Binghamton University (SUNY) - TT Asst. Prof. focus on 19th Century British Lit.
Position: Tenure-track Assistant Professor of English with a transdisciplinary focus on 19th-century British literature in relation to sustainable communities.

Binghamton University seeks applicants whose work on 19th-century British literature crosses disciplines and develops an approach compatible with a major campus initiative in Sustainable Communities, one of five Transdisciplinary Areas of Excellence (TAEs); that Binghamton University has identified for growth under its SUNY2020 plan.

Candidates should be prepared to teach 19th-century British literature from transdisciplinary and transnational perspectives and to engage in dialogue with faculty from other disciplines about sustainable communities. The position includes graduate teaching at a research-intensive public university with a diverse student body.

Qualifications:
 * 1. Completed Ph.D. by time of appointment in August, 2014.
 * 2. Dissertation with a transdisciplinary approach to 19th-century British literature and a focus clearly related to sustainable communities.

NOTES:
 * Any thoughts on how imporant religious affiliation/commitment fits into the University's culture?
 * I am a 19th century specialist, but this is one job I won't be applying for. http://chronicle.com/article/An-Adjuncts-Death-Becomes-a/141709/
 * Thank you for sharing this article and your own relationship to this posting. I myself am a Ph.D. working off the tenure-track but will be applying to this job.
 * To the responder above: to each their own, but your (our) willingness to apply for a job at an institution that treats its adjuncts this way only perpetuates and legitimizes that instituion's actions. Will you feel just as unphased working for a corporation that takes advantage of children workers? As academics, we we've been litarally brain-washed to believe we should do everything for a job, any job. It's a pity that so many of us have lost their moral compass in the process. (And we call ourselves humanists.) (x2)
 * As the author of the article notes, the Duquesne story is just one of many that go untold at universities around the country. I hope that if adjunct rights matter to you, you'll investigate the way they're treated (are they allowed to unionize? how much are they paid? do they get health benefits?) at all the universities you're applying to.
 * I would second the comment immediately above, and I would add that simply avoiding this job might not be the best way to prevent future iterations of the tragedy that was just reported at Duquesne. If we faculty want better treatment for adjuncts or want to push reforms through that will move adjuncts to the tenure track, then we need to become chairs, administrators, etc., or have a stronger say in who becomes chairs, administrators, etc. Whoever gets this job, I hope s/he considers preparing for an administrative role that would allow her/him to prevent the mistreatment of adjuncts that occurs at so many institutions. Von innen aufmischen.
 * I concur with the above comment. Boycotting Duquesne as if it were the only institution of higher learning exploiting non-TT faculty is shortsighted and a bit naive. That article merely brings attention to a widespread, national problem that's been going on for some time. The best way to address the problem, it seems to me, is for those who are already inside the system to fight exploitative hiring practices.
 * I'm the OP that shared the article. I am not naive nor am I shortsighted, nor do I think that this only happens here. I am appalled at the way adjuncts are treated at many institutions in this country, and I refuse to work at an institution that mistreats them. If a lower administrator such as a department head or chair has the power to hire adjuncts and give them a decent load, then great. But most of those decisions come down from the College President or Provost, or the Board of Regents (I mean the decision that you cannot offer an adjunct more than 2 classes a semester; that they are paid by the class rather than a salary; that they are not eligible for benefits; that they are unable to unionize; that they often don't have offices or access to departmental services). Those strictures usually come from higher up in the administration, as a policy to save expenses. And who is really going to stand up for the adjuncts? Assistant professors won't rock the boat because they are up for tenure. In my observation, tenured professors do not either, because they don't want to cross the Chair; the chair doesn't want to cross the Dean; the Dean doesn't want to cross the Provost. Once you become one of the "in" group, it is much harder to really act on the behalf of the outgroup because your interests are divided. I'm not saying it's impossible, but in my experience it doesn't happen much. And I observe that tenured faculty often treat non-tenure-track faculty as second-class citizens. So I DO research the institutions I apply to. For every department I think about applying to, I look at the list of faculty and see how many adjuncts the department employs. If there are more than two or three (depending upon the size of the department), that is a red flag for me. I try to find out why so many adjuncts. I understand that one or two are probably necessary to fill overflow classes or fill in for a sabbatical leave; and there are people who only want to teach 1 or 2 classes to supplement their retirement, for example. But if the college fills most of their teaching load with adjuncts, and refuses to let them unionize---I won't apply. And I'm especially offended that this is a Jesuit institution. I identify as Christian, and it appalls me that a so-called Christian institution operates this way.  BTW Dusquesne English department has 25 full-time faculty and 30 adjuncts, and 23 T.A.s http://www.duq.edu/academics/schools/liberal-arts/departments/english/faculty-and-staff
 * Let's all agree to disagree and end this discussion here. This is a forum for job news, not debates about the structure of higher ed. I'm tired of my feed reader pinging multiple times a day just for this conversation.
 * This is not a personal service for your convenience alone. If you have decided to have your feed reader ping, that's your decision. The discussion above is relevant even if it will not be resolved in any sense. It is important for those who are trying to make changes within their departments (hopefully even at Duquesne) to see that there is broad agreement that the state of adjunct labor is out of line with the values higher ed purports.
 * Also, if anyone at Duquesne is trying to make a case for change, it would be useful to point out to the Provost, President et al, that the people they'd like to hire (e.g. those with a religious commitment to social justice) might be dissuaded by their labor practices. This wiki would provide some evidence for that argument. (x2)
 * In other words, let's maintain the status quo. I would just like to respond to the OP that the reason some departments don't hire adjuncts is because people in that department have made a conscious decision not to and constantly fight pressure from administrators to change that decision. So, the people already inside the system are integral to making sure a department behaves ethically.
 * To make things worse, this is not a real position. It was designed for one of their adjuncts whose partner is a tenure-tracked faculty.
 * Maybe worse for the rest of us, but if what you say is true then it appears that the department is attempting to offer an adjunct an opportunity to move to the tenure track. I can't hate that.
 * I can't help but point out the irony of stating that promoting an adjunct to a tenure-track position is making things worse than they already are with this system that exploits adjuncts. While the farce of doing national searches when there is an inside hire does have its frustrations (for everyone involved), doing inside hires and spousal hires are not inherently a bad thing. In this market, where many very qualified PhDs languish in non-TT jobs, systems that promote and protect these qualified people are doing the right thing. To deny the adjunct the opportunity at a TT job is to keep him/her in an exploited position and just create turnover and instability in the department. Promoting an adjunct is precisely the right thing to do to ease exploitation of adjunct labor.
 * OP here: If they are hiring an adjunct, great!!  Look, I'm sorry if I hijacked the thread - I really didn't expect it to provoke such a discussion. I posted this mainly because I am really indignant over this particular situation. This situation seemed particularly eggregious to me because Duquesne has a large endowment and all the assets of the Catholic Church to draw from, so there is no reason why they should have to rely so much on adjuncts. I do know that church culture can sometimes use the excuse that teachers should be working from a sense of "calling" and as a "ministry," as an excuse to pay them badly and treat them badly. I am not judging anyone that wants to apply for the job, and of course everyone must do as they think best: after working for amost a decade for a degree far be it from me to tell anyone what they should and shouldn't do. When all of us started grad school the employment situation was not nearly as dire as it is now (or at least we had hope that it wasn't). The situation of higher education is a bigger problem than one job. But I would like to avoid contributing to the problem if possible, and I fear that once I got into a tenure-track position I might compromise my values to keep my job, especially if I really liked the job. I'm not sure that I could be strong enough to work for change from the inside if there was a lot of opposition. Nor do I really want to go into administration: I went into the field because I like teaching and research. So, for me, I prefer to avoid the conflict of interest as much as possible, as well as even the appearance that I tacitly accept the exploitation of adjuncts. I'm willing to accept the reduced job prospects that go with my stance; that is my way of fighting the situation and speaking out.   BTW, CNN had an article about adjuncts in higher ed today: http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/24/opinion/rhoades-adjunct-faculty/index.html
 * Whoever wrote that this "was designed for one of their adjuncts whose partner is a tenure-tracked faculty" is misinformed. Simply untrue.
 * The university I adjunct at is religious and private, like this one, and super wealthy (given the state of the campus buildings and the cost for undergrads, etc.) - 17 full time faculty in English, 26 adjunct.
 * Any advice on whether to send more materials than they ask for? I've heard that you should always send a diss abstract and teaching philosophy no matter what, but as a first-timer on the market, I'm nervous about sending more than they've said they want.
 * It is conventional to send the diss abstract without invitation, but I won't send a teaching phil. unless it is in someway indicated (either because it is specificed or because some sort of teaching materials are specified).
 * I'd be hesitant about saying "its conventional" to send the dissertation abstract. On the search committee I was on we didn't ask for any and no one sent any in. It really depends on the school probably. But I definitely would not send the teaching phil. unless asked. Its so hard to know about what to do at which school. Some places want exactly what they ask for. It probably can't hurt to send the dissertation abstract.

 * At a conference, I recently spoke with a grad student in the program, who said that many of the faculty here are getting ready to retire; they hired a person last year and the year before and expect to hire about 5 more over the next five years or so. So the department is turning over. I don't know how accurate this information is; but for what it's worth.

NOTES:


 * I received an invitation from the chair to apply for this job yesterday (9/26)--I'm inclined not to apply, but I do wonder how many others out there are also getting invited?
 * Sending letters to prominent scholars asking them to apply for a vacant position isn't that unusual. My graduate department did this when it had a Romanticism search a few years back. In the end, only one of the dozen or so established scholars they invited ended up as a finalist, though, so it didn't really determine anything.


 * FYI--the interfolio link asks for a cover letter, cv, research statement that includes teaching interests, and "additional documents (optional)."


 * Is anyone else somewhat confused by this? A "research statement that includes teaching interests" basically sounds like what my cover letter is.

NOTES:

I'm a bit confused by the "9-month, tenure-track" phrasing for this post. Is this permanent?

yes, this comes up every year. it just means your annual contract is 9 months rather than 12. it just means you aren't paid over the summers. standard practice at a lot of universities. By "transcript" do they mean official or will a non-official one do?
 * Just to clarify this (which is also the case where I teach), your salary is assumed to be based on the 9 months of the school year (hence the "9-month" language), but you can opt to stretch that amount over 12 monthly paychecks so that you don't go without pay during the summer months.

Mount St. Mary’s University - TT Assistant Professor of English - 19th and 20th Century British Lit.
The Department of English at Mount St. Mary’s University seeks an outstanding teacher-scholar for the position of Assistant Professor (tenure-track) beginning August 2014. The ideal candidate will demonstrate a strong commitment to teaching and research in 19th and 20th Century British Literature. The department seeks a colleague who will be able to contribute to the English major and to the Veritas Program, the university’s common liberal arts curriculum that includes interdisciplinary courses in Western Civilization. Courses could include Imagination and Invention, Modernity, Veritas Symposium, and others that participate in the Global Encounters program.

Ph.D. is expected; ABD candidates will also be considered with a completion date no later than 1 August 2014.

Mount St. Mary’s University, the second oldest Catholic university in America, seeks faculty members eager to engage and support our Catholic identity. Application materials should discuss how you might contribute to the University’s Catholic liberal arts mission, how your work engages with the Catholic intellectual tradition, or how your own faith tradition informs your vocation as teacher and scholar.

Please send letter, philosophy of teaching, vita, and three letters of recommendation to [mailto:resume@msmary.edu resume@msmary.edu] or to the following address: Joshua Hochschild, Dean, College of Liberal Arts, English Search, Mount St. Mary’s University, 16300 Old Emmitsburg Road, Emmitsburg, Maryland 21727.

NOTES:
 * Do people find it difficult (or impossible) to apply to jobs like this if you don't have faith? I'm tolerant of religious belief but don't share in it, and I sort of feel like a fraud applying for this job... But then, for all I know there are lots of faculty there who feel the same way.
 * This application-- all things considered-- is neutral. It doesn't ask for a statement of faith as some previous 19thC jobs in the past have done, and it doesn't ask for the letter to speak to the issue as other job ads have done. But the larger point about issues of fit if and when it comes to MLA interviews and campus interviews is well taken.

https://apply.interfolio.com/22616

As part of a set of three hires, the Department of English at Texas A&M University seeks to fill a tenure-track position at the advanced assistant professor level for the fall of 2014 in Transatlantic Nineteenth-Century Studies with expertise in gender and sexuality studies. A Ph.D. in English or a related field is required, as are compiled strong records of teaching and publication beyond graduate school. Successful candidates will have active research agendas foregrounding the transatlantic exchange of books, ideas, cultures, and/or bodies during the long nineteenth century (1776-1918) and demonstrated interest in gender and sexuality issues. Job responsibilities include teaching (the normal load is 2/2 and includes undergraduate and graduate courses), conducting and publishing scholarly research, and undertaking appropriate academic service.

Please upload using the MLA / Interfolio ByCommittee platform a letter of application, CV, three letters of reference, and a writing sample of no more than 30 pages. To ensure full consideration for MLA interviews, applications should be uploaded by November 4, 2013. Inquiries about the position may be sent to Larry J. Reynolds, Search Committee Chair, at LJR@TAMU.edu. Interviews will take place at the MLA convention. Members of underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply.

NOTES:
 * Has anyone ever seen this requirement "publication beyond graduate school"? Both Texas A&M jobs list the same requirement....
 * Just because it is an advanced assistant?
 * It's because of the rank. At advanced asst. rank, they'd want to hire someone who has shown the ability to publish enough to get tenure. If you've been an assistant professor for more than a year or two without publishing, you're not really marketable anywhere. Potential schools want to know that any person they hire as this rank is well on his/her way to tenure. And at a university like this, that usually means a book well in the works if not already out.
 * I have been on search committees for full professors and we have gotten tons of applications from graduate students. I suppose its because we specified in the job ad that a PhD was required (wording that HR insists upon). I guess many assumed that, if that was the only stated requirement, it might be possible to get the job (or, perhaps, that the SC would see how stellar the candidate was and propose a junior hire instead). I think this is a really smart way to be clear about the minimal expectations for a job at this rank.
