  1. https://wcprogram.lmc.gatech.edu/brittain-fellowship/brittain-fellowship-application-process Application deadline for optimal consideration: October 1, 2022 Job Description The Writing and Communication Program (WCP) in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication at Georgia Tech invites applications for the Marion L. Brittain Postdoctoral Fellowship, starting January 1, 2023. This three-year fellowship includes service, research, and a 3/3 teaching assignment in first-year composition or business/technical communication. Within programmatic outcomes related to rhetoric, process, and multimodality, Fellows integrate their own research interests into the courses they teach. In addition to full faculty benefits, including health insurance, retirement, and research support, Brittain Fellows receive preparation in and support for further development of multimodal pedagogy via the Digital Pedagogy Postdoctoral Seminar. Brittain Fellows also benefit from other support activities and services, including the postdoctoral seminar in technical communication and job market support for both academic and nonacademic positions. Winner of the 2020 Georgia Tech Diversity Champion Award, the 2021 Regents’ Teaching Excellence Award, and the the 2021-22 CCCC Writing Program Certificate of Excellence, the WCP is committed to providing inclusive teaching for a diverse student body. We strongly encourage individuals from Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, and Pacific Islander communities; individuals from the LGBTQIA+ community; and individuals born outside the US to apply. Salary First-year Brittain Fellow base salary is $56,635, with the salary increasing for the second and third years of the fellowship Required Qualifications Ph.D. in rhetoric, composition, business/technical communication, literature, film, visual rhetoric/design, or other humanities fields must be conferred by January 1, 2023. Ph.D. must have been conferred within the last five years. Candidates should have university-level experience teaching writing and communication courses (e.g., first-year composition, business or technical communication, writing-intensive courses). Preferred Qualifications We are particularly interested in qualified applicants with research or teaching expertise related to any of the following areas: Diversity, equity, and inclusion Global Englishes or English Language Learning Literary and rhetorical traditions of under-represented groups Writing center studies expertise/tutoring experience Technical communication, business communication, and communication in STEM disciplines/professions
  2. The same thing happened to me a few weeks back. I also assumed that meant they were unhappy with the initial applicant pool. Bummer!
  3. Sorry to hear that! I know how disappointing that is. I hope something else comes through for you!
  4. Yeah, it seems like folks on Twitter have heard back about other ACLS fellowships.
  5. Thank you! Yes, you're correct that I applied for the dissertation fellowship, not the pre-doc. Good luck! I hope y'all hear back soon.
  6. Just got my rejection. Email to review results arrived at 9:16 am on Monday, 3/22.
  7. Maybe not, but it's still possible since there are a couple hours left before the end of the work day!
  8. My "Review Result" tab has also disappeared ?
  9. Mine now says "The review is not over." I did not notice if this was there before. I wonder if this was added in response to people reaching out to inquire about the status of their applications.
  10. I ended up attending an MA program within an hour of my family because the other programs to which I was accepted didn't offer sufficient funding. It worked out for the best on a personal level, because that meant I got to spend a lot of time with my grandfather before his sudden passing over the summer right before my program started. I 100% would have gone to one of the other programs had they offered me full funding, but looking back I'm glad I was closer to home. If I had moved 5-8 hours away from home that summer, I probably would have regretted not being around when my grandfather passed or being with my family as we grieved. There is no right answer. There is some level of personal or opportunity cost no matter what you do. Try to think about how you might feel about each decision 5 or 10 years from now. Either way, trust that your mom knows how much you love and support her. She wants you to be happy and to achieve your dreams. Good luck to you and to your mom.
  11. I'm not sure about any of the other ACLS fellowships, but provisional acceptances for the Mellon/ACLS Dissertation fellowship went out yesterday afternoon (around 4pm EST on Monday 3/15) according to folks on the Wiki site. They speculate that alternates will be notified today (3/16). So, I suppose the best I can hope for now is alternate (still a long shot...) https://academicjobs.wikia.org/wiki/Dissertation_Fellowships_2021-2022#ACLS_.2F_Mellon_Dissertation_Completion_Fellowships
  12. I hope so! I'm not too optimistic about my chances, but it will be nice to at least know either way. Good luck!
  13. I'm sure this is different for every program, but my MA Grad Director told me that my clear interest in the program (follow-up emails, visiting campus, etc.) helped me in the admissions process. IMO it can't hurt to reach out and reaffirm that they are your top choice program and you're still interested. Good luck!
