Finding Jobs in Academia

Abstract:

We will have three panelists who have recently found jobs: Steve Butler, post doc, UCLA, Maia Averett, Mills College, Oakland California, and Dave Clark Assistant Professor, Randolf Macon College, Ashland, Virginia They will describe their experiences applying for an academic job. Some of the questions they will answer are: How many applications should I send out? How do I prepare for an interview? What should I write in my cover letter and resume? What are important qualifications for a teaching job, postdoc job, tenure track research job? If you are soon to be on the job market, this is a terrific opportunity to find out the optimal way to apply for jobs. The discussion will be followed by a question and answer period.
