Jobs with 2020 Application Deadlines[]
College of the Holy Cross (USA:Mass). Visiting Faculty, Open Rank. 18th & 19th Century Literature, The Novel. Deadline: 27 July 2020. NTT. FT. Job ad MLA Updates:
Hamilton College (USA: NY). Assistant Professor. Assistant Professor of Literature and Creative Writing 18th and Early 19th C Literature and Culture. Deadline: 1 November 2020. TT. FT. Job ad MLA Updates:
- Any news?
- Strong suspicion this was an inside hire
- Would you explain why? They don't seem to have an internal candidate who would meet the qualifications outlined in the job description (e.g. comparative scholarship), as far as one can tell from their faculty profiles.
- The background of the c18 visiting person who's been there since 2017 struck me as uncannily similar to the job description--but, again, merely a suspicion!
- I used to teach in another department there and can say that Hamilton occasionally hires its VAPs, but does a national search as well. Couple of folks in English came to the department that way. Also, as someone noted on the American Lit page, they recycled the job description from the ad used a few years ago to hire the VAP now on faculty. Here's the language from that position for comparison's sake... Restoration/18th-Century 2017#Hamilton College .28NY.29 - Visiting Assistant Professor Literature and Creative Writing .2818th Century Literature.29 - OFFER ACCEPTED... oh well...
