Faculty Job Search Prep Camp – Overview of the Academic Job Search

What’s the typical timeline of a faculty job search? What are search committees looking for? What should you expect at each stage of the process? This video will provide an overview of what a tenure-track job search process looks like from beginning to end. We’ll discuss how application materials, interviewing, and negotiating fit into a process that starts with a job announcement and ends with a new hire as an assistant professor. We will also run through some of the best online tools you can use to support your faculty application, including: the National Center for Faculty Development & Diversity, Aurora, LinkedIn, and the Career Services website.
