In this interactive workshop, we seek to answer some of the most common questions asked by graduate students and postdoctoral scholars pursuing positions in higher education. Some of these questions include: (1) What type of school is right for my goals?; (2) When should I begin the job search process?; (3) What different types of academic positions are available?; and, (4) How much salary should I expect? Participants in the workshop will learn about a wide range of tools and resources available to assist them in answering many questions about finding and securing an academic job. Participants completing the workshop will complete a job profile, personal timeline, and statement of personal goals. Note: this workshop will not cover crafting the documents needed for an academic job (CV/Resume, Teaching Statement, etc.) Workshop Schedule This workshop has two online sessions, which participants are required to attend, at 1-2:30PM ET / 12-1:30PM CT / 11AM-12:30PM MT / 10-11:30AM PT on Wednesday, September 12 and September 19. Workload Participants should expect to spend time outside of sessions on some brief assigned readings and on their own job searches.
