Northeastern University ADVANCE invites you apply for our upcoming
Future Faculty Workshop on June 1, 2011 in conjunction with the
Engineering Mechanics Institute 2011 Boston meeting. <br>
<br>
The Northeastern ADVANCE workshop begins with a series of topics related
to searching for a faculty position and positioning one's self for the
early years of academic life and continues with participation at the
Engineering Mechanics Institute conference. Participants are expected
to present their research during the course of the conference. The
Northeastern ADVANCE program will provide funding for the travel costs
and accommodations for invited participants. In addition to excellence
in scholarship, acceptance will be based on the ability of the
participant to enhance the diversity of the professoriate in engineering
and science, so there is a focus on women and underrepresented
minorities. Applications are sought from senior PhD students (one or
two years away from graduating) and Postdoctoral Research Associates.
We seek participants from the wide range of disciplines (structural,
materials, and, electrical engineering, and mathematics and statistics,
etc.) that support research in engineering mechanics.<br>

Interviewing is a vital skill for succeeding in the world of science and
technology. If 10 or 100 people are interviewing for the job you want, what puts you over the top and out in front? Understanding the purpose and outcome of each interview will give you a powerful edge in achieving your goals. This lively, interactive workshop will focus on improving your ability to ask for informational interviews and make them productive. It will take the mystery out of key aspects of job interviewing, and teach you concrete skills for reaching out to others so you can achieve your full potential.<br>
