Demystifying the Academic Job Search Series in Social Sciences & Humanities

Whether you plan on wading or plunging into the market, here's a chance to learn a little more about what you're getting into.

Session 1: 10:00, Student Union - Kiva Auditorium
Understanding the Process from the Perspective of Search Committees and Finding Job Announcements, including Post-docs

Nailing the Job Talk, or Erudition Ain't Enough: for both STEM and Non-STEM Fields

After months of stressful silence, the voice on the other end of the phone says, "We'd like to invite you for an on-campus interview." You gleefully discuss schedules, airports, and other arrangements until the voice mentions "and of course we're all looking forward to your Job Talk," and your stomach begins to spasm in new and creative ways. Answers to your questions about how to structure your presentation, how much detail to include, what level to pitch it (small college vs. university), and what are they really looking for.
