• Graduate students will learn about:
  • Where to find information to apply for faculty and post-doctoral positions
  • What and what not to do during a job interview
  • How to discuss the terms of a work contract
• Early career faculty will learn about:

We are open to the possibility of having another session dedicated to rehearsing job talks and practicing mock job interviews as well as advice about improving CV and application letter. If you are interested in these activities, please contact Sandy Dall’erba (dallerba@illinois.edu) by January 5^th.

In addition, the students will be able to participate in a Graduate Student Round Table Meeting designed to foster their national and international network and launch the WRSA student association.
