This Friday (May 17 at noon) we're talking to a group of scholars who have recently accepted faculty positions. Come prepared to ask questions about how to successfully navigate the academic job market!
Panelists include scholars who have recently accepted their first faculty positions. They will discuss their experiences on the job market as well as strategies for navigating a process that is often confusing and stressful.
