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.

It will be interesting to see how these situations are handled at my new institution, since that was not one of the questions that I asked during my visit. […]
[…] a result of these tensions, during interviews (whether phone, Skype, or campus) one of the questions that I asked nearly everybody concerned the relationship between the faculty and administration and my questions […]
