Date and Time of Event (Module 3: Writing Research Statements): 

Thursday, August 7, 4:30-6:00 p.m.

Registration Deadline for Module 3:

Wednesday, August 6, noon

Location: 

Seminar Room Lab 3 C700

Facilitator:

Brandon Conlon (Assistant Director for Graduate Student and Postdoctoral Professional Development)

Series Introduction:

This is a series for those who are either currently in the midst of a job search for an academic position and would like to improve their existing materials, or for anyone who plans to engage in a job search on the academic market in the future. The series will cover the most common application materials required for academic jobs, as well as an introduction to the process of searching for a job itself. It is meant to be a complement to a second series on the non-academic job search. One of the main differences between the two searches in terms of application materials is the use of the CV when seeking academic jobs and the use of the résumé when the goal is to attain an industry job that is not academic. (But note that different regions of the world or different organizations may use these terms interchangeably or with variations in meaning.)

Modules in the Series:

Module 1: Job Search Process I

Module 2: Writing CVs & Cover Letters

Module 3: Writing Research Statements

Module 4: Writing Teaching Statements

Module 5: Job Search Process II

Module 6: Job Interviews

If you plan to attend at least one of the workshops above, please do register.

Registration will include access to the Canvas Learning Management System (LMS) site for the series, which will provide access to links of carefully curated resources & pre-workshop assignment prompts.

If you do plan to register for this series, please respond by noon of Wednesday, August 6.

You will be asked to draft a research statement corresponding to a prospecive job ad (actual or hypothetical) for this workshop. More information will be provided upon registration.
