Finding a Job in Academia: What to Expect and How to be Successful

This interactive workshop is especially designed to help aspiring graduates of doctoral programs to explore what faculty positions involve, and to make the transition from student to faculty member a smooth one. Topics to be discussed include preparing your vita, highlighting your areas of expertise, matching your applications to actual job postings (and pitfalls to avoid), and negotiating the job offer. In addition, balancing the requirements for scholarly work, grants, research, service, teaching, and becoming a part of your faculty community will be addressed. The open discussion forum will encourage questions from all participants.
