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 posi-tion has been filled), and notices from departments that expect no va-cancies 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 letters 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 candidates, you must decide in each case whether it is worthwhile to write.

Comparative Literature and Linguistics and ESL Sections Notices in these fields have been separated out from the main body

of the issue and placed under the appropriate heading, with occasional cross-referencing to items in the main body of the List that might also be of interest. Candidates should read through the main body carefully, however, since the cross-referencing is not exhaustive.

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 inter-viewed at the department’s convenience. Professional meetings provide a convenient opportunity for such interviews (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 de-partments 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 geographical 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, candi-dates 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 either by letter or by self-addressed postcards provided by applicants.

MLA Policy on the Reimbursement of Job Seekers

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

It is MLA policy that:

•Departmentsthatrequirethatjobapplicantssendtheirapplicationmaterials by express carrier reimburse those applicants for the cost of such shipment; and

•Departmentsthatrequiremultiplecopiesofwritingsamplesandother application materials from job applicants reimburse appli-cants for the cost of duplicating their writing samples and other materials; and

•Departmentsthatrequirebookswillreturnthemtotheapplicant;and

•Departmentsthatinvitejobapplicantsforon-campusinterviewsreimburse those applicants who accept such invitations for the costs of travel and accommodations incurred when visiting the campus for interviews.

Professional Meetings

In addition to the MLA convention (27–30 December 2006, Phila-delphia), candidates in English, foreign languages, comparative lit er a ture, and linguistics may be interested in the following regional meetings.

Information for CandidatesInformation on vacancies for the October issue was provided by departments of foreign language, comparative literature, and linguistics in US and Canadian colleges and universities, as well as some number of overseas institutions and nonacademic enterprises. The current issue includes descriptions of approximately 460 definite or possible vacancies. These are broken down by language as follows: French, 59 definite, 2 possible; Spanish, 160 definite, 3 possible; Romance languages, 2 definite; German, 41 definite, 1 possible; Italian, 19 definite; Slavic, 8 definite, 2 possible; multiple competencies, 44 definite, 2 possible; and linguistics, comparative literature, and other language fields, 118 definite.

MLA JOB INFORMATION LIST iii


I. General Principles

1. Everyone in the profession benefits when job searches go well. Timely, open communication can ensure an atmosphere of collegial-ity between departments and candidates, even when the job market is tight or institutional circumstances are uncertain. Departments help to create such an atmosphere when they recognize how vulnerable candidates may feel during a job search; candidates help when they recognize that departments may be affected by institutional policies largely beyond their control. Problems arising during a job search may lead to impressions that damage individuals or institutions; how-ever, professional conduct by all parties involved in a job search may prevent such problems and can only be beneficial to all.

2. All job candidates should be treated equitably. Throughout any search for new faculty members, departments should adhere to non-discrimination and affirmative action guidelines, taking particular care not to discriminate on the basis of race, ethnic or national ori-gin, religion, disability, age, gender, or sexual orientation. The prin-ciples of confidentiality should be respected by all parties.

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 experi-ence, and any other requirements or criteria.

2. Applicants should be allowed ample time to respond to adver-tisements of openings, and deadlines for applications should be speci-fied whenever possible. Normally, applications should be accepted for at least twenty-one days after the announced publication date for a given issue of the Job Information List (about 15 October, 15 Novem-ber, 15 February, and 15 April). Care should be taken to inform ap-plicants of the department’s projected timetable for making decisions about interviews at the MLA convention, and applicants should be kept informed of their status following the initial screening.

3. Applications submitted in response to announcements should be acknowledged promptly and courteously in writing (if possible, within two weeks), and care should be taken to inform applicants of their status following the initial screening. Acting on a recom-mendation from the MLA Delegate Assembly, the MLA Executive Council has adopted a policy calling for departments to acknowl-

edge all applications for announced positions either by letter or by self- addressed postcards provided by applicants.

III. Preparing Applications

1. The candidate should prepare a dossier, including a letter of application, curriculum vitae, transcript(s), and letters of recommen-dation, by the end of September, before the October issue of the Job Information List. It is the candidate’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. To save all parties time and money, the committee recommends that departments request writing sam-ples 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. De-partments and candidates should realize that convention attendance is generally the most efficient and least expensive 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 be-tween 1 and 24 December. Candidates who travel in December should supply departments with complete itineraries including tele-phone numbers. Because of the expenses related to convention at-tendance, departments should notify all candidates, including those not invited for interviews, of their status as early as possible.

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. To be sure that candidates can get the information they need to keep interview appointments at the convention, a department chair or search committee chair should stop by the job center soon after

Prepared by the MLA Committee on Academic Freedom and Professional Rights and Responsibilities

iv� FOREIGN�LANGUAGE�EDITION� •� OCTOBER�2006


checking into a hotel, fill out the appropriate forms, and then check the “Who’s Where” listing for accuracy.

5. 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 use the convention inter-view area, you need to sign in with the Job Information Center and hand in your schedule. If you are interviewing in a hotel room, re-member that the hotel switchboard personnel are not authorized to disclose room numbers. You can register your room number and a list of interviewees with the Job Information Center, so that your room number will be given out only to the candidates with whom your department has set up appointments. Departments scheduled to begin interviewing on the first afternoon of the convention may need to arrive the day before, to avoid missing appointments because of travel delays or delays in checking into hotels.

6. Departments and candidates should plan realistically and adhere closely to schedules. When arranging interviews, 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.

7. 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. Candidates and departments should review “Dos and Don’ts for Interviews,” by Herbert Lederer, revised in 1995 by CAF-PRR and reprinted each October in the Job Information List.

8. Interviewers should make every effort to accommodate candi-dates with disabilities.

V. Interviewing on Campus

1. Departments inviting candidates for on-campus interviews should pay candidates’ expenses, following standard institutional poli-cies for travel reimbursement. Candidates should be told approxi-mately 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 find out what 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 cir-cumstances that should be communicated to the chair.

3. A department that invites a candidate to interview on its cam-pus has an obligation to (a) arrange the logistics of the candidate’s stay (local transportation, lodging—including disability accommoda-tions, meals); (b) set up interviews with faculty members and admin-istrators; (c) provide a tour of the campus and its facilities; (d) provide adequate information about the department, the university, and the community; (e) plan social activities for the candidate; and (f) inform the candidate of the procedures and timetable for reimbursement.

4. 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 be-yond the institution’s control may delay or disrupt the hiring process.

2. No candidate should be required before 22 January to give a final answer to an offer of a position without tenure for the follow-ing academic year. After 22 January, candidates should normally be allowed two weeks to give a final answer to a formal offer.

Prepreparation

❑ 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 con-sulted, 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 ex-periences in the job market?

❏ Have you been realistic in defining the kinds of specialized 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 placement officer, your department graduate adviser, your dissertation adviser, your department place-ment committee, other faculty members who know you well and who have shown interest in your work?

❏ Have you requested from your department or placement office stan-dardized 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, disserta-tion, and teaching?

❏ Have you given your referees sufficient information about your re-cord and at least several weeks to prepare their letters of recommen-dation?

❏ Have you estimated the costs of the job search? Although costs will vary, it is reasonable to expect to spend at least $700 for travel, lodg-ing, food, and incidentals when attending the MLA convention. Remember too that you will have duplicating and postage expenses, fees charged by the placement office for sending your dossier, long-distance phone charges, and expenses for purchase or rental of a telephone answering machine to receive calls before and after the convention. Although 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 department does not regularly schedule mock interviews for job candidates, have you dis-cussed 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 conven-tion, making sure that you have allowed 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 applied (e.g., course offerings, col-lege 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 de-partment 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 curriculum 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 de-tail?

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

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

MLA JOB INFORMATION LIST v


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.

vi� FOREIGN�LANGUAGE�EDITION� •� OCTOBER�2006


After an Offer Is Made

❏ Are you well informed about the general financial 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 responsibilities will 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 avail-ability of grants, sabbatical and released time?

❏ Do you know the cr iter ia and procedures for tenure and promotion?

❏ Do you have an informed opinion about the advantages and disad-vantages of living in the city or town where the college or univer-sity is located? Have you asked, for example, about housing, the cost of living, 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 tenure 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 definitely made up your mind about an offer, you should ac-cept or reject it immediately: keep in mind that other candidates 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

committee or receive final approval for funding.

❏ You may be on the market too early. The department may not have

been convinced that you will actually 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 in-

terviewed. 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 profes-

sional publications.

❏ There will be another job market next year. Start preparing for it

now. The current search will have given you valuable experience.

Dos and Don’ts for MLA Convention Interviews

by Herbert Lederer, University of Connecticut with revisions by Committee on Academic Freedom and Professional Rights and Responsibilities, 1995

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.

List of Administrations Censuredby the American Association of University Professors

Note: The following list and accompanying explanatory note are reprinted from Academe by permission of the American Association of University Professors and in accordance with the action of the MLA Delegate Assembly.

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 spe-cifically 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 Associa-

tion, nor does it affect the individual rights of members at the institution in question.

Members of the Association have often considered it to be their duty, in order to indicate their support of the principles violated, to refrain from accept-ing 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. Re-ports were published as indicated by the Bulletin or Academe citations in paren-theses 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.

MLA Statement on the Use of

Part-Time and Full-Time Adjunct FacultyThe 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.

x� FOREIGN�LANGUAGE�EDITION� •� OCTOBER�2006


The expansion of the adjunct ranks in language and literature de-partments over the past two decades threatens the integrity of the pro-fession 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 appointments are made for educationally sound reasons. Indeed, the primary motivation for most of these appointments is to reduce the cost of instruction.

Adjunct faculty members fall into two groups: part-time instruc-tors and non-tenure-track full-time instructors. The first group in-cludes 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 teach-ing loads but, as non-tenure-track faculty members, lack the institu-tional commitment given to their tenure-track colleagues. 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 mem-bers have different responsibilities and expectations.

In the light of these concerns, the MLA urges college and univer-sity 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 ten-ured or tenure-track faculty members and of graduate students serv-ing 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. Depart-ments that routinely assign a large part of undergraduate instruction to adjunct faculty members should reconsider their staffing practices.

2. All adjunct faculty members should be treated as profession-als. 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 teach-ing 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 profes-sional development, including merit raises and funds for research and travel.

f. As appropriate, they should participate in determining de-partmental and institutional policies.

“Cultures in Transnational Perspective”

Call for Applications

Deadline: February 1, 2007

The division of humanities at the University of California, Los Angeles, will appoint four Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellows for a 2-year tenure beginning in the fall of 2007. Fellows must have earned their doc-toral degree no earlier than January 2001 and no later than June 2007. The Mellon Fellowship provides a stipend of $45,000 a year, standard fringe benefits, a one-time moving allowance of $1,500, plus a small research budget of $1,000. Designed to explore the emerging field of Transnational Studies, the aim of the Mellon Program at UCLA is to broaden the study of minority cultures from its national focus to global and comparative per-spectives. We seek innovative scholarship that explores minority cultures

as major components of world culture and history, generated by immigrant and minority writers, artists, filmmakers, playwrights, and musicians re-siding in metropolitan centers across the world and thereby reshaping the canons of literature, art, and music in their respective countries. There is no application form. Applicants should send a cover letter, a description (no more than 1500 words) of the scholarly project relevant to the pro-gram, a CV, and three letters of recommendation by February 1, 2007, to: Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowships in the Humanities at UCLA, Royce Humanities Group, 212 Royce Hall, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA 90095. The program is co-chaired by Professors Françoise Lionnet (French and Francophone Studies; Comparative Literature) and Shu-mei Shih (Asian Languages and Cultures; Comparative Literature).
