OPA Program

Tuesday, May 27, 12:00pm-1:20pm, LKSC

Are you going on the faculty job market next fall? Now that universities are no longer asking for a Diversity Statement, you need to rethink your strategy for demonstrating who you are and what you care about. 

This workshop will walk you through how to incorporate your story and your values into every aspect of your faculty job application materials. 

Your postdoc training is more than just research! Apply design thinking to the wicked problem of a comprehensive postdoctoral training plan and make a bold plan that amplifies your interests and values as you transition to your career of choice. The work we do together will support new perspectives, identify mentoring needs, and ensure that your individual development plan is thoughtful and balanced.

Note: there is approximately an hour of required prework for this session. You will receive details for the prework upon registration.
