<\/strong>Do you know the different types of academic faculty positions that are available in the U.S.? What skills do you need for each type? What type of faculty position is right for you?\u00a0 Join\u00a0Kathy Gould, Ph.D<\/a>,\u00a0Louise B. McGavock Professor, Department of Cell and Developmental Biology and Senior Associate Dean for Biomedical Research, Education and Training for a session in which we will explore the different types of faculty positions available to life scientists and the variable skills a competitive applicant needs to demonstrate for each type.\u00a0 Participants will use the Academic Career Readiness Assessment (ACRA) Framework, developed by the\u00a0UCSF Office of Career & Professional Development, to assess their level of preparedness for different positions and to set professional development and research goals that are aligned with the hiring criteria used to assess job candidates. This session will also provide an overview of the faculty job search process and other types of organizations that employ Principal Investigators.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/strong>Faculty panelists will discuss how to lay the groundwork for an independent research career and the faculty job search process. Topics will include defining your research niche, identifying mentors and collaborators, having conversations about independence with your mentor(s), and developing a research plan and research statement. Panelists are Dr. David Cortez, PhD<\/a>, and\u00a0Dr. Eric\u00a0Skaar, PhD, MPH.<\/a>\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/strong>J<\/em>oin our faculty panel as they share tips for preparing for a faculty job search.\u00a0Panelists will discuss advance preparation for the job search, how search committees work and how applications are reviewed, and provide advice for creating a faculty application package that helps you stand out from the competition. Panelists include <\/i>Dr. Walter Chazin, PhD<\/a>,\u00a0Dr. Yi\u00a0Ren, PhD<\/a>, and\u00a0<\/i>Dr. Elma Zaganjor, PhD<\/a>,\u00a0who will share their perspectives as a\u00a0full professor who has served on multiple search committees and assistant professors who have successfully navigated the job search.<\/i>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/strong>I<\/em>nterviews for faculty jobs are often multi-day events with one-on-one and group interviews, research presentations, teaching demos, chalk talks, meetings with students, and meals with other faculty. In this panel discussion, faculty will discuss how to ace the interview and deliver dynamic and engaging talks. Panelists include Dr. Antentor Hinton, PhD<\/a>,\u00a0\u00a0Dr. Kim Rathmell, MD, PhD<\/a>, and\u00a0Dr. Chris Wright, DPhil<\/a>, \u00a0who will share their perspectives as a\u00a0full professor who has served on multiple search committees and an assistant professor who has successfully navigated the job search recently.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/strong>If you apply for a faculty position that involves significant teaching, you may be asked to submit a “teaching philosophy” or “teaching statement” as part of the application process. What is expected in these documents? How should you approach them if never taught a full course before? In this session, you’ll learn how to reflect on your past teaching (and learning!) experiences to write a compelling teaching statement that gives search committees a sense of how you will approach classroom teaching and mentoring.
