Composition/Rhetoric Job Listings, 2007-2008 Hiring Cycle

Back to Main AcademicJobSearch


Note on Changes as of Dec 19th: I reformatted this page to make it readable (hopefully) and I moved the job listings to a separate page at Composition/Rhetoric Job Listings, 2007-2008 Hiring Cycle. The page was getting a little long and this seemed like a good way to separate content. I am happy to continue editing/reformatting just let me know what works (click discussion page at top of this page).

Comments [Partial edit] Question-and it is sort of a dumb one, but I want to ask it anyway: Someone posted that they already heard about the job that I really wanted/was hoping for. They heard back a week ago. Should I assume that I am totally and completely out of the running? I am basically asking if anyone has any reason why I might hold out a small, tiny bit of hope... Any thoughts? A: My sense is that is partly what this wiki is for: so we can get a little insight into where schools are in their processes (and if they're scheduling interviews, and we haven't heard, well...). On the other hand, there's always the chance that first picks will somehow not work out and that a school will have to reconsider the applicant pool after MLA. But what do I know...this is my first time through. I'm all for hope, however you can hang onto it. A: Also, schools getting lots of applications may initially be looking at them in batches, so that requests for further materials may go out to others before they have had the chance to review your initial application.

Just curious: I realize everyone is being sent Affirmative Action notices to complete, but do those "mean" anything other than acknowledgment of our application? For instance, if I see above that phone interviews have been scheduled and I haven't received a request yet but did just receive the Equal Opportunity information, can I assume I'm still in the running [for a couple of weeks or so?] A: Yes, they do mean something, since depts. usually have to show that they are recruiting candidates from a suitably diverse pool of applicants. While they do mean something institutionally, you should not take the AA notice as a sign of anything meaningful for your job prospects . . . AA info requests will sometimes arrive just days before the rejection notice . . . A: Having served on a search committee I can say that they do matter. The committee has to show diversity in the short-list pool. If no one turns in those forms it looks to the University like the pool is all white guys, regardless of the pool's make-up, and regardless of what the committee knows about applicants' ethnicity. Unless you have reason to believe that (1) you'll get looked over because of your ethnicity/gender/sexual orientation, (2) they won't notice your ethnicity/gender/orientation when you interview, (3) you really want to work for bigots, it helps the committee to fill out the stupid form. A: I've taken to throwing them out because they are voluntary and I don't have time to complete bunches of them. This process is too time-intensive and inefficient as it is without these forms.


Q: Is it possible that someone might not be considered for a position if they don't return them? Some of them ask for your name... Just wondering if any schools might not consider people who don't return them. A: I don't know the "real" answer to this question; however, if I get an Affirmative Action form that does ask for my name, I fill it out, with my name, and send it back. If they don't ask my name, they go in the recycle bin.

Question: How many positions did you apply for? I'm just wondering what the norm would be. I applied to 10. Is that normal, too many or too few? Any thoughts? A: I applied to 20 positions that I felt strongly about, focusing mostly on the types of schools I felt best suited for. We'll see how it works out. A: I applied to 60+, but I'm not sure how many are reasonable. It probably depends on your specialization. A: I applied for 60. I was advised by mentors to apply to 40-80, as it is my first time out on the market. A: I applied to 40+. The wider you can cast your net, the better. A: I applied to 45 +/-. I was advised to apply for at least 40, re: casting that net. A: I applied to 10. But I already have a job and can afford to be picky. Even when you are on the market the first time, though, there's not much sense in applying for jobs you really aren't qualified for/suited for or in places you just would not live. That wastes your time and the hiring committee's. A: I wanted to limit myself to 25, and almost succeeded (26). Frankly, there aren't 60+ places I would want to live/work. A: I applied to 58. A: I applied to 38. A: I applied to 25 or so. Certain areas of the country I simply do not want to live in and I didn't have the financial resources to send out more. Anybody else with me there?? A: I applied to 28.

Question: How many interviews should an applicant take?

A: I've heard mixed things from faculty mentors. Some say no more than 12. I've had others say 18 is more than enough. I say, do as many as you think you can handle knowing you'll be raising your blood pressure for each and every one. I currently have 10 scheduled, and unless schools start interviewing on more days (i.e., not just Friday and Saturday), there will be no room on my dance card. A: I can't imagine more than 10, considering the number of hotels we may have to travel between. How late in the day have these been known to go anyway?

A: I have an interview at 5 p.m. and I thought that was rather late but one of my colleagues has one at 7:30 p.m.

More materials requested for which position(s) at UT-Austin? Assistant Professor of Rhetoric and Writing

Is the Ohio State listed above OSU-Marion?

Mine are coming from both sources. If they asked for materials online, they are doing follow-ups via e-mail. If they asked for print materials, then the requests are coming via snail mail. Here's to hoping. Oh, and remember. You are qualified. You are capable, and dog-gone-it, someone wants you. (My survival mantra.)

Can I ask how people are finding out about interviews or more materials - phone, e-mail, or standard mail? I want to know which one to hope for or be nervous about!

Is it just me or does it seem like there's a move away from generalist jobs towards tech. comm and electronic literacy? And many of the generalist jobs seem to have high teaching loads or administration attached to them. It was true several years ago when I was first on the market, too. R1 schools are interested in specialists and the less researchy/more teachy/more generalist schools have higher teacher loads.

Has anyone received additional material requests from Harvard or Duke for their temporary positions (Expository Writing Preceptor and Writing Program Fellows)? - Yes, received email request from Harvard 11/21 (11/26) - I checked the wiki fellow website and there is nothing on Duke. Rejection letter (late Nov.) See Humanities postdocs 2007-2008 - Just acknowledgment letters...
