Abstract

Are you applying or planning to apply for an academic faculty position? Would you like to hear a diverse set of opinions on what makes a successful candidate? Then join us for an exciting LIDS event on academic faculty applications. The Faculty Applications, Inside & Out event will involve a discussion panel of 4 junior faculty, all LIDS alumni, or current faculty. Below please find more information regarding the event below. 

This event is designed to support LIDS students and postdocs who are applying or planning to apply to faculty positions. The purpose of this event is to answer your questions, and to elaborate on behind-the-scenes information of the academic job application process: from the very beginning (material preparation) to the very end (on-site interview).

Our panelists will give a short overview of their experience, and then will address questions from the moderator and the audience. We invite you to come, share your thoughts and questions, and to hear from experts about best practices on how to land a position as a professor.
