We encourage you to attend! Please forward any questions about the event to Rosanne Ecker of the SU Career Services Office here.

ACADEMIC JOB SEARCH FOR PHD STUDENTS and POSTDOCS:
Fridays, Oct. 7, 14 and 21 from 2 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. in  Bowne, room 218.

Session #1 (Oct. 7): Fine tune your CV and  learn to do a “close reading” of job ads for faculty positions. Learn to make your CV best match the positions you’re applying for!  
Session #2 (Oct. 14) : What constitutes a compelling academic cover letter and  teaching statement? Learn key places to be strategic in highlighting the match between you the college or university you are applying to.  
Session #3  (Oct. 21) : Learn to become a more competitive interviewee.  An interview is far more that showing up and answering questions. What else is it? How can you shine? Come find out!

PS  If your deadlines for applying for faculty jobs are very soon and you’d like some tips or a review of your materials, you can set up an individual meeting with me in September by calling 443.3616. The receptionist has my schedule.  

PPS We held our first meeting of  first generation PhD students during the summer and began a very good conversation. We will be holding the second conversation over lunch later in September.  If you are a doc student or post doc from a non-college educated family, and are interested in joining the conversation, please send me a direct email. We will meet in September around the schedules of those who respond.
