Series Overview

The Academic Job Market series is a 6-part workshop series that will cover the academic job search process, starting with a review of the current academic job market, to crafting essential application documents. The series will then shift to interviewing for academic jobs and academic job negotiations. Attending all 6-parts is highly recommended but not required.

Part 3: Teaching, Research, and Diversity Statements

Research, Teaching, and Diversity Statements are the subtlest part of your package. The Research Statement highlights the value of your work to date, but more crucially, it tells the committee about your bright future. Diversity Statements attest to the ways in which you support diversity, inclusion, and equity in all that you do--whether in the lab, the classroom, or in service. The most misunderstood (and inadequately written) document of all, the Teaching Statement, reveals your burgeoning identity in the classroom. Learn how to make these essential documents core to an unforgettable package.
