NOTES:
- I received an e-mail stating that, while I had not made the cut for MLA interviews, there was a possibility that I would be interviewed after MLA. How many others received this e-mail?
- Answer: I suppose this is HR speak saying you are 'technically' still a candidate as all are until a job offer is accepted. 1/8
- I also got this. I assume that means we were on like a second-tier to the shortlist, maybe?
- Perhaps. Wiki says that standard rejections were also sent out, so I'm wondering if there is a second-tier group and, if so, how many of us are on it.
Any further communication from these guys, either confirmation of rejection (after those pseudo-rejections) or actual campus invites? I'm one of the pseudo-rejections and am kind of assuming it'll be silence from here on out, but just wondering. (1/28)
I'd imagine that campus visits are happening now; after that, they may decide to interview more of us on the waitlist. Or they might send us a final notification, which I hope we receive no matter what. (1/28)
I got notification a couple weeks ago that I didn't make the inital cut for a campus interview (I did have a MLA interview) but I, too, was being kept in the candidate pool as searches can be complicated. I am assuming visits are going on through February. (1/30)

- unless someone has solid evidence that campus visits have been scheduled, this should not be listed as such. My mole at Berkeley suggested in late November that longlisting hadn't even taken place yet.
- yes, I can confirm that a number of candidates have been invited to campus as of Dec 2014 [posted 1/6/15]
- Hey, look! These must be the candidates. The committee's been really original in its selection, I see. Note that none are actually rhetoric scholars. http://rhetoric.berkeley.edu/events

A majority of these teaching assistants are graduate students in the English Department's Creative Writing Program. The Director will also oversee program development and, in collaboration with the Writing Center, the University Writing Committee, and various administrative and faculty constituencies, nurture the university's broader writing initiatives. The English Department itself has a history of excellence in writing and scholarship, including a nationally ranked Creative Writing program and a strong English Teaching program, and thus offers many possibilities for collaboration and support for an integrative and affiliative Director.
The teaching load is two classes per academic year. This includes a one-week orientation for teaching assistants just prior to the start of fall semester and continues with a writing pedagogy and theory course throughout the year. There are opportunities to teach advanced composition courses and upper-division and/or graduate courses in the appointee's area of research. We welcome any secondary interests that would undergird the prospective Director's success as a scholar, a program administrator, and a teacher. Because the Composition Program features two laptop writing classrooms, a background in multimodal composition, visual rhetorics, digital literacy, and information literacy pedagogy would be especially desirable. Mindful of other strong departmental and campus programs, we'd also welcome scholarly intersections with such fields as Environmental Studies, Media Arts, Irish Studies, Native American Studies, Film Studies, and Women's and Gender Studies.
The University of Montana enrolls some 15,000 students, and boasts a beautiful fifty-six acre campus in a dramatic mountain setting; its strong humanities orientation is complemented by highly regarded schools of business, law, forestry, and pharmacy. The city of Missoula features award-winning schools, a thriving downtown, a seasonal farmers market, and a diverse culture of the arts, while western Montana offers unmatched recreational opportunities.

Writing Program Administration expertise Excellence in college teaching Scholarly record or agenda proportionate to the applicant's years of service and rank Background in writing pedagogy and teacher preparation Ability to develop, articulate, and administer a curriculum for first-year composition Ability to work collaboratively both within the English Department and with administrators and faculty across campus Ability to play an important role in campus discussions about writing

Stanford University (CA) - Lecturers - Program in Writing and Rhetoric - SKYPE INTERVIEWS REQUESTED
Stanford University seeks a number of highly qualified lecturers to develop and teach intensive first and second-year writing courses in its Program in Writing and Rhetoric, a program in the Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education (VPUE).
The Program in Writing and Rhetoric (PWR) teaches courses that fulfill the undergraduate writing and rhetoric requirement as well as advanced courses supporting a Notation in Science Communication. Courses, taught as workshops enrolling 15 students each, total approximately 200 a year. Classes emphasize the development of each student’s analytical and research-based writing, with individual classes exploring writing, rhetoric, and research from a range of thematic perspectives and disciplinary contexts. The second course includes increased attention to the study and development of oral and multimedia texts to expand students’ understanding of contemporary language and argument. We seek applicants from a broad range of disciplinary backgrounds, including the natural sciences, engineering, and the social sciences as well as humanities and the arts.
Lecturers will be responsible for developing syllabi for their sections in accord with course and assignment guidelines developed by PWR. Lecturers also participate in professional development activities available through the program, including formal training in rhetoric, composition, and writing pedagogy. Additional responsibilities of lecturers in PWR include work in the Hume Center for Writing and Speaking and substantive service on program committees; lecturers will also have the opportunity to participate in writing initiatives across the campus (e.g. the Notation in Science Communication) and in individual departments and programs (via the Writing Specialists Project). Lecturers will join a lively community of teachers, writers, and researchers committed to improving student writing and the teaching of writing.
Qualifications: Applicants should hold an advanced degree (Ph.D. preferred) and have significant teaching experience at the university level; while many PWR lecturers come from English Studies or a related field, we encourage applicants from all fields with a strong record of excellent teaching and strong interests in the teaching of writing and communication more generally.
Initial appointments of lecturers will be made for a term of two years beginning in the 2015-2016 academic year, with a start date of September 1, 2015. The appointment may be renewable contingent on satisfactory performance and programmatic need and may eventually lead to the opportunity to apply for promotion to the rank of advanced lecturer or senior lecturer, contingent on rigorous review by appropriate university committees, programmatic need, and available opportunities. We offer a competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.
To apply and to view a more detailed job description, please follow the instructions found at http://apply.interfolio.com/27076.
Please include a letter of application (outlining your experience and interests in the teaching of writing and the field of rhetoric and composition), curriculum vitae, three letters of reference, and a teaching philosophy statement. Deadline for applications is January 9, 2015.

University of Southern California (CA) - Full-Time Lecturers in Writing - MLA INTERVIEWS SCHEDULED
MLA INTERVIEWS SCHEDULED The University of Southern California Dana and David Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences announces openings for Full-Time Non-Tenure-Track Positions in Writing.
The USC Writing Program in the Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences in Los Angeles, California, seeks qualified applicants for full-time non-tenure-track teaching positions—Lecturer, Senior Lecturer, Master Lecturer, Assistant Professor (Teaching), Associate Professor (Teaching), and Professor (Teaching)—to join our faculty beginning Fall 2015.
The Writing Program teaches courses that fulfill the undergraduate writing requirement in a context informed by the rhetorical tradition, process theory, and ethical discursive practices. First-year courses develop students' writing and critical reasoning skills within thematic contexts. Advanced courses, attended primarily by juniors and seniors, bring students together based on their academic interests and career goals, addressing writing in different disciplines for various audiences. Small class sizes in both first-year and upper-level courses facilitate a workshop model of instruction, frequent one-on-one and small-group conferencing, and an emphasis on the writing process.
Full-time non-tenure-track faculty teach three sections each semester, for which they will develop syllabi and assignments in accordance with program guidelines. The Writing Program also provides significant opportunities for professional growth and development. Faculty are eligible to participate in program, college, and university governance. New faculty will join a vibrant community of teachers, writers, and scholars composed of faculty and graduate students from a range of disciplines.
The Writing Program hopes to hire faculty interested in making a career of teaching writing at USC. Initial appointments are fixed-term, with the possibility of renewal contingent on performance and review by the program faculty, its directors, and the college deans. Dornsife provides opportunities for promotion based on demonstrated teaching excellence and service to the program, school, and university.
Qualifications: Candidates should have a PhD or other terminal degree by June 2015. We require demonstrated excellence in teaching writing at the college level and we value familiarity with the needs of writers whose first language is not English. While many of our faculty have scholarly backgrounds in English Literature or Rhetoric and Composition, we welcome candidates from all fields.
Application Procedure: The deadline for applications is December 1, 2014. Applicants should submit a letter of application, CV, teaching evaluations and the names of three referees who can speak to teaching abilities. The referees will be contacted directly by USC. In order to be considered for this position, applicants are required to submit an electronic USC application; follow this job link or paste in a browser: http://jobs.usc.edu/postings/34219.
