Faculty Conversations on the Academic Job Search and Academic Life:
Behind the Scenes with a Search Committee
Tuesday, January 31, 4-5:15 pm
Houston Hall, Ben Franklin Room

What happens to your application for a faculty job and how does a search committee work together? How are candidates evaluated and selected for faculty positions? This panel will help you gain a better understanding of the academic job search from the perspective of the sitting faculty, department and institution. Faculty speakers will share their experiences and insights:

Emilio Parrado, PhD, Associate Director, Population Studies Center, University of Pennsylvania and Associate Professor of Sociology, University of Pennsylvania
Lynne M. Butler, PhD, Professor of Mathematics, Haverford College

Registration is requested

This program is a session of the Faculty Conversations on the Academic Job Search and Academic Life, a series for doctoral students and postdocs which is co-sponsored by Career Services and the Associate Provost for Education. This year is the seventeenth year of this series in which faculty and administrators share valuable information to help you best understand the academic job search process. While some are targeted to people in certain broad discipline areas, all PhD students and postdocs are welcome to attend.

If you are looking for some information on this topic right now, then make sure that you take a look at some of the resources on this page of our website for some general information on the academic job search. The Chronicle of Higher Education website also has many advice columns on the topic.

Lunch for hungry minds.
