 * U Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (accepted, second hand, reliable)
 * Emory (accepted).
 * Susquehanna University ( Latin Americanist) Q: How is this possible? Someone posted on 12/1 that she/he had a Skype interview. A: Interviews were held a while ago. I am afraid this info is correct. Congrats on the "winner". It is a nice place to work. A: I can tell there was a Skype interview three days ago on 12/11 for this position (please, don't delete the comment). A:Wow A: por si ayuda... No sé si lo de arriba es cierto, pero no es raro que a una persona se le extienda una oferta verbal y/o escrita durante la campus visit -a mí misma me pasó; y tampoco es raro ir a una campus visit y que antes de llegar ese mismo día a casa ya le hayan llamado para hacerle una oferta -también me ha pasado. No sé si será el caso de arriba, pero por si acaso... pensé que podría ayudar, quizás, a las/os más nuevas/os en esto. A: OP here. Our Ph.D. granting institution posted the congratulations, so I guess it's at least Facebook official. A. https://romancestudies.unc.edu/2017/12/greg-severyn/ (Can all this information/speculation/negative energy be moved? The wiki is pretty useless if it's mostly people sniping, rightly or wrongly.) Oh, and congratulations Professor Severyn. May Susquehanna and the profession treat you well! A: Please do NOT mention anyone by their name. A. Why not? It's shared on UNC's website, as well as social media, apparently. It's not as if ours is a private profession.  A.  Congrats to this man! Will all the haters please stop hating?  A: Nobody is hating. Don't worry! jajaj A. I heard there is a campus visit in early spring, is this true?

List NEW information at top - please post "Have you heard?" questions below, under Word on the Steet

 * University of Pittsburgh (12/21)
 * UC Riverside (12/28)
 * Cal State Sacramento (12/27) x2
 * Colby College (12/23)

 * Temple (Linguistics) (12/18)
 * Idaho State University (12/14)
 * Georgetown University (12/16)
 * Susquehanna University (12/15) x2  Q: Are they opening a second position? A: I do not think so. Just take whatever is published here cum grano salis. Most of the times what is published is true, but not always :)  A: Wow
 * New Mexico State University (12/14)
 * Missouri University of Science and Technology (12/14)
 * UC Berkeley (12/13)
 * Santa Clara University (12/13)
 * University of South Carolina (12/12) x2
 * Stanford University (12/6) A: Colonialists  A: Ah, makes sense... they have no colonialist faculty, but do have a colonialist post-doc.
 * Emory (11/21) Lit.
 * University of Nevada, Reno  (11/30). Q: Lecturer position? A: Transatlantic Spanish Colonial and Golden Age TT. 
 * George Washington University (1/26) x2 (1/24)
 * Amherst College x2 Q: Lecturer position?
 * Milwaukee School of Engineering (11/20)
 * Susquehanna University [posted ~11/10]
 * University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (11/6) Q: How could there be a campus interview already? A: The last few years, people have put the date contacted next to the information or noted it being second hand. That doesn't seem to be consistent this year, but the deadline was 10.16.17. So, they could have moved fast with initial interviews and just extened an invitation to campus. Likely the visit is in the coming weeks. Last year some schools moved fast to avoid MLA and to try and get their top picks. * It's called poaching, and the MLA recommends against it.I'm sure a candidate would be happy to get an offer before the MLA, but it's not really fair to put them in a position of having to decide long before they'll have a sense if there are other options on the table.

Q3: Can someone elaborate on what makes the department "toxic"? A1: negativity, backstabbing, disloyalty, etc., etc. I am not sayting that this happens there, I am just trying to define this concept...I hope it helps. A2: Last year, they posted a fake search. Without interviewing anybody, they offered the position to her candidate (already working there). Result: she declined the offer and leave. Candidates were contacted saying that search was cancelled. LOL!

 * UC Riverside (11/22) (Skype) x2
 * University of Nevada, Reno (11/17) (Skype) This is also a very toxic department. Be careful and stay clear. Lots of department back stabbing and tenure is hard to obtain. Q: Interesting. Does anyone have more info? Thanks. A1: I can't say anything about "tenure being hard" (I would imagine it is hard everywhere), but I don't think tenure has been denied to anybody in many years at UNR (if ever, actually). However, it is true that there might be a case or two where the faculty member may have had to do a second round. I don't believe this is atypical in a department of its size. A2 I have not encountered this at all at UNR, as far as being 'toxic' A3: Do some basic google search regarding tenure public battles and lawsuits and other very nasty issues at UNR. You will see that even getting tenure does not protect you of anything there. Good luck to you all!

I don't know if they are delayed in the process or I haven't been shortlisted and they haven't contacted me... Q2: Any update on this? (12/10). Has anyone had a campus visit or an offer?

MLA Interviews
List NEW information at top - please post "Have you heard?" questions below, under Word on the Steet
 * Baldwin Wallace (12/18)
 * Columbia (12/18)
 * Randolph College (12/15) x2
 * Middlebury College (12/13) phone call x2
 * Earlham College (12/14) email. Q: TT or VAP? A: TT . A2: Awful place to work and awful place to live. Only 1 female faculty (who will most likely be at the MLA) is helpful. This is a department of 4 people who is always hiring, doesn't that tell you anything? Be careful here. A3: You're wrong. There are 2 female faculty. A4 to A3: "Only 1 femail faculty [...] who is helpful" it does not say there's only one female faculty (maybe you could read better?) I can assure you only one will go to the MLA, the other one is retiring soon,never talks to new faculty and does not care about the dept. Actually several VAPs have left because of her. Good luck at Earlahm, you will really need it.
 * Princeton (12/08)
 * University of Puget Sound (12/12)

 * U Mass - Amherst (12/10)
 * Lawrence University (12/6) x2, via email
 * Stanford University (12/08) x 2 Q: What position? A: Latin American Literature and Culture  A2: I too got an MLA interview request and was surprised given the previously posted information about Skype interviews (and even campus visits) involving colonialists. Not sure what happened - maybe they got another line? A3: Same here! I had counted this one out after seeing the Skype interviews here. Q: What regions do you work on? A4. From what I can gather, it seems as if they have two lines: a) a Colonialist (in advanced stages of the search, perhaps targeted) and b) some other profile (being interviewed at the MLA). Should be interesting to see where things go.

Rejections
List NEW information at top.
 * Emory University (email, no interview) 1/2 Q: Was this for the literature or linguistics position? A: literature A: I went on a campus visit and as far as I can tell, there was only one position but the job ad was open field, so  they could have interviewed linguists. I don't know if that's why people keep asking about linguistics, but the position is filled. I spoke with the chair before Christmas. A: Thank you for the info. That's interesting. I saw and applied to another job ad (different from the one posted below) that was somewhat open but definitely seemed to be geared toward a linguist. The ad is still open on Interfolio whereas the one below has been closed. I wonder what happened....

Q2: I'd be interested to know this as well, especially since there's no website to check the application status on.  A: It was the same email address that they requested applications be sent to. Q3: Has anyone else who applied NOT gotten a rejection e-mail? I'm starting to wonder if my (and others') application got overlooked.
 * Rice University (12/16) x2. Q: was this an email? I didn’t receive an interview with Rice but also haven’t received any rejections either. Just curious. Gracias y suerte! A: I didn't write the original post but I just received my rejection letter today 12/6 through standard mail. A2: I'm the original poster and I recevied a letter by standard mail too. Good luck to those who made it to the interview!
 * Durham University (12/14) x4 Q: Durham University in England?... impossible, the deadline was yesterday December 14 A: Yes, that same university... A: There were different deadlines depending on which "grade" you were applying to.  A3: The deadline for the lower grade job was nov.

Word on the street
List NEW information at top.

 * University of Kansas: Any news after Skype interview?
 * Coe College: Anything? A: They called yesterday (12/28) to schedule phone/skype interview.
 * University of Pittsburgh: Lecturer in Spanish. Just saw that the job ad on linkedin has a note saying that the position is no longer accepting applications (although deadline was on Jan 15).

 * Any news from CSU-Fresno after skype interviews Still no news? Thanks
 * Have you heard from Scripps? Strange that nothing has been posted on the wiki.
 * Durham University (England). Q: Does anyone know how "different" working in England is? I have applied for this position and heard in England they have 12-month contracts and one is expected to be very busy for the department. I am also told "administration" is something else, and you can expect to work about 50 hours week just for teaching and "admin". How is this possible? Apparently salaries are low and taxes high. A: I did my PhD in the US and work in the UK now and it's good, actually. Salaries are lower than R1s in the US, but you get annual raises negotiated by the union. The contracts are 12 months, but with five weeks of vacation, plus university closure dates and holidays, you get something like 2 months of "annual leave" and vacations here can really carry the expectation that you are not working. I have found the culture here to be more respectful of work life balance, and the research/teaching/admin load is manageable. You may teach as a part of more classes than a 2:2 load, but teaching is also more collaborative here (for example, several instructors teaching a few weeks each of survey course) and the students tend to have fewer assignments. Grading is often a distributed effort as well and dedicated admin staff handle a lot of things instructors do themselves in the US. There is probably more admin, but you get the equivalent of tenure after a year's probation. One other thing that's different is that you are expected to apply for (and win) grants, even in the humanities, but that can mean more research leave. On balance, I'd say there are good working conditions here. One downside to keep in mind is immigration can be very expensive if you are bringing along a family and the university won't cover their visa costs. A2 : I don't know where the previous contributor works, but things can be real tough in the UK. I did my PhD there and taught as an "hourly paid tutor." LIfe is horrendous basically because of the National Student Survey that is published every summer. They are changing everything constantly. A couple of people in the department run the business and the rest were extremely stressed with grading all the time ("collaborative teacning and grding) and everyone was speaking about everyone. They all complained they couldn't hardly have any time for research. I had to change supervisor as the one I had was extremely hostile. It was interesting to live in Europe for four years, but as soon as I got my PhD I came back. I know there are some good departments, but if you end up in a bad one...A: el mercado inglés, en el que trabajé en el pasado es igual de malo que el de EEUU...Tiene que ver con la "disciplina" ya que en ningún caso pedirían lo que piden a la gente de SPanish/Latin American a la gende de ciencias, etc. Buena suerte y tomadlo con calma, hay más vida que un simple puesto de "profesor/a", aunque sea en Harvard o donde sea -conozco a gente en Harvard, Yale, etc. que son igual de infelices que los que trabajan en SLAC o Master´s intitutions, etc.
 * College of Idaho? Any post-skype campus interview invites? They said they'd decide by week's end.
 * Has anyone heard from Hostos Community College?
 * University of Wyoming (Ling./SLA): Any news? A: No
 * Barnard College:  Position as Lecturer or Associate Lecturer of Spanish:  Any news regarding interviews?
 * College of William and Mary (Hispanic Studies and Linguistic): Any news? A: Nothing yet.
 * SUNY Albany: any news? Nobody posted any info here on this position. Have they interviewed candidates already? Are they at the campus stage? Thanks and good luck!
 * New Mexico State: any news post Skype interviews? A: I was wondering this too. I haven't heard back yet either.
 * Any news from Emory (Linguistics)? Still nothing from Emory, not even a rejection email/letter?
 * Cal Poly SLO: any news?
 * Any news from Indiana-Purdue University (IUPUI) Applied Ling position? A: I know someone who got a Skype interview there. (x2)
 * Any news from Princeton (Modern Peninsular)? 
 * UT Austin? Any news? A: Ethnic Studies wiki says they are at campus interview stage.
 * University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) Anything? Anyone? I'm surprised no one even mentioned UMBC on here. Did the official title "Assistant Professor of Intercultural Communication" scare people away? A: para mí el "problema" es la carga lectiva (normalmente 4-4, pero puede haber cambiado, además de su localización.
 * Any news from Brown? A: The conducted skype interviews last week. A2: Thanks for the information! Q: Is that Spanish or Portuguese? A: Spanish
 * University of Miami? Any news? A: They sent out interview invitations today (12/14)
 * University of New Orleans post-telephone interview updates? Anyone receive a campus visit? A: Totally wondering the same thing. They said they'd be in touch within three weeks. It's been six. A2: Same here. I'm assuming they sent out their campus invites already and that maybe we weren't in the first round.
 * Santa Clara post-Skype updates? A: Nothing here
 * Eastern Kentucky? Algo?
 * College of Charleston?
 * University of Puget Sound? A: I heard of someone that has a skype interview there.
 * Kennesaw State (12/10): Does anyone know anything about the positions here? They advertised two this fall (one for FL Education/Spanish and the other for an open specialization). I also see that they have searches coming up for another TT line plus two lecturer positions. A1: I know they have filled one position already, not sure about the others. What do you want to know?
 * Shorter University (12/10): does anyone know anything about this post please?
 * Virginia (12/08). can anyone share any news please. They are already thinking about giving the job to a certain cadidate. [I did us all a favor. Good luck everyone!] A1: So yet again a user who didn't like the discussion the community was having decided to delete the whole discussion. Please stop doing this! If you don't like what the community says, don't visit the wiki instead of censoring it in order to make it fit your agenda. A2: Agreed. A3: Disagree. This is a forum for useful information about the job market, NOT for childish bantering and personal insults. X2 A: A4: Interesting. It's childish to tell the truth about the job market, but methods we have to use in our classrooms to 'entertain' students aren't childish... A5: Especialmente para el querido colega "A3": ¿Ahora decides tú lo que es información útil y la que no lo es? Yo no recuerdo haber leído ningún insulto en el diálogo borrado, y sí un cambio de impresiones muy interesante acerca de cómo funciona el mercado de trabajo y el concepto de "elección" que algunas universidades están ejerciendo. ¿Están mal los comentarios sobre Virginia y no lo están los de Yale tres líneas más abajo? ¿Está mal hablar negativamente sobre UVA pero prestar atención a cotilleos de prensa e insultar a los estudiantes de Yale llamándoles racistas está bien? Me imagino que te habrán molestado algunos comentarios sobre tu alma mater, pero en ningún momento hubo insultos.  De todas formas, si el cotilleo  es lo que te va, lee estas navidades un par de novelas de David Lodge y deja de decir tonterías en el forum. A6: ¿Alguien sabe algo específico de este puesto? Les agradecería cualquier información concreta que pueden proporcionar. ¿Sigo esperando o ya lo doy por perdido? X2  En efecto, alguien con mucho apego a virginia borró una serie de comentarios hechos al hilo de quienes antes habían realizado comentarios ofensivos contra quienes se sorprendían de que virginia --según se decía aquí-- habían tomado ya una decisión sin pasar por las entrevistas en MLA. Aquí solo se dijo que era una fake search, como se dice en muchos casos --según el primer comentario que alguien con conocimiento de causa hizo--. después se apuntaba que el nivel de virginia era bajo y se traía a colación un vídeo en el que un catedrático habla a estudiantes que se preparan para ir un semestre a espana y les explica que los espanoles comen testículos de animales y que los andaluces descienden de moros. La información que se daba era relevante: según parece la search está apanada y el nivel de conocimiento sobre la cultura espanola es paupérrimo (por mucho que hayan publicado), todo lo cual posee sobrado interés para quien se plantee solicitar puestos allí. Ahora ese que lo borra todo y que se cree que los demás somos tontos, que borre esto, que yo volveré a ponerlo. A7: Gracias por escribir el resumen de la conversación. Estoy cansada de que algunos miembros de la comunidad se atribuyan la función de árbitros de lo que se debe o no publicar en esta Wiki y borren conversaciones enteras sin ningún miramiento. A algunos no nos gusta lo que otros colegas publican aquí, pero no lo borramos porque es poco ético. A8:  This X2 is an angry elf... so antagonistic. I am glad I don’t have to work with him/her. A9: thanks everyone for comments and information. To A8, I find comments above (x2 and others) pertinent. Please abstain from offending others here -- no one is interested in who the individuals you want to work with are. To A8: Seguro que a todo el mundo le encantaría trabajar con alguien que va por ahí llamando antagonistic angry elf a todo el que aporta información. No solo no das información, sino que te permites ir insultando a los demás. Muy bien. A9: Are some of you kidding? Like seriously. "Angry elf" is nothing in comparison to the comment below about Yale students being racists. Moreover, someone asked what was happening in this search (also see Berkeley and Yale) which spiraled into a series of ridiculous conversations that not only didn't answer any questions about updates, but have gotten nasty. How about we start a conversation about useful interactions like how to survive MLA, what to do when weather throws off an on campus interview, how to answer tough interview questions, etc. We should all try being kinder to each other here since academia is hard enough as it is; we don't need what is supposed to be an information forum repeating the abuse. A10 to A9: I certainly agree: We should be kinder to each other. One way to get to that goal is not deleting our colleagues' posts and not telling what they should post and how they should behave. Deleting other folks' opinions is VERY disrespectful. A11: It's very helpful to know how they do things in some places, like Virginia, Berkeley and Yale. It's been good to google information about Yale and read about their story on the campus newspaper online. In the case of Virginia, if they have actually just picked the applicant whose application they had been waiting for, that's bad. If they do things behind behind everyone's backs, it's good to know not to waste time applying there in the future. A12: I don't know if this information is helpful or not, but here goes. I graduated from UVA, and when I was a grad student there they hired some of the people who work there now.. The department tended to follow the expected pattern of interviews, campus visits, etc. In the case of senior faculty the candidate had sometime/often taught as a Visiting Professor, but the department still invited him or her for an official campus visit to give a job talk, etc. Mind you, it is possible that a candidate has come to visit already, and said candidate is just not on wiki (I am surprised by how many people still don't know about this site). What I also know in this particular case is that the net has been cast wide (notice that the specialty can be early modern to modern) because this search is to replace more than one professor. I also cannot confirm if they will get to replace more than one professor with this search (in other words, if they can make two hires with this position). I am not sure anyone on the search comittee can confirm that either. So knowing all of this I would say anyone who has applied should still wait and see. A number of scenarios are possible. I am actually not applying for that position (I don't have a snowball's chance in hell of getting it), but I sincerely wish anyone who is applying for it the best of luck! It is a wonderful department (despite some of the comments made here before they were deleted--not by me!. Anyone who gets that job will be truly lucky!! I will let you know if I find anything else out. A13: Thank you, A12! This is very helpful. I only ever heard the best things about this department, which is why I was so stunned to see these negative comments about it.
 * Furman (Golden Age): any news please (12/08). A: Answered above.
 * Northwestern. Any news? (12/8)
 * Yale  .  I have applied for the Yale post and just heard all senior faculty were removed from leadership positions due to complaints from postgrads, from sexual harassment to abuse of power. on their webpage i see the dept chair is a french prof. Does anyone know about this? A1: Yale has gone through a lot of nasty stuff lately. A friend of mine used to teach there and he didn't like it at all. A2: It's all just malicious gossip and silly fabrications. Everything is fine at the department. Good luck with your application. I have no doubt you will be very happy there. I have a very good knowledge of the situation, and I assure you there is no need to worry at all. Q: I have just read a few articles in the Yale newpaper and the story seems quite serious: sexual harassment on faculty and postgrads, systematic bullying, all took a groups of posgrads to send a letter to the president, resulting in an investigation and three professors, including the chair, removed from their positions. google: "Yale News Former Spanish Prof alleges sexual harassment, retaliatory firing in law suit", which is one of many articles on this story. It seems the Dept is completely broken A.: Those articles in Yale Daily News were written by somebody who is extremely unprofessional and dishonest. They contacted me for an interview a couple of times, and I was shocked by how eager they were to distort reality and publish ridiculous lies. Look, ultimately, it's up to you where you choose to work. But it would be sad if you were to reject a brilliant job offer at such a great place with an unequalled compensation package because somebody published dishonest articles and spread rumors. Whatever you decide, however, I sincerely wish you the best of luck in your career. Only you know what's best for you. Q: Thanks very much for the information. I see the journalist will exaggerate, and Yale should be a great place to work. However, the fact seems that there was an anonymous complaint (allegedly from postgrads) and as a result of that senior faculty were removed from leaderships positions including the Chair, with another professor taking "leave." i see on their webpage the chair is now from french and the director of postgrad studies from another language. that is really scary if one will have to work in such a divided dept. But thanks very much for your comments. A: I was contacted earlier this year by a first year graduate student in the department who was looking to switch programs and was interested in mine. She asked me if I felt safe in my learning environment, if my program was a welcoming place to explore new ideas, and whether I felt comfortable as a female in my department. If I were in your position I would wait to make a decision until I spoke with various members of the faculty, in addition to students, and formulated my own opinion on the matter. A: I have herd lots of details from former Yale graduate students about this situation and department. I chose not to apply to a job there because of the horrific situation right now. X: Yale students are clasistas y racistas. *A* —> to the coward who keeps deleting my commentary against this ridiculous generalization about Yale students: do you care to at least defend yourself? Clown. A1: Todos estamos con los nervios destrozados por este proceso largo y penoso, pero no ganas nada con insultar a la gente que no te ha hecho nada malo. No se puede generalizar de esta manera. Hay un montón de gente verdaderamente fenomenal en Yale, igual que en cualquier parte. El enemigo aquí es el mercado laboral académico que está atroz y no la gente que está en Yale o dondequiera y que sufre igual que vos en este proceso. A: mi pregunta es, ¿Vale la pena todo esto por una m... de trabajo de maestro de español, que es lo que somos, no nos engañemos, y como nos ve el mundo, incluyendo las/os estudiantes... Y además en muchos casos tener que vivr en medio de la nada, con fanatismo variado y por unos 50000 antes/después de impuestos? Para mí no, es por esto que hace tiempo decidí que dejaré la academia tan pronto como pueda (y tengo tenure y listo para full, pero paso de esto... me da vergüenza ajena dedicarme a esto; fuera otro campo, pero en este... ). O sea que tendréis un trabajo más abierto en un año o dos... :)
 * Georgia College. What's the deal? A: Initial interviews took place at the start of November. They claimed they would do campus interviews before Thanksgiving break, but so far no one has mentioned a campus interview. Honestly, it seems like an inside hire. A: Offer has been issued.
 * Columbia. Any news? (12/7). A: Which position? A2: TT. Latin American Cultural Studies.
 * Fairfield College. Have you heard? (12/7)
 * University at Albany. Any news on the linguistics position? (12/7)
 * American University. Any news?

 * En serio, nada de Furman? (11/30) Q: Alguien sabe algo de la plaza de siglo de oro en Furman?
 * UC-Berkeley: A week after the deadline people are saying they heard about a Skype interview. How's that possible? I don't want to believe in the whole "fake search" conspiracies, but damn they were fast. A: I've received notification for an interview a week after the deadline. Some places just move quickly.  A: True. Also true that this department has a history of doing searches (at least on the Latin Americanist side) that are less than transparent... or rather, all too transparent. In any case, when committees do have someone in mind, it would be nice if they would request fewer documents upfront. But if I were to be generous (and politely overlook the department's history), I would guess that this year there must be some well-known professors in Brazil who are looking to leave, given all the problems there, and maybe Berkeley received a couple of those sorts of applications from obvious winners. (I'm a little surprised this didn't happen in the case of the open-rank Brown position...) A2: Yes, it makes a lot of sense actually. Not considering the possible shadiness of the process, it may be they were looking for a tenured professor, and some of them showed up.  A3: Time will tell. If they end up hiring a relatively junior person whose BA or PhD is from Berkeley, then, well... ;) Berkeley does tend to fall in love (metaphorically) with its own students, and not just in this department. So it goes. A4: Two of Berkeley's last four searches have hired their own former PhDs (2009 and 2016). There are also a few very senior faculty members who hand-picked the other two (2012 & 2014) from ABD students of their inner circle of colleagues. The irony is these are the type of people who are the first to scream that nepotism doesn't exist and express their confidence in academia's standing as meritocracy. A2: I know this is all speculation so far, but I wish I'd known this before wasting my time. Who's going to be the genius entrepreneur to create a glassdoor-type website for academia? Departments have all the right to do the choice they want, but at least the meritocracy discourse would go out of the window. A5: Coincidence? They inside hire but their grad program hardly has new students (cost of living, lack of support, poor graduation and job placement rates) and their major/minor enrollment is more low than second tier schools in state. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole program is dismantled, especially in light of the sexual harrassment and misconduct cases of a decade or so ago.  A6: Okay guys, let's not go crazy here. Their PhD grads have actually gotten some pretty good jobs in the last couple of years, and there is no obvious reason why the program would be dismantled, especially given all the hires they have recently done! The lack of support for grad students is no doubt a university-wide problem, not departmental, and nepotistic though it might be, I don't see how the lack of financial support has any connection to inside hires... which, alas, is all too common at top-tier universities. A7: Meritocracy is a myth. It does not exist in our fields, just let's face it...Sad, but true... I have seen a lot of things I would rather not had seen in the Academia for the last 20 years... A8: Span and Port at Berkeley is not was it use to be at all. There are a couple of three leading scholars at most right now. Lately they have hired people with just a couple of articles... The Dept. has a "good" name because of the Berkeley "brand" but not for its own merits. A9: al comentario anterior. Pues sí, pero es que es así en todos sitios: mira Harvard, por ejemplo. A10: así es la mediocridad del mundo de los estudios hispáncios donde abunda por donde vayas la burrocracia y la imposición de la miedocracia sobre la seguridad laboral y que el que viena sea mejor que el que está, etc., etc.. Ánimos, a todas/os en ser maestrillos de español, que, como digo en otra parte, es lo que somos... O no habéis oido la pregunta: So, are you a teacher of Spanish? LOL
 * Kansas. Any news?
 * University of Houston. Has anyone heard anything yet? (Linguistics) A: Application deadline is Dec. 1, so I'd think it's a bit early.
 * Please share total interviews up until today (11/18): A: 2 A2: Patience. Though it feels like an eternity to us once we have submitted, to committees, it is very difficult to meet and select ~10-12 interviewees from a pile of hundreds of applications. It can take weeks to reach an agreement, let alone get HR to OK the candidates (then think the technology needs). Don't expect that schools with deadlines last week will have answers prior to the holiday. It's possible, but try to focus on your work and not on counting the days. That's the only way to keep sane! A3: 6 that led to 3 campus interviews (11/25) A4: 12 interviews, 5 campus interviews, and 2 offers (12/7) A5: A3 and A4 makes the 99 rest of us feel like crap but congratulations to you. And cheers to all those PhD holders who have little mouths to feed and are running all around being VAPs and Lecturers and don't have a job for next year yet. Happy holidays! :/  A6: Holy guacamole. What's the secret sauce, A4 and A5? How do you make this magic happen? / A7: 4 interviews from 8 applications.
 * Brown - Has anyone heard anything yet?
 * Temple. Any news?  A: Nope (11/19) A2: (11/28) Invited to Skype.
 * University of Nevada - Reno: Has anyone heard anything yet? A:  They conducted interviews last week (11/13-11/17) and they picked three finalists for Campus Visits.
 * Stanford: Any news? (11/16) A: On the 10th, someone posted under the Skype interviews that they had heard.
 * Furman. Has anyone heard from Furman? (11/15)
 * Santa Clara. Any news on the Santa Clara Spanish Studies position?  I have not heard anything, but logged on to the system to see the status of my application marked "No longer under consideration". Has anyone received a call for interview or rejection? A: My profile said the same. But never received a rejection email. A2: My profile still says "in progress". I have not received any e-mail from them, though. So, I don't know if I am still under consideration or not. A: I was just contacted about my documents. They are finalizing information to likely invite candidates for skype interviews soon.
 * SUNY Fredonia. has an insider for the LatAm lit/history job. Good for him, he has plenty of experience in exactly what they asked for and he's been there for a year, but that announcement literally cites from his CV. Doesn't anyone realize that with the internet these days the patterns of inside hires are blatantly apparent to the whole world? A. It happens more ofthen than one can think despite the denial of many job applicants. A2- I think this job was the same job description as the initial search that took place summer 2016. The SUNY system cannot hire anyone TT without a real interview.  Sounds like a pretty fair search.
 * Georgia College is likely an inside higher. Their job description fits nicely with a PhD Spanish lecturer they have. It looks like they are doing interviews, but it might be to save face and do their “due diligence”. [edited to remove name-- I believe we are keeping names off public forums]
 * Uof Chicago. Suspicious: Does anybody know if the U. of Chicago job is for real? They have a postdoc right now who  does pretty much exactly what they are requesting in their job description. What's the word on the street?
 * A: I think you answered your own question. Also interesting that the deadline is so early - the day before the MLA list comes out (when most people start looking). Alas, that is how these things sometimes go, and jobs are so hard to come by that it is hard to begrudge any postdoc the possibility of their position turning into a job, though Chicago certainly could have been a little more discreet in their designs. Also good to keep in mind that things sometimes don't shake out as planned - departmental politics and other factors can intervene, so who knows what will happen.
 * A:  I absolutely agree with you. It is not really about begrudging the postdoc. But targeted searches prevent applicants from getting their hopes up and from going through the whole application process. Very strange indeed!
 * A: I cannot speak for U. of Chicago, but I've been in a U that has had to conduct searches ahead of the regular calendar due to limited personnel available to conduct the search during the fall semester.  Job postings appear in Inside Higher Ed and Chronicle year round, and the MLA should seriously consider doing the same, or else post only searches conducted through their own conference.
 * A: I agree with another comment on here about not obsessing over the inside candidate question. It is enough to drive us all to extremes and insanity. I have seen lots of cases of lines being created for Vaps and visiting, which is a distinct situation, but is great for them. In searches, there is a chance someone else is chosen, which has got to be hard to go through as an “internal” person. I did hear, though, U Chicago is meant for the postdoc. Second hand, but very reliable.
 * It IS for the postdoc. First hand.
 * I think it is perfectly fine to begrudge Chicago if this is indeed a fake search. They reached out to my advisor (a top scholar in the field) after the position had been posted for a month to ask her to recommend candidates to them and encourage them to apply. If the (fake) search was for the postdoc, I am assuming that they simply did not have enough candidates to legitimate it (given that they posted the job early and made the materials due the day before the MLA JIL came out) and therefore needed a bigger pool. I mean, if you want to hire a a great person who is already there, great. But don't be an asshole, using your academic connections to populate your candidate list. That is messed up.

Free advice (especially for colleagues new to the market)
List NEW information at top.
 * I had a Skype interview but haven't heard from the committee. Other candidates had posted receiving a rejection email from the same school. Is it advisable to contact the chair of the search to inquiry about the status of my application? Thanks in advance. A1: I wouldn't do it, and I have been a couple of times in situations similar to yours. Each institution has their own pace and their own way to manage rejections, interviews, and offers. Some institutions don't even let you know that you haven't been selected, but inquiring about their process would put you in a spotlight that you don't want to be in.
 * Princeton Postdoc. Q: New to the market and wondering what the profile of a postdoc applicant should be like in order to have a shot at a postdoc fellowship at Princeton? A: Probably knowing people at Princeton. If not, then already well published and from top tier school.
 * MLA: Any tips for first-timers?  A1: One thing I like doing for MLA interviews that I can't for skype is bring a physical teaching portfolio (with a cover sheet and enclosed in one of those grade-school type plastic report covers), with sample syllabi or evals, whatever didn't make it into the original app. It might make you stand out and they'll at least glance at it. Other than that, dress nice, be there early to be on time, and be yourself! Suerte A2: I often take a sample syllabus to offer them and make reference to in the interview. Of course, make reference to any syllabus you've previously submitted to jog their memory, then offer a second example of your work. It shows you're ready to jump right in designing courses. Also, be aware of your surroundings and don't discuss your interviews in public spaces. You never know who hears you.
 * HELP! I was wondering if someone could give me some orientation regarding websites, contacts, etc. to look for a job in Canada (PhD in Spanish/about to graduate). I have looked in the “international” section on HigherEd etc. But seriously, I get zero matches. Thank you for any help you can give me. A: Puedes mirar aquí, seleccionando Canadá como país: http://www.todoele.net/trabofer/TrabajoOf_list.asp aunque no sale casi nada ¡Suerte! ***Acabo de ver que Canadá no está en la lista. Sin embargo he visto algún puesto para Canadá en esta página. Quizá poniéndolo como palabra clave... ***
 * A1: There aren't that many universities in Canada. It doesn't happen every year that even a single position in our field opens up at the TT level. As a Canadian who was desperate to find a job in Canada and had to realize it was never going to happen, this is precisely the experience I had on the job market. I kept trying to find Canadian positions, and there were either none or one that was not in my area. The best of luck but keep your options open and don't bet just on Canada.
 * A2: It's true, there arent that many universities in Canada, but most of the universities are large research universities and they are pretty much all public, no SLACs or so-called teaching universities, it's a bit of a different ballgame. Most positions would be on here though, when there are any: http://www.hispanistas.ca/inicio.html


 * How to interpret an open rank search? I am new on the market, and have read that many times departments are primarily looking for a full professor, while keeping a door open for assistant professors in case they cannot reach an agreement on a candidate. Also heard associate professors flock to these openings for the tenure, making it unlikely they'll get someone with less experience. What do you guys think? A1: Go for it. The scenario you describe happened at my R1 last year. Negotiations fell thru with the preferred associate profs and they hired a (wonderful) ABD.


 * Inside Candidate Anxiety. Having read the wiki for many years (both as a candidate and as a committee member), I urge y'all not to buy into the "inside candidate" anxiety. Not only is it perhaps the most unhealthy aspect of this particular forum, but it's usually totally, absolutely unfounded. Committees will hire lecturers and VAPs, of course, but it's the exception, not the rule. Please focus on your own materials. [If you're a masochist and want to channel your nervous energy into this topic, just review previous years' wikis. The insider is almost always beat out by the outsider.]
 * A: I have seen both things happen. I know there are fake searches. I was the subject of one. Sadly, it is a reality. I have seen (this happened to me) a Dean saying, "nope, we need a candidate who represents this and that at this juncture" and then the assured job of a "fake search" goes to someone else based on institutional needs. So all sorts of unexpected things can happen, even within a "fake search." With regards to the U of Chicago's job, several second hand knowledges attest to it being for the postdoc and that is great for her! But as you point out, it all shall be revealed at the end.
 * A2: Having been on the market and on searches, I wonder if the obsession with the inside candidates is a way to feel some measure of control in an uncontrollable situation. I know insiders who won, who didn't even get interviewed, who never applied to begin with. Being the inside candidate is hugely nervewracking because it involves an entire year of constant performance, trying not to say the wrong thing, offend the wrong person, attend the wrong event. It's a double-edged sword. Even if a profile looks perfect for a job, the materials presented could be weak, and a search committee may have hired that person late to fill a needed vacancy with no interest in a long-term hire. And, again, the inside hire may not at all want the job having done it for a year!
 * A3: anyone who doubts whether inside candidacies exist may revisit the 2017 thread and read the USC job description, then look who got hired. In my opinion, this is the most honorable way to go about a target hire, and USC should be praised for going through the required motions while making it totally clear they never intended to hire anyone else so long as the insider accepted (an important caveat). The dishonorable method of issuing a vague or general job description that will attract hundreds of applicants, and then conducting a disingenuous search also occurs: I was flatly told in the car on the way to the airport after a campus visit a few years ago that the deparatment was giving the job to the only candidate who had not yet visited. The other four of us were wasting our time by visiting for two days, and traveling for another two days to reach the somewhat remote campus; my ride to the airport was the only person who performed the courtesy of letting me know I shouldn't expect anything. It was hugely appreciated. I later learned that although I was required to submit my dissertation for examination before an invitation could be issued, on the grounds that the university was unwiling to approve ABD hires, the candidate who accepted the job was a fifth-year ABD with less than two chapters written at acceptance. Make of all this what you will. I still apply for jobs I want, but manage expectations accordingly. A: USC also "hired" an ABD as postdoc. I do not know how "honorable" is that.
 * A4 to A3. I totally agree. Inside candidates and fake searches happen more often and one can think. It happened to me several times last year.
 * A5: A2 is AN EXCELLENT EXCELLENT answer.


 * Quaker College. I know the job market is not great (it has not been for a while), however, try to stay away from that Quaker college in Eastern Indiana. They have a very toxic work environment. While they advertise their teaching load as "3 classses per semester" you as the new person will most likely have to teach their 3 sections of SPAN101 in the fall and 2 or 3 sections of SPAN102 in the spring with basically no option of teaching upper level classes. Each section is 5 credits, so you will most likely teach 13 -15 credits for semester. Also, that area of Indiana is miserable (extremely conservative), it's basically a meth town. Also, while they do hire people who are not quaker, the truth is that the institution is very "cultish" and the people who make decisions are quaker. They have had a lot of problems with junior faculty retention. Even people in tenure-track positions have left. Just some free advice, take or leave it. (Someone deleted this so I'm putting it back). A1: Thank you for putting it back. The person they are replacing (tenure track position) left in his third year because of how awful their department is. A2: I have heard about the previous person from the position of someone who worked with him, and I can assure you that it is a very different story that has nothing to do workload issues or "cultish" work environments. Take with a grain of salt the comments of a former disgruntled employee. A3: respetando tu comentario, parece que trabajes más para HR que como faculty...Fíjate que me creo más al que se fue que al que se quedó. OP.  This is a department of 4 (four) people and they have been hiring almost every year. You can check previous MLA jobs lists. If that does not tell you anything then you are just choosing not to believe. And you can always make a trip to Richmond, IN and see for yourself how miserable that town is.


 * Inside Candidates.  About inside candidates: just because someone in the department fits the profile perfectly it does not mean they created the position for that person. It could very well be that they hired the person (postdoc, visiting, lecturer) to temporarily fill a real departmental need but intend to do a "real" search. I saw this happen at my institution--a visiting faculty fit the job description perfectly on paper but the department was actually looking to replace her. In the meantime, several commenters here were convinced there was an inside candidate. I am not saying it doesn't happen, just that it's not always a given. Good luck!


 * Interfolio Deliveries Malfunction. Make sure to double check your interfolio deliveries. I submitted a few applications a couple weeks back and they were marked as submitted. Upon checking this week, I noticed that two deliveries were, in fact, marked as incomplete. It was an easy fix, but I was very glad I double checked.


 * Question Re: Campus Interview Schedule. New to the market: I was invited to a campus interview. The travel arrangements made by the institution don't make sense. I am scheduled to arrive Thursday afternoon, go to dinner that evening, and then Friday go through the interviews, job talk, and such. They scheduled by trip back home for that same evening. Should I be worried that this program has an inside candidate? Does not have enough resources? A friend of mine that was hired last year was hosted for more than one day by all the universities where she interviewed...Is this common?
 * A1: I don't think you should read much into it. Maybe resources, but that doesn't reflect upon the dept. necessarily. They have to get approval for the costs from someone higher up, like the Dean. Often visits can be 2-3 days in TOTAL because of the cost of flights or the difficulty depts. have in trying to schedule all of the aspects of a visit: the dept. chair interview, dean/provost, students, your talk, teaching etc. Just focus on preparing for each step of your visit the best you can and don't read much into anything else.
 * A2: I would not read absolutely anything into it. Having been on boths sides of searches, the schedule does not sound that unusual to me. As A1 said, it's better to focus on what you can control. If in the worst case scenario it is a fake search, though you'd rather spend you time differently, you'll have job interview training, a job talk you can reuse, and conatcts in another Spanish department.
 * A3: Often the short visit time has to do with what the administration is willing to pay for. At my institution we had to fight tooth and nail to allow candidates to stay two nights in the local hotel. I think our department ended up paying for the second night. My guess is that it has nothing to do with your status as a candidate. By the way, congratulations on getting a campus visit!
 * A4: Do not worry at all. This is increasingly normal. Also, I had a campus interview last year with a one night visit and I got the job.
 * A5: Totally agree with A4. I had 3 TT job offers with just one night visit, although I did not accept any of them (this was a couple of years ago). If you have only one day of campus visit I would try to stay around or plan a next visit to that specific location before accepting any offer.
 * A6: Think of it this way. The one night means they can feed you better. Personally, I prefer the one night, because that gives me the weekend at home to relax, do my own work and not have the pressure to breakfast with someone or perform anymore.

 * Best time for interviews? Something I am wondering... When do you think it's the best time to make the interview, if you can get the slot? I've done interviews in the last slots (afternoons), when the committee may remember you well but at the same time are tired of candidates, or first thing in the morning, when they can't compare with other candidates yet but they may forget their impressions of you... Any thought? I'd appreciate them.
 * No news at all? Potentially stupid question: for at least four jobs I've applied to, I haven't gotten any word at all (e.g., no message about receiving materials, no rejection, no interview), yet I see from the Wiki that other people are getting interviews and campus visits. Is it common to not even get a rejection email? A1: Unfortunately, it is far too common that the schools completely ignore people. When I see that some got rejections and some get interviews and I haven't heard anything, I like to think that I'm on a backup list, but you never really know. Still I wish there would be more communication, even rejections. Last year I only heard from about 25% of the schools I applied to. A2:  The best is when the rejections roll in a full year later.
 * "List of references" vs letters of recommendation. Don't make the same mistake I did. I received an email from a committee saying they could not consider my application until they receive letters of support. As per the application instructions, I had submitted a "list of references" (with interfolio links), assuming that the committee sends the requests to Interfolio based on that list. It turns out, don't assume this. I re-checked and there is a "special instructions" box at the bottom of the application saying to have the recommendations sent. It's pretty confusing that they ask for the list of references, but apparently don't actually use it.
 * Keeping Track of the Job List on this Page. Can anyone share their method to keeping track of the Job List on this page? How do you find new positions as they are being posted without having to go one by one? What I do is I have my own list (that I have previously copied and pasted from this page) and every time I check for new positions I go one by one and add the new postings to my list and highlight the old ones. However, as you can imagine, this is really painful because, you have to go through more than a hundred of these every time. Since there is no way to sort the positions by, let's say, posting date, I can't think of a better way to actually keep track of new postings. Any thoughts? A1: I just use HigherEdJobs, Chronicle Vitae, and the MLA list. Have you ever found a job on the wiki here that wasn't on any of those sites? They're much easier to use for keeping track of new jobs.
 * MLA Interviews and Spending Unnecesary Money. I was wondering: How appropriate it is to tell a College that you will not be going to MLA? I have a friend who spent around a thousand dollars to go for just ONE interview that it didn't even result on a campus visit. On the other hand, I have another friend who was going for just one interview as well last year and, due to a snow storm, his flight was canceled. Since the college was a couple of hours drive away from him, he called them and told them about the situation and asked if he could go to campus and have the interview there. So, I guess my question is: This process of job hunting and the market is a huge business for a lot of the parties involved (MLA, Interfolio, etc.) and it is, in many ocassions, a waste of money for us--the ones looking for jobs, who are either adjucnts with a crappy salary, ABDs, or recently graduates: Is it detrimental to your application to tell a College that you will not be attending MLA (just because you don't want to)? Do they dismiss you as a candidate right away if you do? I read somewhere about one person for whom the College aranged a Skype interview when she/he said they could not attend MLA: Is this a standard procedure? If you are not going: Do you ask for it or do you wait until they offer the Skype interview option? How would you approach this in the invitation for interview at MLA? Thanks guys! Good luck to everybody. A1: I personally would not change my winter break  to attend the MLA (especially because my plans, as a lot of people's here, entail traveling abroad and seeing family and friends); however, in my experiece, you can find both extremes of the scope here: departments that will accommodate you and interview you on Skype, either from the covention  or soon afterwards; and departments that will discard you, no questions asked, just because you did not comply to their request. I would say it is up to the kind of Search Committee Chair you got. All about timing/luck as usual. --A2: A colleague of mine was offered an MLA interview last year and when he/she inquired about the possibility of a Skype interview instead, they basically replied with a thanks, but no thanks, and didn't even follow up about the original offer of an MLA interview. So, for some schools it can definitely backfire to make this request. Unfortunately I don't know exactly which school/department it was. A3: Difficult to answer, because only your know your finances and the interest in a particular position. From my personal experience, I missed 3 opportunities just saying I could not travel. Once I spent 2000 dollars (that I had t borrow from the bank) to be interviewed and when I arrived there, one of the guys who was interviewing me was just answering his email). So, is it worth it? If you do not have the money I would say just do not go. If they are  interested they will give you alternatives (although in some cases will be just to "save face"). I hope it helps. A4: Agree with my fellow responders in many ways. One thing to keep in mind definitely is the committee - the MLA was the way to go through this process until only the last few years. My own advisor, who is relatively young, still believes in going to the MLA. Generational differences in the process, I think, but that is still an unavoidable part of the interview. Also think, if a school has gotten the funding to go to NY (or anywhere the MLA is being held), they will likely feel upset if most candidates don't show. It's a very tough situation. If you have more than 1 interview offer, you should probably go. If you know you shine in person rather than skype, go.       A5: I would say it depends quite a bit on where you hope your career goes. On the one hand, I completely understand the financial cost of the MLA and the reality that it is no joy to spend the beginning of a new year there. On the other hand, I can't emphasize enough the value of showing up at the MLA to network, depending on your field. I went to the MLA more than once for interviews. Did I get my dream job as an ABD? No. Was it cheap? No. I had to pinch pennies every month and skip vacations to afford it. I threw up in a bathroom from the stress one year. Still, I made myself go to the panels in my area, meet senior scholars and introduce myself to book editors. I now have an R1 job and a book contract. That wouldn't have happened with skype. A6: Besides the MLA interviews, which in my opinion are actually pretty unfair, I think being there, physically, is essential. I have found myself twice in the situation of being called for a face-to-face interview when I couldn't make it (once for a schedule conflict, and oce for being a position abroad). In both cases I was compiting with candidates who were going to be in person in the interview, and in both cases a short class sample was expected. For people being physically there, they didn't have the possibility of a technical problem (you all know Skype is not perfect), they were meeting the committee and, like it happens in MLA interviews, I dare to say they had more time to be interviewed than a person on a screen. No need to say I was out of both processes after the first round, and I do believe the Skype interview had a lot to do... Maybe the MLA is worthy.  A7: It is completely unethical for a search committee to deny you the possibility of a Skype interview, or to place you at a disadvantage for doing Skype rather than the MLA. (I am a faculty member at an R1 university, and we would never hold this against a candidate.) Even the MLA itself is beginning to recognize the onerous costs of attending and recommending that search committees give candidates the option of a Skype interview, and this year not that many schools are even doing MLA interviews. That said, as others have already commented, there are a lot of other professional benefits to going to the MLA, and personally I have always felt more comfortable with in-person interviews - both as an interviewer and interviewee. A8: I was surprised to find that there is no reduced registration rate for non-TT faculty. It should be sliding scale like the membership to ease the burden for the precariously employed. A to A8: You do not need to register to be interviewed. I hope it helps. A8: thanks!
 * Positions deleted from the list below? I posted two positions below: one at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and one at Ball State University (IN). Did anyone delete them?
 * Not entirely sure these positions actually made it to the list before, but they are now posted below [12/9].


 * Question from a newbie: Has anyone applied to the North Carolina Central position? (Assistant Professor of Spanish) I do not see it listed on the job posting below... Does it mean something?
 * A: I think it means nobody cut and paste it here. Wikis are written by anybody who want to participate.


 * A question especially for those with more experience on the recent job market: Do you think that is easier to get an interview/campus visit while being: ABD, Assist Prof or Advanced Assist Prof? I am an early Associate Prof, and I have students for the very first time on the job market...Thanks for sharing your experience and good luck to you all. This job market is not as good as it used to be...15 years ago.
 * A1: It's great you are trying to support your students by learning what the market is like today. I wish more advisors did that. This is my third round and I had more campus visits, not as an ABD, but I had just finished in December, than last year. I think it really depends on your candidate's qualifications (some ABD's last year I know of got hired at great places - but they had 2-3 articles) and the unknowns from within the search - like visa support, diversity hires, service needs, etc. If you have time, you could read through some ads with your candidate. A2: I had the most luck getting interviews by far as a VAP with PhD in hand. A3: I also think VAPs tend to appear more attractive on the market, provided they stay research active. And postdocs seem to have a lot of success landing research intensive jobs. Sometimes ABDs beat out VAPs if they can give the impression that they are truly almost done and have a lot of potential, and that they are a better "fit."A4. I think there is no set answer. It depends on the school. From what I have seen, Ivies seem to still love ABDs who have published something, but a lot of other R1s, R2s and SLACs seem to prefer VAPs or even Assistants looking to relocate. I imagine it has to do with whether they have the infrastructure to want to "mold" someone or whether they need someone with enough experience to hit the ground running.


 * Any insight on the Olé Miss Dept of Modern Languages?  I have heard that they have lost several faculty lately, and I was wondering why... Just general info, please, no need to enter into details... Thanks.
 * My understanding is that the issue with the University of Mississippi is that it happens to be located in the state of Mississippi. This is also the problem with the University of Alabama, the University of Arkansas, etc.
 * Application through Interview Exchange. University of Massachusetts Amherst asks for the application to be submitted through Interview Exchange. Does anyone know what this is? I am assuming it is a service like Interfolio but its website asks you to request a "demo" of what I can only assume is the software. Has anyone used this before? How much does it cost? Is it really worth spending money on this? I haven't seen many applications asking to use this service.  Thank you.
 * A1: I applied for a job through interview exchange. All I did was create an account and submit my materials. I was never asked to pay for anything.
 * A2: It's the application portal they use. You'll need to go to their website and navigate for employment or HR to get to the job listings. Then, it's like all other application portals - create a user, upload docs, etc.
 * Thank you A1 and A2. I appreciate your help!


 * Deleted Posts. Every year we have the same issue: Some members delete posts from other members. I have no idea why some people do this (especially when the original post doesn't break any professional rules or ethics), but please STOP. This wiki is an invaluable source of information for many of us and we would like to have all the information that is available out there and ALL the opinions of our colleagues, not just those that fit YOUR understanding of the job market. Thank you.
 * 95% of the time, when deletions happen, they are accidental: the editors aren't paying attention and don't notice that they're wiping out info. in other parts of the page. One thing that helps to limit accidental deletions: try to edit specific sections ("Skype Interviews," etc.) rather than the whole page when you want to add something. And pay attention when you're editing (use "Preview" before "Publish" to make sure your edit looks right). And if you notice deletions, revert ("undo") them ASAP if possible. Information can always be recovered from the page history, so notify an admin. if you can't revert the problem. Hope this helps.--Una74 (talk) 20:18, November 11, 2017 (UTC). Original Poster: Thank you for your answer, Una74. I praise what you do for all of us. However, I was talking about some other users who year after year delete those posts with which they don't agree.


 * Emailed LOR's. A few posts seem to require letters be emailed directly by the recommendors (i.e. not on Interfolio). Any insight into a) why the committee would require this or b) if they'll actually care? It seems unecessary to inundate my recommendors' inboxes.
 * Sending a packet yourself via Interfolio is usually fine. Check in advance with the search contact in case of doubt, but I've always found that they happily accept the letters that way. And of course use the interfolio-generated email address for your letters when applying via an institution's particular online system.


 * U of Jamestown. Has anyone seen the post in University of Jamestown (ND)? It literally says: "The University of Jamestown is seeking an energetic language teacher for the position of Assistant Professor of Foreign Language with ability to teach Spanish, Italian, French, and Portuguese."; I just can't believe it, do you people think this is a typo or a mistake? I am afraid even of asking them, because I can't believe they are looking for an instructor in the four languages...
 * I can't believe they're asking someone to live in Jamestown, North Dakota. Vuelvo a mi país a andar de ambulante o poner mi puesto de salchipapa antes de ir a vivir allá. #ladignidadantetodo
 * Jaja. Lastimosamente la mayoría de los puestos están en pueblos donde no hay nada.
 * oh my god
 * Mua ha ha, me cautiva su inocencia 3>
 * ¿La mía, o la de ellos? Just to you all know, I e-mail them and yep, it wasn't a typo, it was the actual requirement.3>


 * I know nothing about that U or town, and it sounds like a pretty rough gig... but I would encorage people not to dismiss "flyover country" out of hand. I'm from a city and have been very happy living in rural America. Not all small towns are the same, and if you like the outdoors and have a family it can be great (not to mention cheaper). If you do get an interwiew in a place like that, don't let your disdain show unless you have no interest in the job!


 * WIKI Job List. I wish the Job Postings section of this wiki were in chronological order of date posted (or even by application due date) rather than alphabetical order. Doing so would eliminate the need to look at each posting every time I want to find the new postings. What say ye?
 * Thanks for the suggestion. I'm sorry, I can't actually rearrange the "Jobs" at this point (with 100+ jobs listed). However, I would recommend using the RSS feed to track updates (not only for that section but also for "Interviews" etc.). If you subscribe to the RSS feed, you'll be able to track easily whatever updates are added. Subscribe at this link: http://academicjobs.wikia.com/wiki/Spanish_and_Portuguese_2017-2018?feed=rss&action=history . A good reader to use to track the feed would be https://feedly.com (other options here: https://www.lifewire.com/top-free-online-rss-readers-3486649 ). Using an RSS reader can really enhance your use of this site. Hope this helps! --Una74 (talk) 04:08, October 17, 2017 (UTC)
 * A: You are clearly the dreaded reviewer #2. I'm exceedingly grateful to the people that provide the majority of contributions to this site and it seems a bit much to ask someone who's already working for free to bend to your whims and do a full site revamp because you feel inconvenienced. What say ye?
 * I just would like to say thanks for those who work and make this page possible, y'all are good people.
 * Wow. A simple suggestion followed by a logical rationale interpreted as an egregious offense. I don't sense ingratitude in the suggestion and it definately doesn't call for a mocking tone. Let's keep things civil; everyone is under a lot of stress these days.
 * This is exactly what's wrong with the "Academe" these days.
 * I see two sides to this interaction. The person above seems to be asking the site admins to change the site to serve her/his desires. Maybe not, but perhaps yes. The reason for this is because of her/his distaste for the "need look at each posting...to find the new postings." Is it a self-serving, entitled thing to ask that signals laziness or neediness? Yes. Was the responder who called her/him "the dreaded reviewer #2" a jerk. Yes. Here's the takeaway for all of you: I can say with great certainty that my colleagues and I would not hire either of these people if they betrayed such behaviors in interviews or as visiting faculty.


 * Portuguese Jobs. The Portuguese job situation always seems that it can't get any worse... until it does! As of 10/3, only 2 jobs specifically looking for Brazilianists/Portuguese specialists, both at Ivy league schools, and one that's open rank. Ninguém merece.
 * A: I feel you. Colonial went from consistently having 10+ jobs/yr to five two years ago, two last year, and now none this year. The few "Transatlantic Early Modern" offerings just mean that they want someone to teach everything pre-1800 so they don't have to hire anyone else OR they don't know what they want. Great year to be a linguist or U.S. Latinx Studies scholar.
 * A2: ...and there is also only one job so far in Contemporary Peninsular...
 * A3: Translators should be ecstatic this year though!
 * A4: I am not sure why universities keep giving PhD degrees in Spanish literature. There are basically no jobs in literature anymore, everything is in applied linguistics now.
 * A5: You have tapped into a deeper issue. There are too many Universities providing PhD's at a time when both the economy and the humanities as a field are in crisis (this issues are interrelated as well, of course!). Some of us already "wasted" our time and got a degree that will not necessarily lead to a job and are bouncing around year after year in search of the white elephant. The problem is for the future: those who are currently in graduate education and those who will start it in the future.
 * A6: Perhaps this is an ignorant question, since I studied literature, but I'm not sure why colleges and universities are asking for degrees in linguistics. Language acquisition I understand, but wouldn't a degree in linguistics prepare you to teach course in linguistics, which not many institutions do? Anyway, at the risk of stating the obvious, job candidates need to apply to all the generalist jobs as well as the few positions in their field. Good luck to all!
 * A7: (responding principally to A5) Whether or not this is purposeful (nefarious) on the universities' part, it benefits the universities to keep enrolling PhD students. They get cheap labor during the PhD and a surplus of future workers. The universities can skim the supposed "cream of the crop" for the few positions available, and they can assume that the rest of us will be willing to take less-desirable lecturer, VAP, adjunct positions, despite being "over-qualified," given the state of the market.
 * A8: I agree with you. The staggering amount of graduate labor force is cheap labor, and then, as you point out, an excess of desperate workers. If over 500 people go to the job market on any given year and there are but less than a few hundred jobs advertised, the math is pretty obvious. I am not sure if the good or bad faith of the Univerisites makes any difference to this outcome at this point. But I am sure this dynamic will continue to reproduce. Also, the cream of the crop you mention, is not "really" the cream but the result of snobbism on the part of committies and an endogamic inter-selection between a few Universities, regardless of merit or qualification.
 * A9: The grad students are less cheap labor than you'd imagine (first year fellowships, one class a semester, helath insurance, and so on, which are perks not necewssarily guaranteed to the adjuncts who would teach the courses otherwise). Though I think there is something to that, there is also a certainb inertia: without grad students professors could not teach graduate courses.
 * A10: Regarding the above remarks on linguistics and US Latinx: I think what we are seeing playing out this year is the result of a decade of falling enrollments in foreign-language literatures. Students and universities have been STEM-obsessed since the Great Recession began and there's no sign of abatement. At my graduate institution, the number of Spanish majors has fallen below the levels you'd find at much smaller liberal arts colleges. Faculty sizes are being pruned by decanal decisions to shift resources to other areas. Peninsular took the brunt of the cuts from 2007-2015 or so, and now the Latin Americanist jobs are disappearing. Tenure lines can sometimes be preserved as Latinx studies in the name of diversity, even though these positions are being duplicated in English departments (where they belong, in my opinion, along with Asian-American and African-American literature). Eventually those will be gone, too. The current generation of tenured faculty in our field has simply failed to make the case for its relevance.
 * A11: I believe that we all should consider revamping our academic/career goals. The reality is that the job market is not going to get any better and the universities know we are desperate enough to accept any crapy VAP, lecturer, or adjunct position that will condemn us to be eternal Language Instructors. So... I chose not to choose academia. I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've been an overqualified VAP for 2 years and you're done teachin' a 4/4 load!
 * A12: I share A11 opinion. Even in many TT positions you will be teaching 4-4 or even 5-5 (with four or five preparations), thousands of commitees, no support whatsoever for research, etc., etc., and for 50000 USD before taxes. Is it worth it? Not for me. If you get  to the campus visit stage do not forget to ask about the teaching load: they can tell you 3-3, etc., but ask exactly how many units. A lot of places say 12 units per semester with 3 preparations..., which in reality means 4-4. Other places promise teaching release if you do x or y. Reality? These teaching release promises go to tenured profs who do not want to work anymore and who have more access to deans and other administrators, etc. Have your eyes and ears very open before accepting any position. It is just a suggestion, take or leave it.


 * Native vs. Near-Native Fluency.. So... when an app asks for native fluency... is that an automatic disqualifier for those in "near-native" fluency? Is it even worth my time to apply?
 * A1: I would assume it's just bad wording for near-native; certainly apply.   A2: If A1 is correct, which I do not doubt at all, personally I think it is better to invest your time in a place where are able to put attention on an ad that goes over there. It is a red flag... I worked in the past in a place where things were done this way and you do not want to work there. There are many good places out there.


 * Miami University. "Miami University will not sponsor for H1B work authorization for the 2017-18 year." WTF?!! A1: Thank the executive order that eliminated the prime that made the H1B processing more expeditious for employers nationwide. They will employ you under J1 though. O.P. They might, but it's very hard to go from J1 to H1B. Personally, I believe it's form of discrimination. Some universities are just using the new H1B processign times as an excuse to not hire "foreign aliens". This basically makes international applicants not eligible at all to apply for jobs here. A2: Not discrimination. But it sucks. Howver, consider the position of the hiring institution. Without the rush processing that was once available, there is really no assurance, based on search schedules (that usually end in February/March), that a visa will be approved in time for the start of the fall semester. Institutions were all reliant on the rush processing. What would you have them do? A3: I work at Miami. They need to fill that position for spring, not for next year. A4. They have started doing this before the processing times were changed. A5 to A4: You mean they as in the U of Miami, or universities in general? If this is happening in general, then prospective international phd students should be made aware of this. A4 to A5: Universities in general. I saw similar posts last year even before the new administration. Also, more and more you see the "Will you now or in the future require visa sponsorship from XYZ university?" in the online application. Search committees are also asking that question these days during the interviews, and in most case you will not hear back from them if the answer is "yes".  A 6: It happens almost everywhere. It is legal. You must be honest in your response, otherwise you could face loose your job/job offer... Yes,  it is very difficult for international candidates, but this is not new. It happened to me many years ago also.
