Lutheran University after interviews? R1: I haven't heard back yet. R2: Did they give you any timeline? R1: I think they said 1-2 weeks. Tomorrow will be exactly 2 weeks. You? R2: They told me 2-3 days haha. Weird R1: Let's hope we hear something after Thanksgiving. Best of luck with this and any other applications you have out there. R2: Thanks. You too!

Q: Any news from Simmons University? The deadline was 11/15...I haven't heard anything yet and the status of my application says only received. I wonder if any of you know more about it. A1: Same here.

Q: Any news from Hope College after Skype interviews last week?

Q: Inside candidate at UNC-Greensboro? A1: I'm pretty sure there is. Q: Does this mean that they won't even call for interviews? A1: It's possible they have to for protocol but they won't be very engaging, at least that's been my experience in the past with places that have someone in mind. They go through the steps they have to. Q2: A1, are you assuming that because there's a Visiting Assistant Prof, that that person is the inside candidate? A1: No.

Q: Any news on William & Mary? A: (They are on campus visit stage.) A2: They have 3 candidates who will visit campus from Dec. 1 to Dec. 15. and want to make a decision before year's end. Campus interview is pretty average: fly in one evening, campus tour next day, meeting with the dean, meeting with students (lunch), job talk in the later afternoon, followed by an interview with Hispanic Studies faculty, dinner with faculty and fly out the next day. Those who got Skype interviews but didn't get campus visit have not been notified of rejection. Q2: Is this for the Indigenous Studies or Medieval position? Thanks. A3: Medieval.

Q: There is a Wiki page for Luso-Hispanic Journals that is not being used. If you have information on how the process of submission for journals in the field went, the time of response and publication, quality of review, among other things, please, submit it to this page: https://humanitiesjournals.fandom.com/wiki/Hispanic_Studies_Journals R1: It's probably because hispanists.org already has something similar.

Q: For the U Arkansas Golden Age job, just to confirm, the deadline was Friday Nov.15 but the requests for additional materials requests were made on Monday Nov. 18? R1: Yes. R2: Same here. I got the request for writing sample on Monday, Nov. 18.

Q: Which of the Universtiy of Illinois, Chicago positions had the Skype intereview request on 11/21? R1:: Early Modern.

Q: Any ABD's getting interviews? R1: Not me, unfortunately. Still hoping. R2: Yes, I got two. R3: I'm ABD and I've been contacted for 1 interview so far. R4: I'm ABD, I have been contacted for 1 interview. R5: Yes, I got one. R6: It is still pretty early. For positions with Oct. 31/Nov.1 close dates, those committees are probably still working through applications. It can take weeks to get through the applications, propose a list, get approval for said list, get tech support for Skype interviews, compare calendars, etc. Don't get discouraged!! R7: I want to echo R6: don't be discouraged if you haven't heard anything yet. When I was ABD I didn't get my first phone call until mid-December. It's easy to check this wiki obsessively (I do it all the time), but the best advice is to try to enjoy the Thanksgiving break knowing that search committees are probably getting ready to do the same. They will resume their search in high gear the week after for sure. Best of luck to all. R8: Thank you both for being so kind, all the best as well, and I hope some ABDs report back with good news! R9: Yes, I'm ABD and have been contacted about 4 so far. Mucha suerte a todos!! It's still pretty early. R10: What an amazing community. Really encouraging thoughts. Thank you. All the best for everyone.

Q: Any news on Brandeis? R1: They have already interviewed the selected candidates (2nd hand).

Q: Any word on Dartmouth? It's not even listed here.

Q: Can anyone else confirm that Occidental has reached out to candidates for Skype/Phone interviews, as indicated that section of this Wiki? Thanks. R1: Yes, they have.

Q: Has anyone heard from Xavier University? R1: Nothing yet. R2: Just recieved an email today about a Zoom interview the second week of December. R: R1 here...Congratulations, that is fantastic. R2: Thank you! Good luck to you on everything.

'''Q. '''Has University of Pittsburgh closed their applications for Brazilianist earlier? I was pretty sure the due date was November 22nd and now it says it was Nov 15th. R1: I noticed this as well - on the description it said the 22nd but in interfolio it was listed as the 15th.

Q. Has anyone heard from Haverford? R1: I haven't heard anything yet. R2: They have contacted for Skype interviews. R3: Is R2 reliable?

Q. Any news on the UC San Diego job? R1: I have heard nothing yet. R2: Me either. Hoping to at least know something soon.

Q. How did the University of Utah requested the LORs? Did they contact directly to the recommenders? R1: I received an email explaining that they were requesting the LORs as a second round, and for the third round they would invite people to interview.

'''Q. '''Does anyone have any information on the Cal State Fullerton Golden Age position? The position closed on October 1st but the listing was just reposted today (11/12) on Higher Ed Jobs, and the closing date in the new listing is still October 1st. R1: No information, but that is strange. I haven't heard a thing from them and applied well before the Oct. 1 deadline. R2: They have already interviewed the selected candidates (second hand, reliable). R3: I had a phone interview. They told me that they would contact selected candidates last week or this week, but I haven't heard from them. I think they must have selected their candidates for the campus interview. R4: They are already going through campus visits.

'''Q. '''Has anyone heard anything from Puget Sound? R1: I received an email requesting an interview today.

'''Q. Has anyone heard anything from Connecticut College? R1''': Nothing here. R2: Just received an email today (11/21) requesting an interview. Posted above in interview section as well.

Q. Any news on Holy Cross after the Skype interview? Q2 Any news? R. Not here, but I guess they must have already sent invitations for campus visits. Any news?

Q. There is an inside candidate for the Spanish lecturer position at the University of Florida, a Spaniard of course. It's likely for another former graduate to get the second lecturer position. // R: This is not a productive attitude, it exudes xenophobic prejudices. You might find another forum to wind up all your frustrations. The job search is a difficult and staignant process for everyone. Insiders exist and have no passports, they are just insiders that hiring people want to work with in a certain enviromment. Like it or not, at least please leave nationality aside, this is an inclusive, collaborative and respectful venue. R: It's interesting to see how you try to reverse the xenophobic bias here. There is a clear evidence of preference for Spaniards in that department, which carries an implicit scorn for Latin American students. This is the actual xenophobia. It's also fun that when someone tells an obvious truth, this is because of someone's frustrations. Jobs aren't offered for anybody to get passports. If insiders exist, why then to advertise a position and play with many people who are also facing the same difficulties? Telling about a preference for a nationality in this department doesn't make anyone xenophobic, rather it's that preference itself that is xenophobic and racist in the first place, like it or not. So please, go elsewhere with that phony statement of inclusiveness, collaboration, and respect. You know that's just BS.R2: This line is getting tired. Weren't you on here last year with the same issue? Did you personally get burned down there or something? It seems like it. You do realize that most departments, even if there is a preferred inside candidate, are required to do a search by Human Resources? Sure, it's frustrating from the outside, but if it's the requirement, what do you suggest they do? And I'm also not sure why the rampage against Spaniards, because I know plenty of them are without jobs as well. The system is rigged against everyone. R4: Tergivérsalo como quieras, o manípulalo para desestimar el sentido real del comentario porque te pone el dedo en la llaga. Ese "Spaniard" solo significa que ese departamento prefiere contratar españoles, ni más ni menos. Si te ha repugnado será por otra cosa que callas o prefieres ignorar porque es incómodo. Pero puedo entender que denunciar algo repugnante no puede generar sino repugnancia. '''R5. '''I don't know if you're literature or linguistics, but in my field (linguistics), there are plenty of non-Spaniards on faculty so this whole line seems confusing. Are you only talking about lecturers? Isn't that a hard enough life without conspiracy theories?

Q: Any news on New Paltz? Q: News as in at all or have they scheduled some sort of interview? I applied and am curious too. A: Calls went out for interviews, second hand, reliable. A2: Oh good, nothing like finding a job description that matches your research perfectly and not being able to get just a skype interview.

Q: Any information about the Buffalo State translation position? Has anyone heard back about an interview? R1: It only closed on Nov 4th.

Q: Any information about the position at Boston College? Looking at the Department website, I'm wondering if it's for an inside candidate... R1: No info on that position, but apply anyway with the best materials you can put together. R2: I agree with R1, apply with the best stuff you've got, but I had the same thought with 3 VAP's there. I know of several places that didn't hire their VAP and went elsewhere so it's worth it to apply if you are interested in the position.

Q: Looks like Columbia re-opened the same search as last year (and the year before, and the year before that)--anyone know anything about what they're looking for? R1: I think we can safely say they have no idea what they want but have a lot of money for endless searches.

Free advice (especially for colleagues new to the market)
Q: Are 'Campus Interview' and 'Campus visit' the same or each category imply different situations? R1: They are the same, just different ways of expressing the experience.

Q: Does anyone have any suggestions of non-academic jobs that people with our qualifications (linguistics, literature, culture, etc.) should look for? I don't want to speak for anyone else, but I'm personally realizing that after 3 years of applying for tenure-track jobs it seems to be time to move on. R1: FBI it's always looking for spanish speakers with graduate degrees. Also, you can check on https://www.pmf.gov/ Presidential Fellow is something you may want to explore. R2: You may want to think about corporate education. I would highly recommend getting professional cover letter and resume help since we have a special case to make, but not at all following academic job letter conventions. R2: Duolingo, Rosetta Stone, Babbel, Google, and Amazon.

Q: Regarding internal candidate situations: universities are sometimes required by HR to publicly list positions even if they're going to inside candidates...I get it. I've seen this happen at universities where I've worked and places I've applied to, and I've also noticed that they were all state schools. I was curious if anyone knows about whether this tendency perhaps comes out of state regulations, or have you seen this with private institutions as well? R1: You mean list an ad and not hold interviews at all or go through the interview process and then pick the internal candidate? I'm not sure about the former as it doesn't seem as common, the latter definitely happens at private schools as well, so it's not just a state regulation thing. It could be an accredidation thing or just a reputation thing, but I don't know for sure.

Q: Is it strange that for the Simmons University peninsular position there is a question about how much we expect to be paid? I have never been asked this on an application for a TT job before. R1. I've seen that in other apps and I left it blank. Colleges use the same HR site to hire for all their positions so that kind of request/language is for a different kind of job. I'd be happy to be corrected if I'm wrong. Hope others will chime in. R2: True, but for some reason this one was a required box. R3: I am up for a dean position that is using a head hunting firm and that question was on the form. (I am an internal candidate so I had some questions.) The search firm indicated to me in a phone interview that they remove that response from the materials that they send to the search committee, but include it in a question in case salary expectations are severely out of whack--for example, a candidate wants $500,000 and the university can pay $100,000 max. I mentioned that I consulted 990 tax forms and found out what the previous Dean made and responded with a range that was similar. I said that I did not want to sell myself short. The head hunting firm interviewer seemed to agree that that was fine. My suggestion: look up salaries regionally around Simmons and consult the Chronicle salary guide and respond with something reasonable. If you happen to land the job, always ask for more. Offers are rarely rescinded on those grounds. Good luck

General Discussion, Questions, and Inquiries
List NEW information at top.

-The new revisions to this page are SO MUCH BETTER! Thank you!

- This page has far less activity than past years because the structure is difficult to use and not what most of us are looking for. Why did we change the structure from the previous wikis? Can we change it back? '''R1. I was also wondering the same. R2'''. I asked about this a while back and someone said that this format follows other wikis... I still think the other format was easier, but it might be hard to change it now that there are so many jobs here. I remember last year THIS was the place to find every job posting, and now...even the MLA has more postings than this wiki. R3: All the page needs is the title of the institution with a link to the job posting, that's the format from the previous years. I feel like we're not hearing much on responses and such like in years past. R4: I agree. Next year let's keep it back to the simple format. The low participation at the beginning of the search season has had lingering impacts, and half the jobs out there aren't listed on the wiki because it was so cumbersome to add the information.

- Q: Reapplying to a failed search for which you interviewed last year. Thoughts? R1: Do it. The worst thing that can happen is they decline to interview you. You'll never know if you don't reapply. R2: Agreed with R1. Failed searches are sometimes due to unresolvable disagreements on the committee and not with the quality of the applicants or interviewees. The committee composition may very well be different this time around. Good luck! R3: I agree with R1 & R2. I was in this situation for two jobs before, and I received offers from both places for the second searches. I know the search committees were different, but I was also a more competitive applicant the second year (more publications/teaching experience).

- Major updates to Spanish and Portuguese 2019-2020 Jobs Wiki: Above I added all of the sections we've had in previous years. With only the "Discussion" and "Job Postings" sections that were initially posted, there has been very little engagement with the Wiki so far this year.

- I suggest that we strike listings after their deadlines pass. This way, it will be easier to find those open postings. R1: This is a good idea! R2: Striking listings after the deadline would defeat the purpose - people check the wiki after applying to see if others have posted info about receiving interviews, etc. OP: We can strikethrough the listings. They are still visible but it's clear that deadlines have passed. Example.

- Wouldn't it be better if we just list the main info of each posting instead of including the entire description? (following the format from last years' wiki). R1. I agree. The current format is so hard to read through and find information fast. R2: Just click on the link next to "Contents” at the top of the page. That will give you the list of the positions with just the name of the university and basic title, and then you can click on that to jump down to the full description and updates. Sometimes having the entire description can be useful, because some postings are hard to find (if they aren't posted on the MLA list or the Chronicle), and often they are erased from those sites after the deadline. The way the page is formatted this year conforms to how almost all the other wiki job pages are formatted. R3: Thanks for the answer, R2.

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.

Required Qualifications: Ph.D. in Art History, Spanish, Latin American Studies, or related field in hand at time of application; theoretically motivated research; an established record of teaching, research, and service appropriate to rank; demonstrated interest and experience in collaborative teaming and/or transdisciplinary research; desire and ability to contribute to graduate and undergraduate programs and to educate and mentor students from a culturally diverse urban population.

For consideration as Associate Professor, candidates must have a strong record of publication, evidence of effective teaching, and substantial experience in department, university, and professional service. Tenure is contingent on Board of Regents approval.

Preferred Qualifications: Native or near-native fluency in Spanish and/or Portuguese; potential for securing external funding; experience in cross-disciplinary areas of inquiry that intersect art history, literature studies, media studies, cultural studies, linguistics, translation studies, and/or film studies. Preferred candidates will be able to successfully teach and mentor diverse, underserved students, including first-generation students, students of color and non-traditional students, and have the ability to contribute to the university’s commitment to inclusive excellence as a Hispanic Serving Institution.

Responsibilities include: teaching introductory, upper division, and graduate courses; research and service in a program that offers B.A. and M.A. degrees; maintaining an active research agenda; leadership in developing new lines of research and teaching; contributing to the university and community through service and outreach.

NOTES:

Williams College (USA:Ma) - Assistant Professor of Spanish
The Department of Romance Languages at Williams College seeks to appoint a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Spanish, beginning July 1, 2020. We are seeking passionate candidates broadly trained in Latin American cultural production, with a specific focus on Mexico, the US/Mexico borderlands, and/or Central America. (Inter)disciplinary specializations may include, but are not limited to: literature, film, media studies, visual studies, performance. Demonstrated excellence in language teaching at various levels is required, including specific training in teaching Spanish for Heritage Learners.

The teaching load is 2-2, plus a January course every other year. The college and department value teaching and research equally, and will expect the new colleague to contribute (via dynamic courses, inspiring research, and extracurricular programming) to the continued vitality of our vibrant program in Spanish and Latin American cultural production. The department is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the rich intellectual life of a campus comprising colleagues and students from widely diverse backgrounds. We welcome applications from members of groups traditionally underrepresented in academia.

Qualifications Excellent training and experience in teaching the Spanish language to heritage learners and second-language students as well as literature and culture courses in the candidate’s area of specialization are essential. Candidates must have their Ph.D. in hand by August 2020.

Application Instructions Applications are due no later than November 15, 2019 and must include a cover letter, CV, and three letters of recommendation, at least one of which addresses the candidate’s promise as a teacher. In the cover letter, we ask that candidates speak to their ability to work effectively with a student population that is broadly diverse in regard to race, ethnicity, religion, class, gender, and sexuality. All materials should be addressed to Professor Jennifer French, Department Chair, and must be submitted through Interfolio: http://apply.interfolio.com/68168

Email and paper applications will not be accepted.

The search committee plans to conduct Skype interviews with 12-15 semi-finalists in December. Candidates chosen for these interviews will be asked to submit 2 syllabi before the interview: one for a language course, and one for a literature or culture course in their field. During the 30-minute interview, candidates will be asked to discuss: their teaching of Spanish to heritage learners and second-language students; their teaching of literature and culture courses in their field that they’ve offered and hope to offer at Williams; and their research agenda. The interviews will be conducted in English and Spanish. Candidates should also be prepared to elaborate on their approaches to working with both students and colleagues from diverse backgrounds.

Campus visits will be conducted in February. Three or four candidates will be invited to campus for two-day visits that will include:

– One sample class in Spanish language, at the intermediate level (the equivalent of our RLSP 103 or RLSP 104).

– A research colloquium, for which candidates will be asked to pre-circulate a paper of no more than 30 pages for participants to read beforehand. During the colloquium, the candidate will briefly summarize and contextualize the paper, before devoting the majority of time to leading discussion. This colloquium is an opportunity for candidates both to share their scholarly research and to demonstrate how they would teach a literature or culture course in their field. The colloquium will include faculty and students in Romance Languages, and other faculty members whose interests overlap with those of the candidate.

– An interview with the college’s Committee on Appointments and Promotions (CAP), whose members will have read the candidate’s materials before the interview, and will ask substantive questions about teaching and research.

– Conversations with members of the Department and the Spanish Student Advisory Committee.

– Following the campus visits, the search committee hopes to make an offer in March 2020.
