<big> When applying for an academic position, you will be
required to produce a teaching and/or research statement.
Writing a poor statement can hurt your chances of being
considered for a position, but taking the time to write
them well can set you apart from other candidates. Drs.
Bell and Halstead will analyze the characteristics of
teaching and research statements, discuss their components
and review examples - so that you will be able to write
thoughtful, creative statements that have impact. </big>

<b><font color="#ff0000">NOTE FOR PARTICIPANTS</font></b>
- <b>Request for Sample Research and Teaching
Statements from postdocs:<br>
</b>(highly recommended, but not required for
attendance)<b><br>
</b> <br>
Drs. Bell and Halstead have asked postdocs to submit
sample Teaching and Research Statements for this
session. These statements can be highly polished, or
they can be rough drafts in early stages of development.
The speakers will incorporate these statements in their
talk, and discuss how to develop them further, as a
learning exercise for all in the audience. Reviews will
be positive, in-depth and highly supportive, and
postdocs whose samples are selected for review will, of
course, have clear suggestions for how to improve the
statements they submit.<br>
<br>
Please send sample statements to Dr. Sonal Jhaveri at <a
class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="mailto:sonal@mit.edu">sonal@mit.edu</a>. Note:
if we receive a lot of submissions, Drs. Bell and
Halstead will select a few to work with during the
session. If you wish, you can remove your identifying
information from the statements before submitting. <br>
