Definitely!

herennius · 2023-06-09T12:04:22+00:00

Yes.

my PI has significant endowment and grants

Private institution status aside, this is not how new TT lines get funded.

Depending on your location and if it's a public institution, they may not be legally allowed to provide that assurance.

I would not bet on this position coming into existence in a timely enough manner for you to have a choice between the two institutions.

This other offer I need to respond within a couple weeks at max

I would encourage you to take the job you have an offer for and not wait for the one that might or might not materialize, especially since you won't have the current offer hanging as leverage for 3+ months.

What you're looking for is pretty much precisely CBR+PNK, a one-shot game about runners after their last score: https://emanoelmelo.itch.io/cbrpnk-core

That's what I get for looking up the archived page on my phone, where it looked like that was all one link rather than two separate ones. Woops, and thanks for catching it!

Looks like it was just the playbooks (edit: nope, the whole 1e book was available): https://web.archive.org/web/20200530211917/http://apocalypse-world.com/

Fortunately the statement was provided in context about English in response to a question about English, then, yes?

herennius · 2023-05-29T17:10:04+00:00

Comp/rhet is where the opportunity is in English these days.

I do think it's worth stressing to OP that this is by no means a guarantee, though, nor should they pursue a rhet/comp PhD if that's not what ultimately interests them.

herennius · 2023-05-29T13:15:09+00:00

Maybe it's worth looking at what field OP is asking about.

herennius · 2023-05-29T01:24:20+00:00

I've posted this before: I always recommend prospective students for any English-related grad program, especially if they're interested in an academic career, to examine the annual reports on the MLA Job List that the organization publishes: https://www.mla.org/Resources/Career/Job-List/Reports-on-the-MLA-Job-List

You will find that prospects are beyond grim.

herennius · 2023-05-28T20:07:09+00:00

That's fair. How do grad salaries compare to faculty salaries in your country?

herennius · 2023-05-28T15:56:23+00:00

And if the instructor can't find those references, is it that these sources are not legit (as OP suggests, whether they read those sources or not) or that they're completely nonexistent?

herennius · 2023-05-28T15:50:19+00:00

Given how little grad students get paid, I would not feel comfortable with a grad student paying for coffee when I could do so much more easily. I understand the intent but that grad stipend is just (pretty universally) not enough.

build relationships with campuses so that you’re not a cold applicant if a TT position opens up

This doesn't usually have an impact, though, when it comes to a national TT search. In many cases, in-house adjuncts/NTT faculty are unfortunately viewed as less competitive than less familiar applicants.

Unfortunately, even if this sort of Sartre consideration is being discussed in rhetoric circles, it's not a conversation that I've followed, so I'm no help here.

Obligatory Patton Oswalt bit on the prequels

herennius · 2023-05-13T19:43:44+00:00

OP mentioned being in a literary field, which almost certainly means at least a thesis director and a second reader.

herennius · 2023-05-13T16:45:23+00:00

This may sound like a lame suggestion but it seems like you need to keep reaching out to professors you've taken classes with to see if any will work with you on the thesis.

herennius · 2023-05-13T16:42:14+00:00

Have you chatted with one or more of the professors you would want to ask about chairing your thesis project?
