Research Seminar
Seminar: What They Don't Tell You in Graduate School about Academic Careers
| Abstract: | The speaker will share his own perspectives, along with those of his friends and colleagues, about the choices and challenges of academic careers. Issues to be discussed include: characteristics for academic success, choosing an academic career, choosing a research area, choosing an advisor, optimizing your academic job search, the publication process, research funding, building a research group, faculty politics, career salary profiles, financial independence, typical workloads, allocation of your time at various career stages, teaching tips, book writing, enhancing your professional visibility, professional service, conferences, consulting, some cautions, and the academic midlife crisis. The talk is informal, and audience participation is strongly encouraged. The talk is intended primarily for Ph.D. students who are considering an academic career. However, faculty are welcome to attend and share their experiences. |
