- Also posted at North American History 2016-17
- Were letter writers contacted directly for LOR? Or were applicants contacted for LOR?
- A: I gave interfolio LOR addresses, and they were triggered immediately upon application.
- (-Not sure that means anything...that's no indication of progress. It just means Interfolio received the request for you to send the letters.
- [Yes, I was not the original poster, and that was the point I was trying to make--I think LORs were just triggered for everyone. :)]
- Any updates? (11/11)
- nothing here (11/11)
- still nothing? (11/16), x3
- Nothing here. I am quite surprised that there hasn't been any movement on this position. (11/16)
- Nothing here either. But it's been less than four weeks since the deadline, and given that it's an American studies job in NYC, I'm suspecting that they've received at least 400 applications! (11/16)
- I called the department on 11/21--they got over 500 applications, so it's going to be awhile!
- ^ LOLOLOLOLOLOL (11/22)
- beware the inside candidate... (11/22)
- I emailed the admin assistant about the website saying it hadn't received one of my LOR, and she never answered. I then called the dept, no one picked up, and I left a voicemail. No one ever returned my call. I emailed the chair of the dept and never got a response back. Red flag for a hot mess dept? (Nov 2016 - Jan 2017)
- Campus visit are being scheduled for February 2017. So to the above post, it's possible they are not responding because you are not a finalist (and legal procedures make it difficult to communicate with other potential candidates until the search is completed).
- Does the above mean that candidates selected for campus visits have already been notified? I'm assuming so...

Acknowledgment received: Received three short messages with no content ("Test," "Recall," "No subject") from admin assistant 9/20/2016. Anybody else? I recieved them as well. But for me the third one was a reminder of the upcoming due date and to make sure that applications were complete.
- >> Heard anything since those original e-mails on 9/20? I have not.
- >>> I received another confirmation email on 10/3 indicating that the application portal was closed. [I got the same email. And for the record American Studies is my primary field but I currently teach in a history department]
- >>>> Hmm. Peculiar. I wonder what's up. Good luck! My home area is media studies, so Am. St. is a dream field but a much tighter market than communication / journalism.
- >>>>> Best of luck to you as well! U.S. historian here. AmStud is also a dream field of mine, but (as you noted) jobs therein are few and far between. Same thing for U.S. history, of course. Sigh.
- >>>>>> Nothing yet? I would have thought that, with such an early deadline, they'd be keen to interview at ASA or something - but that's coming up in two weeks...
- >>>>>>> Radio silence on my end. Media studies person from above. (11/7)
- >>>>>>>> Ditto. Nothing here as of yet. To be fair, the committee probably received a ton of applications. Still, I had expected to hear something by now.
- >>>>>>>>> Apparently they're currently scheduling phone interviews, so that probably doesn't bode well for those of us who haven't heard anything yet. [posted ~ 11/08]
- >>>>>>>>>> Probably a long shot, but are we sure they're on the phone interview stage? As far as I can tell, only one person indicated that they received an interview request. Just wondering. (11/18)

IPSJ brings together scholars across disciplines and methodological backgrounds for whom historical and contemporary issues of inequality, power, and social justice are of central analytical focus. By incorporating a wide range of approaches, we aim to develop a richer understanding of how inequality and power are produced and reproduced as well as of their social, political, and personal consequences. We aim to develop a critical analysis of how systems of inequality and power interact with social justice and change. In this focus, we recognize and engage with our location in the Central Valley of California, a region marked by great ethnic diversity and high levels of poverty. The IPSJ pillar will provide space for cross-disciplinary discussion, as well as research and teaching, with the aim of theoretical and methodological inclusivity. We value scholarship that engages with the local, national, and international community both in the production and in the dissemination of knowledge.
We seek to hire scholars whose research fits into either or both of the following themes: 1) identity, experience, and representation ; and, 2) structural and institutional inequality . Successful candidates will compete in an interdisciplinary pool and have a record of accomplishment in one or more areas, including but not limited to: American studies, anthropology, art history, cognitive science, economics, English, ethnic studies, ethnomusicology, linguistics, history, neuroscience, philosophy, political science, psychology, public health, Spanish, sociology, women’s studies, and world heritage.
Assistant professor candidates should show promise of research excellence and creativity, while candidates for associate and full professor ranks should have a record of research excellence and creativity. Applicants should also demonstrate an ability to teach and train effectively at both undergraduate and graduate levels. Candidates with broad interests and the potential for active interdisciplinary collaboration are preferred.
Candidates may be affiliated with one or more academic units with the primary appointment being determined by the candidate’s research and teaching interests and qualifications.
In order to be considered, candidates must have a PhD in a field relevant to the topics of interest indicated above by the position start date.
When submitting your application, please be sure to specify your area(s) of specialization. You may choose more than one option.

University of California San Diego (CA) - Marshall College, Dimensions of Culture Writing Program Director - Lecturer with Potential Security of Employment[]
Thurgood Marshall College, formerly known as Third College, was founded in 1970 in a period of transformative social change in the United States and the world. From its beginning, the college has enriched the lives of undergraduates with a commitment to the development of young people as both professionals and engaged citizens. In 1993, the college was named in honor of former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. Justice Marshall is well known for his dedication to educational opportunity for all, civil rights, freedom of speech, women's rights, and the right to privacy.
Thurgood Marshall College at the University of California, San Diego, is committed to academic excellence and diversity within the faculty, staff, and student body, and seeks a Lecturer with Potential for Security of Employment (LPSOE) to serve as director of its Dimensions of Culture Writing Program. The LPSOE writing director position is a nine-month (academic-year) appointment. LPSOEs are full members of the Academic Senate of the Faculty of the University of California, San Diego. The position is analogous to a tenure-track assistant professor whose expertise and responsibilities center on undergraduate education.
Thurgood Marshall's Writing Program, “Dimensions of Culture—Diversity, Justice, and Imagination” (DOC), challenges students to develop a historically grounded understanding of the diverse experiences that have shaped U.S. culture. The distinctive core sequence, which serves as the centerpiece of the general education requirements, emphasizes a deep examination of American society. DOC is designed to be an interdisciplinary curriculum that explores the promise of the nation's founding ideals juxtaposed to collective struggles to realize those ideals for all communities. The year-long Dimensions of Culture Program introduces TMC students to major issues in the history of the United States with an emphasis on the tension between the nation's founding principles and the inequality and lack of opportunity experienced by various groups over time.
Topics include:
- successive waves of immigration
- the formation of stratifications based on gender, class, "race," religion, and other categories
- the social movements that struggled to fulfill the founding ideals
- the role of institutions in the delivery of justice and equity, and
- the cultural production that has been shaped by these issues.
All three courses in the lower-division DOC (Diversity, Justice, and Imagination) sequence provide undergraduate students with a critical language that allows them to analyze social problems in an intelligent and grounded fashion. In addition to attending core curriculum faculty lectures, students will participate in small discussion sections led by graduate student Teaching Assistants.
Details about the program may be found at: http://marshall.ucsd.edu/doc/index.html
The Dimensions of Culture Writing Program Director will be an academic leader who, in addition to teaching in the program, will contribute to its design and help define its pedagogical vision. The Director will take the leadership role, in collaboration with the College Provost and the College Writing Advisory Committee, in curricular design; successfully recruit, train, and supervise graduate teaching assistants and lecturers; monitor and assess the program's effectiveness and learning outcomes; supervise a small staff; collaborate with the directors of the other colleges' writing programs on campus-wide writing initiatives; and participate as a member of the senior staff of Marshall College in coordinating academic activities and setting goals for the college. The Director will be able to propose courses to teach in Summer Session, which provides additional income.
Required Qualifications- The successful applicant should have:
- A Ph.D. in American Studies, Literature with a U.S. focus, History with a U.S. focus, and related fields. Ideal candidates will also have experience in teaching critical reading and writing skills to undergraduate students.
- A record of distinguished teaching in a U.S.-related research area with expertise in teaching college-level reading and writing
- Strong demonstrated accomplishments in areas contributing to diversity, equity and inclusion, and a desire to play a leadership role in advancing UC San Diego's commitment to achieving excellence and diversity
Preferred Qualification: Experience administering a college writing program or comparable program that utilizes American Studies materials.
Salary: Salary commensurate with experience and based on published University of California pay scales.
Applications should be submitted to the UCSD on-line application collection system, AP-On-Line Recruit, at: http://apptrkr.com/887419. In order to be considered, applicants are to submit a cover letter, CV, teaching statement, 3 reference letters and a separate statement describing past experience in activities that promote diversity and inclusion and/or plans to make future contributions (For further information about contributions to diversity statements, see http://facultyexcellence.ucsd.edu/c2d/).
- Teaching evaluations may be requested if the candidate is selected for an interview
