I am in the happy position of being in a temp job that still has two years' to run, but since I am thinking about The Next Step after that, here I am anyway ...
In a couple of months, I will be the proud owner of a PhD in American Literature (I also have an MA in United States Studies and MA equivalent degree(s) in American/English studies, Business Management, and Media Studies, and a BA equiv. in Public Law).
I've been an academic in England, Germany and Denmark, but since my main focus is American Studies and I've never yet worked in the United States, I'm right now trying to find out if it'd be possible to spend some time at an American University as an exchange lecturer, visiting PhD scholar, or to get a post-doc position somewhere.
Right now I mostly teach American Literature and Cultural Studies, but I also get some regular experience at teaching media studies classes (and taught the odd business management class this term, oops).
I'd be happy to hear about jobs that might be opening in a couple of months, but mostly I am looking for information regarding the publication of jobs - where's the place to go for post-doc position advertisements in the US?
As a trade, I'd be happy to help people around the German university job market, if anyone's looking to apply over here?
