Short Description of the Workshop:

It is extremely important for underrepresented minority scholars to best position themselves for the academic job market. In this workshop, we’ll cover the job market information that advisors haven’t told you about.

Learn how to make a compelling faculty application by understanding the type of institution you are applying to, branding yourself, and crafting your application documents that specifically address what you bring to the position. We'll also share advice on making the move from grad student to assistant professor. You're on the tenure track and you'll need to be selfish - learn to say no, create balance and find yourself mentors and sponsors as you navigate the tenure and promotion process.

Intended Audience:

Graduate students
