Guide for Using the Job Information List

US and Canadian Departments

The main body of the List, arranged in alphabetical order by state, contains information on definite or possible vacancies, comments on notices published in past issues (e.g., that a previously announced position has been filled), and notices from departments that expect no vacancies but would nevertheless like to keep résumés on file.

Read through this section item by item to see which departments would welcome your letter of application or inquiry at this time. Send let ters only to departments expressing an interest in a person with your qualifications. If a notice states that no vacancies are expected but that the department would like to maintain a file of prospective can di dates, you must decide in each case whether it is worthwhile to write.

General Advice for Candidates

Be sure that your dossier (transcript, letters of recommendation, and other material) is ready to be sent out by your placement bureau to any department that requests it. Prepare and duplicate a one-page vita sheet to enclose with any letters of application or inquiry. In your letter of application, it is probably wise to express a willingness to be interviewed at the department’s convenience. Professional meetings provide a convenient opportunity for such in-terviews (see list of upcoming meetings below).

While it is important to begin to search for a position immediately, you should be aware that hiring goes on all year. Surveys indicate that only about half of all English and foreign language departments have begun recruiting by the end of December and that the majority of departments do not complete the recruiting process until spring, in some cases until summer.

Bear in mind that the candidate who has not limited his or her search for a new position to a particular geographi-cal area or kind of institution is most likely to find a position. Do not discount the small colleges where one often has the opportunity to teach a wide selection of courses to students of varied backgrounds.

Notice on Tenure Policies

The Modern Language Association recommends that department administrators and their representatives inform candidates before or during the interview about prospects for tenure in the specific position under consideration and about the tenure policies and practices in their departments and institutions. If the information is not offered, candidates are urged to inquire about these policies.

Acknowledgment of Applications

Acting on a recommendation from the MLA Delegate Assembly, the MLA Executive Council has adopted a policy calling for departments to acknowledge all applications for announced positions.

MLA Policy on the Reimbursement of Job Seekers

The following policies were recommended by the Delegate Assembly in December 1999 and approved by the MLA Executive Council in February 2000.

It is MLA policy that: •Departmentsthatrequirethatjobapplicantssendtheirapplicationmaterialsbyexpresscarrierreimbursethose

v MLAJOBINFORMATIONLIST • ENGLISHEDITION • OCTOBER2012

I. General Principles

1. Timely, accurate, and open communication between candidates and departments can ensure an atmosphere of collegiality, even when the job market is tight or institutional circumstances are uncertain. Departments help create such an atmosphere when they recognize how vulnerable candidates may feel during a job search; candi-dates help when they recognize that departments may be affected by institutional policies largely beyond their control. All parties involved in a job search should conduct themselves professionally.

2. All job candidates should be treated equitably. Departments should adhere to nondiscrimination and affirmative action guidelines, taking particular care not to discriminate on the basis of race, ethnic or national origin, reli-gion, disability, age, gender, or sexual orientation. All parties need to respect principles of confidentiality.

II. Advertising and Initial Screening

1. Advertisements for an opening should be as specific as possible about the availability of the opening (definite, likely, or possible), the type of appointment (tenure-track or non-tenure-track), minimum degree requirements, field(s) of expertise, minimum teaching experience, and any other requirements or criteria.

2. Applicants should be allowed ample time to respond to advertisements of openings, and deadlines for applica-tions should be specified whenever possible. Applications should be accepted for at least two weeks after the announced publication date for a given print issue of the (about 15 October, 15 November, 15 February, and 15 April). In all cases the online edition of the is the most current and complete. After October some positions posted online may not appear in any print issue.

3. Applications submitted in response to announcements should be acknowledged promptly and courteously. Fol-lowing the initial screening, all applicants should be informed of their status and the department’s projected timetable for making decisions about interviews at the MLA convention.

III. Preparing Applications

1. The candidate should prepare a dossier, including a letter of application, curriculum vitae, transcript(s), and let-ters of recommendation, by mid-September, when the becomes available for searching online. It is the candi-date’s responsibility to make sure that all requested materials are supplied.

2. For the purpose of initial screening, a letter of application and dossier should normally suffice. Candidates should realize that the application process can be costly. To save all parties time and money, the committee rec-ommends that departments request writing samples and other material only after a preliminary list of candidates has been chosen.

IV. Setting Up MLA Interviews

1. Candidates should realize that the department advertising in the Job Information List normally expects candidates to attend the MLA convention for screening interviews. Candidates who do not attend the convention may therefore be at a disadvantage. In such cases a telephone interview may be an appropriate alternative. Depart-ments and candidates should realize that convention attendance is generally the most efficient and least expen-sive way to conduct interviews. Departments should make every effort to be represented at the convention by at least one member of the search committee.

2. Departments need to be able to reach candidates quickly to schedule MLA convention interviews. Candidates, especially those who plan to travel during the holidays, should supply departments with complete itineraries including telephone numbers. Because of the expenses related to convention attendance, departments should notify all candidates, including those not invited for interviews, of their status as early as possible.

Advice to Search Committee Members and Job Seekers onFaculty Recruitment and HiringPrepared by the MLA Committee on Academic Freedom and Professional Rights and Responsibilities

vi MLAJOBINFORMATIONLIST • ENGLISHEDITION • OCTOBER2012

3. Candidates applying from outside North America should have a contact in the United States to receive mail and messages. Since few departments have resources to bring candidates to on-campus interviews from outside North America, candidates who reside abroad should determine arrangements for any on-campus interviews during MLA convention interviews.

4. Departments need to be sure candidates know where the interview is taking place. The Job Information Center is set up to provide this information. If you plan to conduct interviews in the Job Information Center, you must come to the center in person and be assigned a table in the interview area. If you are interviewing in a hotel room, remember that hotel switchboard personnel are not authorized to disclose room numbers. The Job Infor-mation Center will provide either a cell phone contact number or hotel room number to candidates with whom your department has set up appointments, as you direct. To take advantage of this service, you need to register information about the location for MLA convention interviews by logging in to your department’s listings at the MLA Web site and filling out the online convention interview location form. Information may be entered and updated at any time between 1 November and the dates of the convention. Departments scheduled to begin interviewing on the first afternoon of the convention may need to arrive the day before, to avoid missing ap-pointments because of travel delays or delays in checking in to hotels.

5. Departments and candidates should plan realistically and adhere closely to schedules. When arranging inter-views, candidates should leave as much time as possible between appointments, keeping in mind that they may have to deal with crowded elevators, slow meal service, or delayed shuttle buses. Departments should remember that interviews that run late may prevent candidates from keeping other appointments and that one instance of lateness can multiply into a whole series of missed or delayed interviews.

6. Whether held on or off campus, in person or by telephone, interviews should be conducted in a professional manner, permitting candidates adequate opportunity to explain and demonstrate their qualifications. Candi-dates and departments should review “Dos and Don’ts for Interviews,” revised in 2007 by CAFPRR and re-printed each October in the Job Information List.

7. Interviewers should make every effort to accommodate candidates with disabilities.

V. Interviewing on Campus

1. Departments inviting candidates for on-campus interviews should pay candidates’ expenses, following standard institutional policies for travel reimbursement. Candidates should be told approximately how many others are being invited for on-campus interviews.

2. On-campus interviews represent a large investment of time and money for departments; therefore, candidates should not accept on-campus interviews if they are not seriously interested in the position. Before traveling to a campus, candidates should thoroughly research the department’s faculty and programs. Candidates should determine whether a salary range and teaching load have been established for the position and should decide in advance what their own minimum requirements are. It is important that candidates also determine in advance whether their decisions may be influenced by special circumstances that should be communicated to the chair.

3. A department that invites a candidate to interview on its campus has an obligation to (a) arrange the logistics of the candidate’s stay (local transportation, lodging [including disability accommodations], meals); (b) set up interviews with faculty members and administrators; (c) accommodate candidates’ special needs; (d) provide a tour of the campus and its facilities; (e) provide adequate information about the department, the university, and the community; (f ) plan social activities for the candidate; and (g) inform the candidate of the procedures and timetable for reimbursement.

4. Candidates and members of search committees should be aware that visits to a campus, meals and other social activities included, are all inherent parts of the interview and should be conducted accordingly.

5. Members of departments and search committees should not discuss other candidates with a visiting candidate.

VI. Negotiating an Offer

1. To minimize misunderstanding and anxiety during negotiations about offers, departments should establish ground rules in advance and let candidates know what these are before any offers are made. Departments should communicate with candidates regularly and openly about the status of the search process. All parties should be aware that, especially in times of fiscal uncertainty, circumstances beyond the institution’s control may delay or disrupt the hiring process.

vii MLAJOBINFORMATIONLIST • ENGLISHEDITION • OCTOBER2012

2. No candidate should be required before 22 January to give a final answer to an offer of a position without ten-ure for the following academic year, however early an offer is tendered. A formal good faith offer is a written document on official letterhead from an authorized representative of the institution (e-mail transmission of of-fers is not recommended). This document should stipulate the terms of appointment. Candidates should be af-forded a minimum of two weeks following receipt to accept or reject a formal offer.

The committee welcomes comments and suggestions from members. Direct correspondence to Staff Liaison, Committee on Aca-demic Freedom and Professional Rights and Responsibilities, MLA, 26 Broadway, 3rd floor, New York, NY 10004-1789, or to [email protected] or dgoldberg@mla .org. Rev. March 2006.

viii MLAJOBINFORMATIONLIST • ENGLISHEDITION • OCTOBER2012

Preparation

❑ Have you completed your dissertation? If not, do you have a realistic schedule for completing it?

❏ Have you defined the kind(s) of institution(s) where you would like to teach?

❏ Have you informed yourself about the job market? Have you consulted, for example, the Job Information List, the Chronicle of Higher Education, and the ADE Bulletin or ADFL Bulletin about the job situation?

❏ Have you spoken to recently hired faculty members about their experiences in the job market?

❏ Have you been realistic in defining the kinds of spe-cialized courses you are qualified to teach? Have you articulated what you have to offer as a scholar and a teacher? What are the limits of the jobs for which you really qualify?

❏ Have you spoken to one or more of the following persons about the job search: your department place-ment officer, your department graduate adviser, your dissertation adviser, your department placement committee, other faculty members who know you well and who have shown interest in your work?

❏ Have you requested from your department or place-ment off ice standardized forms for your letters of recommendation?

❏ Have you requested letters from three to five faculty members who feel positively about you and who know your course work, dissertation, and teaching?

❏ Have you given your referees sufficient information about your record and at least several weeks to pre-pare their letters of recommendation?

❏ Have you estimated the costs of the job search? Al-though costs will vary, it is reasonable to expect to spend at least $700 for travel, lodging, food, and incidentals when attending the MLA convention. Remember too that you may have duplicating and postage expenses, fees charged by the placement of-fice for sending your dossier, and phone charges. Al-though you should expect to be reimbursed for travel to on-campus interviews, you will probably have to pay airfare in advance. It is a good idea to establish credit and acquire a credit card if possible. When

you are called for an on-campus interview, be sure to ask whether your expenses will be reimbursed.

❏ Have you requested a mock interview? If your de-partment does not regularly schedule mock inter-views for job candidates, have you discussed with several faculty members the kinds of questions you can expect to be asked and issues to be discussed?

❏ Have you considered requesting disability-related accommodations to facilitate your interview?

The MLA Convention

❏ Have you planned your interview schedule for the MLA convention, making sure that you have al-lowed enough time to get from one hotel to another?

❏ Do you have the information you need about the school and the department to which you have ap-plied (e.g., course offerings, college and university requirements, faculty members)?

❏ Have you reviewed the list of “dos and don’ts” for interviewees?

The On-Campus Interview

❏ Have you determined beforehand the schedule of your visit and the meetings you will be asked to take part in? Have you asked the department to add things to your itinerary (e.g., a tour of the library, a meeting with students) that were not originally scheduled?

❏ Have you inquired in advance of your trip whether you will be reimbursed for expenses you incur for the on-campus interview? Have you done careful research beforehand about the faculty and curricu-lum of the school you will be visiting?

❏ Will you be required to make a formal presentation to faculty and/or students while on campus? If so, have you carefully prepared this presentation? Are you prepared to discuss your dissertation in detail?

❏ Have you received al l the information you wil l need in order to make a decision if offered a job—information about salary, fringe benef its, moving expenses, tenure policies, any other terms of the contract, and the amount of time you will have to consider the offer?

Checklist for Job SeekersThe MLA Committee on Careers offers this checklist as an aid for first-time job seekers and as a guide for graduate departments about ways they can facilitate the placement of their graduates. As an association, the MLA has a vital interest in establishing procedures and practices that make the job search as effective and professional as possible.

ix MLAJOBINFORMATIONLIST • ENGLISHEDITION • OCTOBER2012

❏ Have you informed the department of any necessary disability- related accommodations to facilitate your interview?

After an Offer Is Made

❏ Are you well informed about the general f inancial health of the college or university, its enrollment trends, its support for the humanities, the distribution of majors, and the faculty members in your discipline?

❏ Are you clear about what your own teaching re-sponsibil ities wil l be? Do you know what your course load and approximate class sizes will be?

❏ Do your research interests have a clear place in the department? Have you asked about support for your research, including the availability of grants, sabbat-ical and released time?

❏ Do you know the criteria and procedures for tenure and promotion?

❏ Do you have an informed opinion about the advan-tages and disadvantages of living in the city or town where the college or university is located? Have you asked, for example, about housing, the cost of liv-ing, cultural and social opportunities, local politics, and public schools?

❏ You should not be required to respond before 22 January to an offer of a position without ten-ure for the following academic year. If you receive an offer between 22 January and the middle of the summer, you should be allowed two weeks to make

a decision. But once you have def initely made up your mind about an offer, you should accept or re-ject it immediately: keep in mind that other candi-dates will be affected by your decision.

Things to Remember If You Don’t Get an Offer

❏ The hiring season is not over in January; only the first wave has passed by then.

❏ While many offers are made in January, an offer in February does not necessarily mean that you are a second choice. It may mean that the department has had to wait a month to reconvene its search com-mittee or receive final approval for funding.

❏ You may be on the market too early. The depart-ment may not have been convinced that you will ac-tually finish your dissertation by the time specified.

❏ You may have pinned your hopes on too narrow a selection of schools.

❏ You can still inquire about your status at places where you have interviewed. You may still be on their lists.

❏ New jobs open up after the MLA convention. Keep reading the Job Information List through the summer supplement and consult the advertisements in the Chronicle of Higher Education and other professional publications.

❏ There will be another job market next year. Start preparing for it now. The current search will have given you valuable experience.

The Interviewer

Dos and Don’tsfor MLA Convention Interviewsby Herbert Lederer, University of Connecticut with revisions by the Committee on Academic Freedom and Professional Rights and Responsibilities, 2007

The job interview is an event that has caused sufficient anxiety for both interviewer and interviewee to prompt a number of publications dealing with the topic. In recent years, concern about discrimination in the hiring process has led to a heightened awareness of the possibility of discriminatory intent in the questions asked by interviewers. In order to facilitate the conduct of interviews arranged through the MLA Job Information Service, guidelines have been developed for both interviewers and job candidates.

DoSchedule interviews at reasonable times and allow for

adequate time.Leave time between interviews to review dossiers and

make postinterview notes.Read all the information your department has re-

quested in advance.Ensure freedom from interruption (silence cell phones).Be on time.Ask candidate’s permission to take notes.Introduce other department members present.Establish and maintain a pleasant atmosphere.Be courteous.Try to put candidate at ease.Be aware of your biases.Ask specific questions.Elicit all relevant information.Maintain eye contact.Ask appropriate questions; explore areas such as educa-

tion, experience, special interests or skills, familiar-ity with textbooks, teaching methods, professional organizations, and future expectations.

Discuss candidate’s attitude toward teaching and re-search in language and literature.

Elicit candidate’s interest in specific job.Provide candidate with clear picture of job.Explain operation of school and department.Describe working conditions (course load, other du-

ties, salary, fringes, etc.).Allow time for candidate’s questions.Listen attentively.Ask follow-up questions for clarification or further

detail.Inform candidate of probable time of decision.Follow the Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines

in meeting requests for accommodations.

Don’tInterview more than one candidate at a time.Conduct major portion of interview during a meal.Ask questions about age, socioeconomic status, marital

status, children, religion, medical or disability sta-tus, sexual orientation, or national origin.

Judge candidates on any criteria that are not profes-sional, scholarly, or intellectual.

Discuss candidate’s dress or appearance.Display boredom.Doodle.Produce stress intentionally.Argue with candidate.Appear hostile to candidate.Be patronizing.Ask for information already in dossier.Ask leading questions.Ask yes-no questions if they can be avoided.Get off on tangents.Do all the talking.Describe job in negative terms.Oversell position.Downgrade other institutions or candidates.Tape-record or videotape.Require candidates to come to campus at their own

expense.Make a job offer until all interviews are concluded.Assume that the candidate’s home institution makes

him or her unsuitable for your department.

xi MLAJOBINFORMATIONLIST • ENGLISHEDITION • OCTOBER2012

DoReview job specifications.Research thoroughly departments and institutions with

which you have interviews.Be aware that any materials that you have posted on-

line (e.g., on MySpace, Facebook, blogs, public e-mail discussion lists or forums) may be viewed by poten-tial employers.

Be aware that it is your right to request specific accom-modations to make the interview accessible.

Prepare questions you want to ask (e.g., about teaching load, class size, number of majors, range of courses you will teach, library resources).

Request of your department some practice interview-ing; use the opportunity to analyze your strengths and weaknesses.

Allow yourself an hour between interviews if possible.Be prepared to discuss approaches to languages and lit-

erature teaching.Think about courses and texts you would like to teach

(be prepared to distribute sample syllabi).Be aware of nervousness.Come on time and follow all the usual protocols of

politeness.Silence cell phone.Be aware of body language (your own and inter-

viewer’s).Project interest and enthusiasm, speak up clearly, lis-

ten attentively, and avoid using terms such as “you know,” “like,” and so on.

goals.Summarize your qualifications for the job.Find out when decisions will be made.Write follow-up thank-you letter.

Don’tBe laconic or loquacious.Be either apologetic or arrogant.Appear opinionated or contentious.Argue with interviewer.Let yourself be intimidated.Volunteer negative information.Downgrade other candidates, jobs, or institutions.Get off the track or ramble.Overstay your welcome.Ask about salary yet.

The Candidate

xii MLAJOBINFORMATIONLIST • ENGLISHEDITION • OCTOBER2012

Investigations by the American Association of University Professors of the administrations of the institutions listed below show that, as evidenced by a past violation, they are not observing the generally recognized principles of academic freedom and tenure endorsed by this Association, the Association of American Colleges and Universities, and more than 150 other professional and educational organizations. The 1940 Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom and Tenure may be found in the May-June 1990 issue of Academe.

This list is published for the purpose of informing Association members, the profession at large, and the public that unsatisfactory conditions of academic freedom and tenure have been found to prevail at these institutions. Names are placed on or removed from this censure list by vote of the Association’s Annual Meeting.

Placing the name of an institution on this list does not mean that censure is visited either upon the whole of the institution or upon the faculty, but specifically upon its present administration. The term “administration” includes the administrative officers and the governing board of the institution. This censure does not affect the eligibility of nonmembers for membership in the Association, nor does it affect the individual rights of members at the institu-tion in question.

Members of the Association have often considered it to be their duty, in order to indicate their support of the princi-ples violated, to refrain from accepting appointment to an institution so long as it remains on the censure list. Since circumstances differ widely from case to case, the Association does not assert that such an unqualified obligation exists for its members; it does urge that, before accepting appointments, they seek information on present conditions of academic freedom and tenure from the Association’s Washington office and prospective departmental colleagues. The Association leaves it to the dis cretion of the individual, possessed of the facts, to make the proper decision.

The censured administrations, with dates of censuring, are listed below. Reports were published as indicated by the Bulle-tin or Academe citations in parentheses following each listing. Reference should also be made to “Developments Relating to Censure by the Association” and to the “Report of Committee A,” each of which appears annually in Academe.

xiv MLAJOBINFORMATIONLIST • ENGLISHEDITION • OCTOBER2012

The expansion of the adjunct ranks in language and literature departments over the past two decades threatens the integrity of the profession and instructional programs. The practice of hiring numerous adjunct faculty members year after year to teach courses required of large numbers of undergraduates undermines professional and educa-tional standards and academic freedom. Although adjunct appointments can add significant dimensions to curricula and some individuals prefer to accept only adjunct appointments because of other commitments, few adjunct ap-pointments are made for educationally sound reasons. Indeed, the primary motivation for most of these appoint-ments is to reduce the cost of instruction.

Adjunct faculty members fall into two groups: part-time instructors and non-tenure-track full-time instructors. The first group includes both instructors who are clearly temporary members of a department and instructors who teach from year to year and become virtually permanent. Members of the second group have full teaching loads but, as non-tenure-track faculty members, lack the institutional commitment given to their tenure-track col-leagues. Graduate students are distinct from both groups.

The conditions under which most adjunct teachers are employed define them as nonprofessionals. Often they are hired quickly, as last-minute replacements. They receive little recognition or respect for their contributions to their departments; almost always they are paid inequitably and receive no fringe benefits.

Excessive reliance on an adjunct faculty can damage individual faculty members, students, institutions, and the profession. For the sake of an institution’s economic welfare, adjunct faculty members are often denied the security that adequate salary, health insurance, and professional status can provide. The institution, in turn, suffers through the creation of a two-tiered system in which faculty members have different responsibilities and expectations.

In the light of these concerns, the MLA urges college and university administrators to make new and concerted efforts to eliminate excessive and irresponsible adjunct faculty appointments, to improve employment conditions for essential adjunct faculty members, and to recognize the professional status and important contributions of such teachers.

The MLA offers the following guidelines for the employment of fac ulty members.

Guidelines

1. Each department should establish an appropriate limit on the number of adjunct faculty members in relation to the number of tenured or tenure-track faculty members and of graduate students serving as apprentice teachers. The norm in a department should be the tenured or tenure-track position. As tenured faculty members retire, they should be replaced by tenure-track faculty members. Departments that routinely assign a large part of undergradu-ate instruction to adjunct faculty members should reconsider their staffing practices.

2. All adjunct faculty members should be treated as professionals. Each department should develop a set of guidelines for adjunct faculty employment. These guidelines may vary from institution to institution but should address the following concerns:

a. Adjunct faculty members should be hired, reviewed, and given teaching assignments according to processes comparable to those established for the tenured or tenure-track faculty members.

b. They should be given mailboxes, office space, and clerical support.c. They should receive adequate introduction to their teaching assignments, departments, and institutions.d. They should be paid equitable prorated salaries and should receive basic benefits such as health insurance.e. They should be eligible for incentives that foster professional development, including merit raises and

funds for research and travel.f. As appropriate, they should participate in determining departmental and institutional policies.

MLA Statement on the Use of

Part-Time and Full-Time Adjunct Faculty MembersThe following statement on the use of part-time and full-time adjunct faculty members was developed by an ad hoc committee of the Association of Departments of English and adopted by the MLA Executive Council in February 1994.

Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Humanities 17314Applytothispositionathttps://secure.interfolio.com/apply/15112

The Jackman Humanities Institute at the University of Toronto seeks 3 Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellows for a two-year appointment 2013–2015 with research relevant to the 2013–14 theme:

Translation and the Multiplicity of Languages

What are the implications of knowing more than one language? From mythic reflections on the Tower of Babel through contemporary philosophical reflections on the question of translation, the multiplicity of languages has been an ongoing focus of inquiry. How is translation possible, both in the specific sense of translating speech or texts, but also in the larger sense of bringing meaning from one system to another, including from speech to writing? How do we conceive of languages of music, as well as song; icons and symbols as well as scripts? How best can we interpret the exchanges between languages in a world of multilingual interactions? In the ancient Near East, for example, a number of written bilingual texts sometimes reflect a local language and lingua franca, other times reflect a political orientation and appeasement or defiance. Translation between cultures and languages produce unintended results, often creating new originals. Amidst these multiple languages, what is the impact of the untranslatable?

Fellowships begin 1 July 2013. Eligibility: Ph.D. awarded between 1 July 2010 and 30 May 2013.
