Each section of this module is designed to offer you information about faculty job search timelines, networks, documents and statements. Use this guide to help you gather the information you need, reflect on your goals, begin drafting your documents, refine existing application materials, and locate helpful resources.
This course is intended to meet you where you are, as a conversation partner, in the strategic and creative process of drafting your faculty application materials. There is a lot of materials here, so don’t try to take it in all at once. Of course, we recommend reading every section fully, but feel free to skip around if some sections are more pertinent to your needs than others.
We’re excited to accompany you as you begin your faculty job search!
