HMS/HSDM Office for Postdoctoral Fellows

Speaker: James Gould, PhD, Director of Postdoctoral Affairs, HMS

Online via Zoom

Facilitator: James Gould, PhD, Director, HMS/HSDM Office for Postdoctoral FellowsWorkshop Description: Career Clinics are interactive workshops and registrants are expected to prepare assignments in advance and turn cameras on during the workshop. Writing the teaching statement can be one of the most esoteric exercises in putting together the academic job package. While less philosophical and more practical, the challenge is to communicate a tangible evidence-based teaching approach in just a single page. This interactive workshop will use peer review and critique to hone your teaching statement for submission. This workshop is focused on statements of teaching philosophy for the academic job search.
