MLA interview scheduled: N/A MLA interview scheduled: N/A MLA interview scheduled: Interview scheduled at MLA with colleague in dept (12/14) MLA interview scheduled: N/A MLA interview scheduled: N/A ....any news at all on this one? Well, although they made a mention of the MLA in the job desc, the final deadline isn't until 01/15... MLA interview scheduled: interview scheduled by email 12/11 MLA interview scheduled: By phone 12/08 MLA interview scheduled: N/A -- Got a rejection letter today (snailmail) (12/12).

 * Columbia University (TT) Professor or Associate Professor with tenure in Modern Italian Studies.
 * Columbia University - Lecturer
 * DePaul University (TT Asst. Prof.) Open specialization.
 * Georgetown University (TT) Dante specialist.
 * Elon University (TT) Open specialization.

Still have not heard from them either way, i.e., no contact or rejection letter. Only the email that acknowledged receipt of app., back in Nov. Anyone else in this situation? 1/08/10 - yes! Strange, isn't it? x3 MLA interview scheduled: N/A MLA interview scheduled: By phone (12/14) MLA interview scheduled: N/A Friend had a phone interview before the MLA convention. MLA interview scheduled: N/A MLA interview scheduled: N/A MLA interview scheduled: N/A MLA interview scheduled: 12/4 (received phone call -- request for interview) Did you receive a telephone call or an email? And would you be prepared to state your status? (12/5) I am not the one who has the scheduled interview, but the question about someone's status not only is inappropriate, it's illegal, at every stage of the hiring process. Whoever typed that in, ought to know better his/her rights before entering the market (it's not that those who are offering the jobs are allowed to do to you whatever come to their mind, in case you are wondering...). My understanding of the question asked above was that "status" referred to professional status, i.e.: ABD, VAP, in a TT position, etc. (12/6) Even if that's the case, if you are not prepared to talk about this kind of "status," what else are you NOT ready to talk about? Anyway, good luck everyone. (12/7) [12/7] I'm confused--did the first person get a call for an interview, or just ask if anyone had gotten a call/e-mail? Sorry if I'm being dense... --- 12/14 - received a rejection letter via snail mail (x4) MLA interview scheduled: N/A MLA interview scheduled: N/A MLA interview scheduled: N/A any news about this job search? I've heard nothing -- twiddling the thumbs. ** I haven't heard anything either. MLA interview scheduled: interview at MLA scheduled 12/4
 * James Madison University (Where is this job listed? I can't find it on the MLA Joblist or on JMU employment page.)
 * Lehman College, CUNY (no idea what they are offering...)
 * SUNY Buffalo (Asst. Prof.) Open specialization.
 * SUNY Stony Brook. Any news on this job? I can't find it any more but I don't think the deadline's passed. This is the ad: I bet SB is the 2010 Wake Forest, however, if you know what I mean... "The State University at New York at Stony Brook invites applications for a new, tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level in Italian language, literature and culture. Specialization in the XIX Century, with strong teaching or publishing record in cultural history, travel literature and Italian American culture. Expertise in Italian and Italian American cinema welcome; Ph.D. is required. The successful candidate will teach undergraduate and graduate courses in Italian and in English." From what I hear, there is an inside candidate who was promised position as assistant prof if a tenure-track job opened up there. I received a letter stating that all applicants chosen for interviews would hear by Nov. 15. -- Yes, there is an internal candidate. I wouldn't bother applying to this job. It seems like this is the case almost everywhere, though.
