SpanishPositions

IMPORTANT NOTE: The old wiki is still in use for Spanish. For now, I'm archiving information as of 12/15 here in case we become targets of the wiki vandals as well.

Note: this page has been re-formatted to look like last year's wiki. The CCCC has been taken out.

The Any news from... section has been moved to below the MLA interview list. An archived discussion section was added. The personal stats section was deleted (by someone else).

PLEASE DO NOT DELETE INFORMATION THAT HAS BEEN POSTED!! Could we please log the sections that are (re)moved for this page in this section? Also, if you are deleting something, even if it's a snarky discussion, could we maybe move it to the discussion section at the very bottom instead of just deleting it?

Leave space after the last entry in a category!

Circulate this link so that it may be more reliable, no?

FYI: many of the academic wikis have been vandalized and deleted. We, fortunately, have not been victims of this so far. Saving the info here periodically might be a good idea in case they decide to do the same to us. There's also a new wiki that we can use if this happens (url is found on the CHI forum disscussion).

Active discussions [Partial edit]

Should we delete the job listings section? There are only 2 of hundreds of jobs. Why is it that on several occasions in trying to post here only a part of one of the two security words was visible?

Schools with Cancelled Searches [Partial edit]

Starting Salaries [Partial edit]

Please indicate the following:

School size, rank/position, starting salary, teaching load, geographical region, urban/rural, misc comments. Please specify as well candidate status and job level: ABD, Post-Doc, TT, non-TT, starting Assistant, advanced Assistant, Associate, etc. since these factors influence salary levels too. Would be interesting to see gender given that everyone says women receive lower innitial offers and are less likely to negotiate! For example: Research I, starting assistant prof., $54k, 2/3, midwest, small city, negotiated up from $53k

1) Small Liberal Arts College, starting assistant professor, $50K, 3-1-3 (1 is january term) East Coast, Virginia, suburb of large city, female (congratulations!) Thank you! I'm excited!

Archived discussion section [Partial edit] Please place discussions that have ended and/or are no longer relevant for the active discussions section. This way there is an archive and things just don't disappear.

Archived 12/15 One thought: What if we revisit the stats section after the MLA? I think it is interesting in terms of sheer numbers and stats but right now it adds an unwanted element of competition.

The stats seem quite useless in any case because they don't account for types of institutions or the fields of the candidates (at least in this iteration, the options seemed to be "Latin American" or "Peninsular." We're all different and we're all lucky not to be looking for a job in French. Very true! Or English or history! We ARE lucky.
