Summary: It’s faculty recruiting season again! How do you know if you are well prepared for a faculty position? Do you know how to work on a compelling application package? What is the secret behind the hiring process? What should you expect as you start your own research group and become a PI? Do you really want this job?

In this webinar, we invite three eminent faculty members at different stages of their careers to share their stories and perspectives about faculty hiring. They will share what the searching committee is looking for, what the tenured system is, how to prepare a chalk talk, and more. This session will also include a live Q&A at the end.

 

Speakers:
