==Northeastern University (MA) - Assistant or Associate Professor - MLA INTERVIEW SCHEDULED== βThe English Department at Northeastern University invites applications for an assistant or associate professor specializing in American literature. '''The department has particular needs in the nineteenth century but is open to innovative scholarship from the nineteenth century through the modern and contemporary periods''' of American literature. We welcome interdisciplinary scholarship that will contribute to the broader field of American Studies at Northeastern. The department is developing expertise in transnational and postcolonial literatures as well as in digital humanities and is participating in a college-wide initiative on the internationalization of the curriculum. The successful candidate will have regular opportunities to teach in the graduate program (M.A. and Ph.D.) as well as in a vibrant undergraduate major serving close to 300 undergraduates. The teaching load for research faculty is 2/2, and junior faculty members receive pre-tenure research leave support. Successful candidates must have the PhD in hand by the time of appointment, scholarly achievement appropriate to rank, and a strong commitment to teaching students from diverse backgrounds. Review of applications will begin immediately; for fullest consideration, applications should be submitted by November 16th. To apply, please visit the College of Social Sciences and Humanities website, http://www.northeastern.edu/cssh/, and click on the Faculty Positions link. If you are viewing this posting through a Northeastern University website, simply click the button below. Applicants will be asked to upload letter, c.v., and writing sample. '''FROM MLA JIL (9/13/11)''' Deadline: Nov. 16 Acknowledgment received: 10/24 via email; 10/31 (e-mail) Request for additional materials: 11/22 via e-mail (x4); 11/28 (email); 11/29 (email); 12/5 (email) Rejection (no interview): 12/22 (x2, 12/26) via email, ONLY after I sent a query. See note on 20th C American entry. MLA interview scheduled: 12/22 by phone Rejection (after MLA interview): Campus interview scheduled: Rejection (after campus interview): Offer made: Offer accepted: '''NOTES: ''' Q: Since this job asked for writing sample upfront, was the additional material requested another sample? Or letters of rec? A: Letters of recommendation. (x5) Q: They didn't use the reference contact information in the original application? In other words, did they directly ask you to supply the letters? Thanks. A: They emailed and asked me to direct the recommenders or a dossier service to send letters directly to the search committee. (x5) Not sure why they didn't contact referees directly. Q: If folks who have been contacted for recs don't mind, could you let us know whether you applied at the Assistat or Associate level? Just hoping to get a little better sense of how the search has developed. Thanks very much. A: I applied at the advanced assistant level (currently in 5th year of tenure track elsewhere). A: I'm mid Associate level. A: I got a letters request and I'm ABD, so they are, apparently, considering ABD's and fresh PhD's. However, my profile exactly fits the desired subspecialties, so that may have something to do with it. (x2) A: 1 1/2 years out of PhD. Q: If the person being interviewed doesn't mind answering: what is your rank? A: Advanced asst. Q: Has anyone heard anything post-MLA? A: I too had expected to hear something by this point. I wonder if logistical issues are holding them up, or if there's no one on the wiki who made it to the visit stage? It would be nice to know one way or another. They seemed like a very well-organized committee, so that's why I'm inclinded to believe they've been held up by something beyond their control. A: Rumor has it that campus invites have gone out.
