<p>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.<br>
Dr. Donald Halstead is Instructor of Writing at Harvard School of
Public Health, and works with students, postdoctoral research
fellows, research scientists and faculty to help produce leaders
in public health research and practice by improving their writing,
critical thinking, and communication skills.<br>
Dr. Michelle Bell is Assistant Dean for Educational Programs at
the Harvard School of Public Health. She has a PhD in education
and her area of research is in human development. She works with
faculty and academic departments developing new courses,
concentrations and degree programs. She teaches faculty and
postdoctoral fellows workshops on designing courses and developing
grading rubrics.</p>
