Any news on campus visits at Marquette?

SPECIAL NOTE ON SO-CALLED INSIDE CANDIDATES: Hi there! Before feeling discouraged upon seeing people offer their information and opinions on such positions, I wanted to tell you: in a national search there is no such thing as a true inside candidate. The people who believe otherwise have probably not served on a search committee or have done so in a very idiosyncratic place. This is so for a host of reasons; but even in the case of a spouse that people hope to hire in order to retain a colleague, things can go wrong (other offers, hater-colleagues, sometimes no one intended to hire that person in the first place, etc) and in the case of a current VAP this is even more the case. So apply, take it seriously, and do your best. Even if everyone wants to hire a particular insider, things happen and they will want to have a fantastic second choice to hire. The rest is utter speculation and I think very unhelpful to our new potential colleagues.//Thank you for adding this. Good, sage words to keep in mind. // Really, though, listen to this—especially if this is your first time on the market. Use your energy to prepare (for interviews, for your defense, for anything productive or positive).

Inside candidate at U. of Massachussetts, Amherst. Second hand, but reliable


 * I'm pretty certain they have an inside candidate as well who does precisely what the job description calls for.
 * There is an inside candidate but it is not even remotely a given that person will receive it. The person below was intelligent enough to state this. I once thought insiders were given preference but it has proven to be wrong with several people.
 * About the inside candidates... I was once the inside candidate at Prestigious U. In fact, there were two of us. I was disqualified right away (thus, the search continues). The other candidate was particularly talented and made it to the short list, but still had to go back to his home country as he did not quite fit the profile they were looking for. Who got it at the end? A newly minted PhD. You just never know.
 * Well, let's see

Any news on University of Maryland, Baltimore County?


 * Re: I have not heard anything. (12/2)

Any word on U of Chicago? They asked for additional material in October, but I haven't heard anything since. I assume they're still deliberating. A2: Same here. Requested addit materials in November, and no word since.

Any word on UC Berkeley?

Any word on Mount Mary?


 * Re: I just submitted my application to SM the other day and it seemed like the review process is stil ongoing.

Has anyone heard about an interview for the University of Virginia open rank position? A couple of people seem to have been rejected, but there is nothing on the wiki about interviews.
 * They already sent rejections for people who didn't fit the criteria (Ph.D. in hand at time of application) but I don't think they've completed the next stage.

Short list @ Duke???
 * I haven't seen anyone indicate an invitation for interview yet, so I'm kinda dubious that they'd have a short list already.


 * Seems like a limited amount of Duke candidates being interviewed at Vancouver, are they playing a long game? i.e. ABDs @ MLA, Assistants & Associates in the new year? Wise move if they're determined to find a good fit.
 * How do you know this? How many candidates are being interviewed at Vancouver for this position?


 * Only know what's been posted here (1 declared MLA invu,& w/ that the assumption that the person is ABD b/c active Assts & Assocs might not be in the position to drop everything & fly to Vancouver during busy end of term-ad didn't specify MLA invus), the rest is conjecture. But if anyone knows of others, hopefuls would most certainly be interested!
 * This is quite presumptuous. Many positions didn't mention specifics as to where they're interviewing. People with MLA interviews might also be presenters. Also, didn't the job ad mention they were hiring at the advanced assistant level?

Inside candidate at Rice. Someone's spouse. - Second hand, reliable
 * Is the insider a potential factor in TT-GA or Lecturer search?
 * The Golden Age gig

Inside candidate at Oberlin? Their VAP is a well-rounded GA specialist...
 * I wondered the same. Strange indeed.
 * What's a GA specialist? Anyways, look at how long he's been there. His publications seem kind of on the light side. I imagine he's on his way out.
 * GA=Golden Age
 * FYI, SLACs rarely have inside candidates unless they are superstar academics. Too small, too risky.
 * And SLACs seldom go for superstars, either. They want scholar-teachers and can usually tell the difference.

General Discussion, Questions, and Inquiries
'''OK, so I saw this job call for a 5/5, expected research, service etc... and for $45k/year.'''

Are people actually applying to these jobs, are most of us that desperate?

http://job.pressofatlanticcity.com/jobs/assistant-professor-foreign-languages-natchitoches-la-69867347-d?networkView=national&utm_source=Indeed&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=Indeed '''If an ad for an assistant professor position doesn't specify "tenure-track", can it really be a non-tenured position or the title of "assistant professor" implies a tenure-track? Thanks. '''
 * A: This ad says "full-time assistant professor" but doesn't mention the possibility of tenure, so I take it that its a glorified lecturer gig and the pay scale is therefore basically in the expected range. As for desperation, I know plenty of folks who teach 5/5 or more as adjuncts for less pay, no benefits, no job security, and still try to keep on top of their research. We all want better working conditions but humility is essential for any job searcher. I'd bet that this opening will receive at least 100 applications....There are literatlly thousands of forums for discussion about the state of the academic job market so I'm not sure if you were just throwing this out there or what.
 * Unfortunately, the designation "assistant professor" does not always mean it is a tenure-track position. Usually institutions will distinguish between entry-level, tenure-stream positions and non-tenure-stream positions by calling them "assistant professors" and "visiting assistant professors", respectively. However, in recent years some schools have been blurring the distinction by posting "assistant professor" positions that are non-tenure without making it clear what they really mean. If the job announcement does not clearly state if the position is tenure-stream or not, you should contact the institution to make sure.
 * Thanks.

Tracking IP numbers for additions to sections defeats the purpose of an anonymous board.


 * Have you not been paying attention for the last 20 years? There is no such thing as internet anonymity.


 * !HA! this got weird, fast.


 * What's weird is that someone put the module--since eliminated--here on the top of the wiki to begin with. It listed the IP address for modifications and the section modified. Unless a poster uses a VPN or other similar technology, any person (search committees, for example) could enter the IP into a site to determine the geographical location of the poster.


 * Honestly, there is nothing sinister about it, it's how wikia works. If you don't want your ip address to show in relation to your edits, make a user name or don't use the service hosted here. Check out all the other pages, which have the same feature: http://academicjobs.wikia.com/wiki/Comparative_2015 (for instance). And, anyway, you aren't really removing the information, since it still exists under the major edit button on the title of the page: http://academicjobs.wikia.com/wiki/Spanish_and_Portuguese_2014-2015?action=history
 * Thank you above for explaining how the wiki works. IP addresses have always been recorded on this site and are always available in the Page History. The RSS feed does make them more visible, but it was not added to the top of the page to enable cyber-stalking; it was added to help users track when updates are made to the page (because people had been requesting something like this for awhile). Please refrain from removing the feed, as many other users find it helpful. Again, if you are concerned about the remote possibility of revealing your identity through an IP address, please create a Wikia User Log In. Thanks - Una74 (talk) 21:48, December 6, 2014 (UTC)


 * Finally, I doubt search committee members are stalking job candidates this way.


 * I certainly hope not, coming from this work-at-home spouse tracking/posting on behalf of my over-worked, dedicated, early/mid-career scholar partner. Surely search committees realize that it's not necessarily the candidate him/herself tracking/posting. In addition to supportive romantic partners, who are directly affected by the results of job searches, there are supportive parents, friends, and colleagues. At any rate, it would be a shame to see a chill fall over this forum as it's a valuable tool in an otherwise arbitrary and somewhat brutal process.


 * Wikipedia has the exact same system.


 * I can't imagine why anybody on a search committee would be bothered by posting interviews on this site. Nasty comments, sure, but certainly not news about interviews.
 * Honestly, most people just use this as a really handy tool to tell when there has been an update and in what section. I sincerely doubt that cyber-stalking is happening here.
 * I agree search committees are way too busy to stalk ip addresses on the wiki, but if anyone is truly worried about this, you can always creater a user login to mask your IP address: http://academicjobs.wikia.com/wiki/Special:UserSignup

'''Those of you in the know: Do search committees send out rejections and interview requests in batches or all at once? I cross schools off my list, essentially, if I see here that others have had interviews scheduled. I figure the school won't be getting in contact with me until someone gets around to sending a rejection. On the flip side, I just saw that a place I'm interested sent out some rejections. I'm hopeful I'll get a call.'''
 * I suppose that some universities send out bulk rejections (e.g., see the recent rejection blast from Duke), but it doesn't always happen like that. Some places don't send out anything, even after the job offer has been accepted. Interview requests can be sent out in bulk, but that's not always the case, either. Something to take into account as you're reading the wiki is that not everyone posts their interviews/rejections on here. I know from a position that I interviewed with that I'm the only one (of 8) who posted that interview on the wiki. Regardless, a cynical attitude will take us nowhere; I hope that things work out for you.

'''Would you send a thank you e-mail to the hiring committee after a skype/phone interview? If yes, would you send a note to all of them or just the chair? Thanks!'''
 * I would highly recommend sending a brief note of thanks to the search committee chair (or department chair, perhaps; it really depends on dynamics of the search committee). I don't think, however, it's necessary (or a good idea) to write the entire committee. Save those emails for the campus visit.
 * Less is more.

'''What does it mean when you don't receive an acknowledgment letter? I have applied to jobs and I see that other people have received an acknowledge letter, but not me. Any meaning? Should I expect the worst or not really?'''
 * That happened to me as well and I was wondering the exact same thing. Was it UWG? Maybe they didn't send a letter out to all applicants...
 * No, it was basically all the others. :(
 * It means very little. Some institutions take forever to dispatch them, while others never send them. If you are incredibly worried, you might consider reaching out to departmental staff.
 * Generally it doesn't mean much, but in this case (since others have received acknowledgement) it could mean your application is incomplete or has been misplaced. It is not a bad idea to call the department just to verify they have your materials, so long as they've had a reasonable amount of time to receive and process them.
 * Agree with above. Check that your application is complete. It's truly astounding how many candidates are missing something. But also, acknowledgment letters are often sent out by overworked office administrators who might do some batches and wait months before getting to the rest. With interfolio, only the "manager" (usually search committee chair) can send out acknowledgment emails, and this is a lot of messy, busy work that the chair might simply give up on doing.

'''When a job ad says something along the lines of "must be able to teach courses in translation," what do search committees mean by that? Do they mean teaching courses on the process of translation or teaching Latin American/Spanish literature that has been translated to English? I could easily do the latter but not the former, and I'm never quite sure which they're referring to. Can anyone clarify? Thanks! (Nov. 6)'''
 * Quite simply, the mean the practice of translating (and, I would imagine, interpreting).
 * You should ask the search committee whether they are talking about translation theory, practice, or literature in translation. If it is a liberal arts college with no grad program, most likely they are asking about translation in practice or literature in translation. But you should ask.
 * I wondered this during my last job search.   There are a lot of job ads that seem to require this, and it's very frustrating for the average Hispanic Lit or Linguistics applicant.  Who can they possibly be targeting with this criteria? Are there actually PhDs in translation out there, or at least programs where people minor in this "discipline" that they might be reaching out to (For the life of me, I've never seen such a program myself)?. Same thing for the positions that seek a PhD in Professional Spanish.  There's no such thing, to my knowledge...are they just looking for a literature person who can "fake it"?
 * Actually, translation studies is a growing subfield across the languages and literatures. I don't know of any official doctoral programs in it either, but a number of universities are finding there's cash to be had in MA certifications in translation studies and want faculty who can help build out such a program.
 * ^Thanks.  That's interesting.  Though it seems like a cart before the horse situation, the way that the job ads are being phrased (as if there are people with doctorates in the field).
 * Professional Spanish? My instinct would be they want someone to teach Spanish for the Professions but they also need to hire someone with a terminal degree for accreditation, even though our terminal degrees aren't that.

'''I am going on the market for the second time but haven't made much progress on my dissertation since last year. About half way through. Since there isn't much to discuss in terms of my progress, should I still ask for new letters from my recommenders or could I use the ones from last year? I'm curious if anyone else has faced this dilemma before and/or is currently in the same situation. Thank you! (10 September)'''


 * A: I would always ask for new letters, even if nothing is added but a new date. Otherwise you're commmunicating to search committees either that your recommenders don't know your current progress, or that there is some problem that is keeping you from asking, or them from being willing to update their letters.

'''I am thinking about applying for a job in an institution. I have several letters of recommendation to send them. However, one of my best letters of recommendation has been written by a professor who will be a member of the search committee for the position in that university. I got my Ph D somewhere else but the professor is teaching at this place at this moment. Should I send this letter or should I send others with less prestige? Could it be a bit compromising for the professor? Has this case ever happened to anyone else?'''
 * A2: I agree with the above. Search committees do pay attention to the date. If they are really interested in you they might ask for an updated letter but better to avoid complications.
 * A3: If last year was unsuccessful, you might also consider that you different materials. While you may have not made TONS of progress, you surely have made some.  Also, these recommenders may speak to other things that you have done in the interim, papers that you have delivered/published, classes you have taught, service to the department you have carried out, etc. That's why it is always important to furnish them with an updated cv and signal to them what they may want to address.
 * The above is all good advice. Always get new letters. In my expeirence, recommenders do not speak on your year-to-year progress. They usually say something like: "This dissertation is the best; defense is this spring!" In fact, this could be a chance to come up with a plan of action with your advisor both to help you advance and also to give your writers something concrete to say on the dissertation and its inevitable/imminentconclusion. Remember: the best dissertation is a finished dissertation. Also: a dissertation is just a dissertation, even the best one. But sometimes they make fine books. Finish this up and look forward to that instead.
 * A: My personal opinion would be to always send your strongest letter. How could it ever make you look bad to have a referee on the search committee? If you are really that concerned about it, you could also send your referee a quick email to get his/her opinion/advice.
 * Depending on the relation between you, this person might need to recuse him or herself from discussing your case anyway (though again, this is not always certain and will have to do with aspects of the departmental culture). If the professor will not need to recuse, then I would not send the letter because then you once more enter into doubt and the letter will be redundant anyway, as you will already have that person as an advocate; if the professor will need to recuse, then I suppose it can't hurt, but then again, it depends on the place (for example, this reference is most definitely well known to the sc, so they will read it in a quite specific way and in light of their perhaps longstanding relation with that individual).
