In this workshop, Virginia Tech Postdoctoral
Affairs Program Administrator, Chris Smith, shared data from a set of
faculty job market applicant surveys from 2018 to the present as well as
an overview of the
Academic Career Readiness Assessment developed at UCSF.
Attendees
will learn about some of the critical factors and metrics associated
with landing a faculty position as well as an appreciation of the
different qualifications needed to be competitive at different types of
institutions. While the presented data are mostly from STEM and the
biological sciences fields, general advice on applying for faculty
positions will be shared.
