By putting yourself in the shoe.s of your potential employer, you’ll be able to see exactly how issues like time, budget and personality fit into the equation. In an exercise showing how one Assistant Professor applicant moves through the process, Jensen will guide audience members to see where the possible stumbling blocks are; the speaker will help you maximize your job offers to suit your needs. There are lots of take home lessons provided in this 90 minute workshop, including fifteen tips for better science job offer negotiations."
