Once you see job ads that list teaching loads of 3-4 or 4-4, you can
confidently put teaching first in your cover letter. Two notable exceptions
are tenure-track jobs in the City University of New York system and in the
California State University system.
Faculty at four-year colleges in the CUNY system have a 3-4 teaching load,
yet you should put research first when writing cover letters for those
institutions. The CUNY system — while serving the educational needs of the
New York City population, including many first-generation college students
— is strongly supportive of faculty research, even within the community-
college branches of the system. Because of its location and the promise of a
possible appointment to the CUNY Graduate Center, the system’s colleges
draw candidates with CVs that would get them tenure at most R1 campuses. So
CUNY is a community of scholars who are teachers, and they are looking for
people with clear promise as scholars. Meanwhile, Cal State institutions —
although they are on a quarter system with a heavy teaching load — tend to
be notably invested in hiring robust scholars who are excellent pedagogues.
Across academe, many job ads will have the teaching load listed. If they don
’t, you can do some sleuthing via the campus course catalog (usually
available online) and figure out how many courses the average faculty member
teaches each year.
