Anomie has posted some links to resources with advice for academic job interviews. Included in her post is a link to another list of questions to ask. I would add two caveats to this list:
- Know your audience. A number of the questions are geared toward research universities, so you should obviously refrain from asking about graduate courses if there are none.
- Be sure you aren’t asking questions should be obvious to anybody who has looked at the department web site or read the job ad. At some schools the teaching load can be a mystery, while others state it in their posting. As I’ve said before, ask questions that show you know these obvious things instead (I see you have a 4-4 teaching load. Does that affect the publication expectations?)
