==Schools That Made Offers == '''PLEASE INCLUDE A DATE ON ACCEPTED OFFERS''' <br />'''OFFER PROTOCOL QUESTION: ''' '''How common/reasonable/expected is it to bargain once an offer is extended and/or how does a counter-offer work?''' A: Very reasonable. You should be able to negotiate for at least a few thousand more in salary than your initial offer and possibly other perks: tech budget (or start-up funds), travel, reduced teaching in first year etc... depending on the institution. From what I have seen, a counter offer is the best negotiating tool, when you can say to the university of preference that another university is offering you more money, less teaching etc... Of course, you will have to prove it in writing... '''Poetry'''<br /> College of Staten Island. Offer (2/3) 2 (see discusssion below about the "2")<br />Loyola Chicago. Offer accepted (2/25).<br />Illinois State U: "An offer has been extended and accepted" (email via the chair)<br />U of Northern Colorado: Offer extended and declined; second offer extended<br />East Tenessee State U: Offer extended (3/2); phone interviews the previous week for 4 finalists<br />CU-Boulder: Offer accepted (3/5)<br />Montclair State: Offer accepted (3/6)<br />Ohio Northern: Offer accepted<br />University of Oregon: Offer accepted<br />Ohio State-Lima: Offer accepted<br />NMSU extended offer (source please?)<br />CU-Denver: offer accepted<br />Washington College: Offer accepted<br />Bethany College: Offer accepted LSU: Offer extended UC-San Diego: Offer extended and THEN frozen (see below) 6/25 * '''Fiction''' ATU. job offered and accepted (1/30)<br />UNT job offered and accepted (2/13)<br />UNCG job offered and accepted (2/20)<br />Mills offer accepted (3/10)<br />who took this job? curious. </br><br />Patricia Powell took the Mills job.<br /> *AU Colby-Sawyer (3/10 - email from school)<br />Kansas State U (3/11 email) <br> Western Illinois University job offered and accepted (3/13) <br> University of Montevallo (4/6/09 - per website- see discussion below) Concordia College (4/8/09 - per website) Point Park U (4/20/09 - "our offer has been accepted") '''Non-Fiction''' * '''Playwriting/Screenwriting''' * '''Open/Multi-Genre''' 1. Millsaps: '''Steve Kistulentz''<br />'''''2. George Washington U: offer extended (info via search chair) '''Gregory Pardlo''' 3. Claremont Mckenna advertised for assistant professor. (6/11/09)''' Jamaica Kincaid'''!!!!!! '''Tenure track assistant professor (poetry) positions:'''<br />(not including canceled/postponed/frozen searches)<br /> 0. Ball State 1. Bethany College 2. Carnegie Mellon: '''Yona Harvey '''(MFA from OSU; already an Instructor at CMU, married to another poetry faculty member) '''Q: book???? '''A: no book (although she is a very accomplished and well-published poet). '''NB: '''This job is a renewable contract teaching position, not a tenure-track position, so different hiring criteria may apply. Some removed (and shouldn't have) the fact that Harvey is the wife of Carnegie Mellon poetry faculty member Terrence Hayes. 3. Case Western: '''Sarah Gridley''' (inside candidate) 4. CUNY Staten Island: '''Tyehimba Jess '''(MFA, NYU; one book of poems leadbelly won the 2004 National Poetry Series; Whiting Award; NEA recipient) and '''Patricia Smith '''(MFA, Stonecoast; 5 books of poems, including a 2005 National Poetry Series winner and "Blood Dazzler," a finalist for the 2008 National Book Award) 5. Illinois State: '''Duriel Harris''' (MA NYU, PhD U Illinois Chicago, one book Elixir Press, 2003) 6. Lewis-Clark 7. Loyola: '''Joshua Marie Wilkinson '''(MFA Arizona, PhD Denver, 4 books of poems; visiting at Loyola 2007-09) 8. LSU: '''Lara Glenum''' (MFA UVA, PhD UGA; 2 books of poetry, editor of anthology (forthcoming), translator, multi-media work) 9. Montclair: '''Susan B. A. Somers-Willett''' (MA and PhD, U of Texas at Austin, 2 books of poetry, 1 book of criticism) 10. NMSU 11. Ohio Northern: '''Kathryn Cowles''' (MA and PhD Utah, 1 book of poetry) 12. Ohio State-Lima: '''Doug Sutton-Ramspeck''' (M.F.A. Irvine, 1 book (forthcoming), husband of faculty member. Inside candidate.) 13. Point Park 14. Seton Hall 15. St. John's 16. Tennessee State (ETSU) 17. Texas State: '''Ogaga Ifowodo '''(MFA Cornell, 4 books; international human rights activist and former Nigerian political prisoner) 18. Trinity College 19. UC San Diego: '''Ben Doller''' (MFA University of Iowa, 2 books, Whitman Award); UCSD extended its offer to Ben on April 17 but couldn't move the paperwork up the bureaucratic channels in time to actually go through by the cut off date of June 8. The position has now been frozen permanently, due to the ending fiscal year and California's longtime coming budget crisis--what Gov. Terminator calls "California's day of reckoning." 20. UC Santa Cruz: 21. UC Boulder : '''Noah Eli Gordon''' (MFA Umass Amherst, 6 or 7 books, National Poetry Series, Green Rose Prize, Sawtooth Prize, etc.) 22. UC Denver: '''Brian Barker''' (MFA George Mason, PhD Univ of Houston, 1 book-Tupelo Press Editor's Prize) 23. Northern Colorado 24. Oregon: '''Geri Doran '''(MFA U of Florida, 1 book--Walt Whitman Award; Stegner Fellow, Amy Lowell Fellow). She's listed as a visiting poet--was it a visiting job? I thought it was full-time. 25. U of Rochester: '''Jennifer Grotz''' 26. Washburn U: '''Eric McHenry''' 27. Washington College: '''Jehanne Dubrow '''(MFA Maryland, PhD University of Nebraska-Lincoln, 3 books—1 out, two in press. Visiting Asst. Prof there this year--inside candidate) 28. Willamette 29. York: '''Travis Kurowski '''(PhD University of Southern Mississippi) — of course this is only after the school emailed several of the candidates saying they were going to re-open the search and asked if said candidates would still be interested in a campus interview. However, after contacting candidates with this news, they did not actually invite them. They also did not notify them that York had filled the position. Although the MLA interview went well and they seemed like nice enough people, they got candidates' hopes up and nothing is more unforgivable than that in times like these. <br />'''Visiting positions:'''<br />1. Northwestern (two years)<br />2. George Washington (one year)<br />3. Columbia College Chicago (one year)<br />4. Montana (two years) 5. DePauw University/Mary Field Chair (one year)<br /><br />'''Fellowships:'''<br />1. Middlebury/Frost: '''Darcie Dennigan'''<br />2. Hodder: Poetry '''Michael Dickman. '''1 book Copper Canyon. Fiction '''Zachary Lazar.'''<br />3. Radcliffe (rejection letter said they had 853 applicants. Oy!) '''What about fiction writers? Do we want to start a similar list? ''' yes!!!! '''Why are the fiction folks so quiet? ''' because we don't know ANYTHING! from the majority of jobs i applied for i've heard NOTHING, absolutely nothing. i'm GRATEFUL for rejection letters at this point! i wonder if most of these places are going to hire anyone at all, or if the schools are all in such dire financial straits that the jobs are just disappearing, without a trace... Same here. I've even emailed the chairs for some of the silent schools and still haven't heard a thing. The least they can do is let us know that A) they're not interested in our application, or B) the search is cancelled. Ditto, one & two. I find it so appalling the way this process works. I wouldn't have minded a simple "No thanks." But hearing nothing is outrageous, especially if we met them face to face! '''Fiction jobs offered and accepted:''' 1. Arkansas Tech 2. UNC-Greensboro: '''Holly Goddard Jones''' 3. Kansas State: '''Katherine Karlin''' (PhD from USC, widely published) 4. Mills '''Patricia Powell''' (MFA, Brown, 4 novels) 5. Colby-Sawyer 6. NW Missouri State 7. Arizona State 8. University of North Texas 9. Western Illinois: '''Charles McLeod''' 10. Syracuse '''Dana Spiotta''' (or so the website seems to indicate) 11. Skidmore: '''Darryl Pinckney''' 12. Emerson: '''Steve Yarbrough''' 13. St. Lawrence (Viebranz) 14. Wesleyan 15. Bowdoin 16. Johnson State HEY -- When did this Johnson State offer get accepted? Can anyone provide details? '''A:''' Oh! no! This was just supposed to be a list of ALL the jobs that were advertised this year, with the idea that people will fill in the details of who gets the jobs when such information becomes available. Does that make sense? A: Oops. Yep. That makes sense. 17. Montevallo 18. NYU '''Zadie Smith '''and '''Jonathan Lethem. '''No, really (letter circa 7/10). 19. The New School: '''Jennifer Gilmore''' 20. Holy Cross: '''Leah Hager Cohen''' 21. Harvard (Briggs-Copeland): crazy as this may seem, word on the street is: '''Amy Hempel''' 22. Florida International 23. University of Nebraska-Omaha 24. Nebraska Wesleyan 25. Concordia College (MN) 26. Texas State 27. New Mexico State: '''Robin Romm''' 28. University of Alabama Birmingham: '''Kerry Madden''' 29. American 30. Oakland 31. Temple: '''Don Lee''' 32. U. of Michigan: '''Vasugi Ganeshananthan''' 33. U. T. Austin: '''Elizabeth McCracken''' 34. Portland State: '''Tom Bissell & Charles D'Ambrosio''' 35. University of Louisiana-Lafayette: '''Kate Bernheimer''' '''Q: Does anyone want to post (anonymously) salaries or details for positions (either new or old)? '''It might be one way to sort of unionize or at least get a sense of how much the economy is impacting our situations specifically. E.g. At a Research I State School in the Mid-West, I was hired in 2008 as Assistant Professor of Creative Writing at $58,000, 3/2 teaching load, mosly CW some Comp. $500/year for Professional Development, $2000 to relocate. No spousal teaching. '''A: Such a page already exists here:''' http://academicjobs.wikia.com/wiki/English_Lit_Salaries_2009-2010 Nice. --Are CW salaries comparable to Lit do u think? Thank You!
