Who Got the Job?: OFFERS ACCEPTED for AY 2021-22[]

Q: Are any job offers being made? Are positions falling through?

A friend told me that Mississippi State was running searches for poetry and cnf and that both might have been cancelled because the unit lost the lines.

Q: Is it because of a lack of watercooler time that we don't know the names of any of the people who got the jobs this year?

I'm wondering this too. (5/5)

I've seen people post getting positions for Old Dominion, Wisconsin, Tufts, Notre Dame, George Mason, Wesleyan, and a few others. If you search hard enough you can find out who got a majority of the positions this year.

This is a sample size of 1, but most of my interviews this year were in April and May, vs. February and March in prior years. (5/6)

Wisconsin's Own Library Poet in Residence Fellowship at Ripon College (WI)[]

Ripon College has an opening for a Fellowship in Residence. Each year, the Wisconsin’s Own Library Poet in Residence program provides one poet with a semester-long opportunity at Ripon College to devote time and attention to a poetry manuscript in progress.

The Poet in Residence will teach one poetry class; hold one public reading of current work per month (for a total of four readings across Wisconsin); and allow one new poem to be reproduced in a limited edition commemorative broadside. The Poet in Residence will be physically present on the Ripon College campus, will reside in Ripon full-time while classes are in session, and will hold no other professional obligations for the duration of the semester.

The fellowship offers a $15,000 salary for the semester. Other benefits include housing (a taxable benefit, appropriate for a maximum of two people) in a campus apartment; an office and office supplies; monetary support for on-campus presentations and travel to out-of-town presentations. There are no other benefits with this position.

Qualifications: Wisconsin’s Own Library is owned by the General Federation of Women’s Clubs – Wisconsin, with funding provided by the Gwendolyn M. Schultz Charitable Trust. Wisconsin’s Own Library showcases the work of Wisconsin poets. For this reason, the WOL Poet in Residence must demonstrate a considerable attachment to the state, most often by residing (or having resided) in Wisconsin for at least three years. The ideal candidate will hold an MFA or PhD in Creative Writing, demonstrate a robust history of publishing in national literary journals, provide a clear agenda for instructing Ripon College students in the practice of poetry, and propose the continuation of a poetry manuscript that is already well underway. In particular, candidates who demonstrate a commitment to promoting diversity, equality, and inclusion and are dedicated to fostering these values within the liberal arts setting are highly encouraged to apply.

The WOL Poet in Residence will therefore be selected based upon 1) the merits of the poet’s past and present writing and 2) the quality of the teaching plan. Since Ripon College prides itself on the quality of its undergraduate instruction, these two requirements are given equal consideration in the Poet in Residence application. The Poet in Residence will be free to design a semester-long class from a wide range of possibilities, including Intro to Poetry, Poetry Special Topics (such as the Long Poem, Prosody, of Cross-Genre Forms,) or a Poetry-focused literature class.

This position is open to all qualified applicants. Ripon College encourages applications from individuals from underrepresented groups in the professoriate, including, for example, African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, other Pacific Islanders, first generation college students, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, individuals who have followed non-traditional pathways to college due to exceptional talent and motivation in the face of adversity, such as societal, economic or academic disadvantages, and individuals with a demonstrated commitment to applying and including diverse backgrounds and perspectives to learning, scholarship, and leadership in the academy.

Applicants should submit: 1) a letter of Intent, in which they describe the poetry manuscript in progress, as well as the poetry class to be taught at Ripon College, 2) 10-20 sample pages of poetry, at least half of which should include poems from the project manuscript, and 3) evidence of teaching effectiveness (in the form of a curriculum vita, professional references, sample course evaluations, and/or the proposed course syllabus) to Kara Jankowski, Chief of Staff at [[43]]. Applicants may designate whether they prefer to be in residence in the fall or spring semester, although the fall semester is encouraged.

Please submit a completed application by April 15. The successful candidate will be notified in May.

Early Career Fellowship in Creative Writing (Fiction, YA Fiction, Creative Non-Fiction, or Screenwriting): Race, Ethnicity, and Expressive Culture (start Fall 2021)

College/School/Unit: College of Liberal Arts

Department: English

Posted: Nov 13, 2020

Apply By: Jan 8, 2021

Description

The Department of English at the University of Texas at Austin seeks to appoint in Fall 2021 two early career fellows in Creative Writing (Fiction, Young Adult Fiction, Creative Non-Fiction, or Screenwriting) whose work and teaching interests engage with race, ethnicity, and expressive culture.

At UT Austin, we are committed to building a vibrant interdisciplinary community of scholars. If you are an early career writer, postdoctoral fellow or graduating MFA or PhD student interested in pursuing an independent academic career, the UT Austin Provost's Early Career program could be ideal for you.

This training program is designed to allow you to develop and pursue writing and teaching skills upon which you can build a future academic career, here at UT Austin or elsewhere. Join a broad community committed to fostering your independent career growth in writing, teaching, and scholarship. The program will enable you to build a network of emerging scholars like yourself and benefit from the mentorship of top faculty in your field.

As a Provost's Early Career Fellow, you will join an energetic community of other incoming fellows training in different departments across the university. In English, we have designed a 3-year program where you will be mentored in all the different dimensions that make an assistant tenure-track professor successful. A major focus for our creative writing program this year is the study of Race, Ethnicity, and Expressive Culture, and we seek fellows whose fiction, young adult fiction, creative non-fiction, or screenwriting engages with these interests. English looks to build towards a critical mass of diverse faculty taking diverse approaches to creative expression.

Fellows selected for this program will receive a competitive stipend, fringe benefits, relocation funds, travel funds, and discretionary funds. Throughout the duration of the program, you will also participate in university-wide training provided by the Provost's Office to further develop the skills to build a unique writing and teaching portfolio. This cross-departmental cohort experience will be complemented by a departmental mentoring program including participation in communities of practice for both writing and teaching. The fellowship will provide teaching experience with a 1-0 course load designed to afford the fellow time to write for publication. In the final year of the fellowship program, fellows will be invited to apply for an open, tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor of English.

Qualifications

The qualified creative writing fellow will have earned a terminal degree (MFA or PhD), with a concentration in fiction, young adult fiction, creative non-fiction, or screenwriting. We are particularly interested in candidates whose work and teaching explores Latinx, African American, Native American and Indigenous, and/or Asian American expressive cultures. Successful applicants will demonstrate a commitment to expanding practices of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the profession.

Application Instructions

Interested applicants should submit a cover letter that describes their work as a writer and a teacher, curriculum vitae, diversity statement, and a 10-15 page writing sample through Interfolio. Inquiries may be sent to Martin Kevorkian, Chair, Department of English, 204 W. 21st Street B5000, Austin, Texas 78712-1164. Additional materials, including three letters of recommendation, may be requested during the applicant review process. To be guaranteed fullest consideration, applications should be received by January 8, 2021.

Patrick Henry Writing Fellowship (aka Patrick Henry History Fellowship)[]

The Starr Center for the Study of the American Experience invites applications for its full-time residential fellowship, which supports outstanding work on American history by both scholars and non-academics. The deadline for the 2021-22 Patrick Henry History Fellowship is December 1, 2020.

The Center’s Patrick Henry History Fellowship includes a $45,000 stipend, health benefits, faculty privileges, a book allowance, and a nine-month residency (during the academic year 2021-22) in a historic 18th-century house in Chestertown, Md.

Applicants should have a significant project currently in progress — a book, film, oral history archive, podcast series, museum exhibition, or similar work. The project should address the history and/or legacy – broadly defined – of the U.S. founding era and/or the nation’s founding ideas. It might focus directly on early America, or on the myriad ways the questions that preoccupied the nation’s founding generation have shaped America’s later history. Work that contributes to ongoing national conversations about America’s past and present, with the potential to reach a wide public, is particularly sought.

We encourage a broad reading of such terms as “founders” and “founding ideas.” Past fellowship topics have ranged as broadly as the early history of the slave trade, American religious minorities, and the LGBTQ rights movement.

In the past, the Starr Center has awarded this to poets as well as nonfiction writers and academics and has encouraged applications from creative writers.
