Getting Feedback On Your Application Materials
Learn how to strategically position yourself as a competitive candidate for a faculty position in academia.
This workshop has limited capacity and includes pre-workshop assignments.
In this workshop, we describe how trainees can strategically position themselves as competitive candidates for faculty positions.
First, we will introduce the types of faculty positions in the U.S., the basic elements of the application package and the steps of the hiring process. Then, we will describe what faculty hiring committees are looking for in applications and how candidates can present their strengths in their application materials. We use the Academic Career Readiness Assessment (ACRA), a tool developed with the input from faculty members who have been on hiring committees at diverse types of institutions.
