Path of Professorship Workshop 2020

Applications close tomorrow, October 15



******************************
The Office of Graduate Education is pleased to announce the opening of this year's application to our Path of Professorship workshop. This workshop is designed for graduate and post-doctoral womxn, an umbrella term we use to mean cisgender and transgender women, non-binary people, and gender diverse people. The workshop's aim is to provide information about academic scientific careers and the application process. Each year we are able to gather a wonderful group of womxn professors from MIT and a diverse range of colleges and universities about their experiences in academia. This year is no different and we are expecting an exciting and informative weekend.



Attendees learn:

  *   Key strategies for applying and interviewing for academic positions
  *   The importance of networking and how to manage networking with peers and superiors
  *   Insights from deans and department chairs about what to negotiate for once ​you have the offer
  *   Advice from faculty on things you can do now and during your hire to make your tenure-track years as smooth and successful as possible
  *   Characteristics of different types of universities
  *   Advice on maintaining a balanced life, in light of rigorous demands of a career in academia
**Note: materials and networking opportunities will be provided

​Path of Professorship will be held over Zoom this year and will be split up into three different days: Friday, November 6th - Sunday, November 8th from 1 PM EST to about 5/6 PM EST each day. Topics covered will range from "What Type of Institution is Right for You?" to "The Tenure Process".
