Faculty Job Search Series (FJSS)

The Faculty Job Search Series (FJSS) supports graduate students and postdocs who are preparing for the faculty job market.  The program brings together expertise from around the Institute, including faculty, CAPD, the Writing and Communication Center, the Teaching and Learning Lab, the OGE, and the Engineering Communication Labs. 

Build a strong application informed by experts across the Institute via overviews, faculty panels, deep dives, and hands-on-workshops aligned with the timeline of the faculty job search.

For more on the faculty job search, visit the CAPD Academia and Education career interest page for additional resources.

Academic Job Search: Lessons Learned
Are you interested in pursuing the faculty career path? Join this virtual panel conversation featuring new faculty who have successfully navigated the search process to land a faculty role at MIT. This is a unique opportunity to learn more about the specific challenges involved in the search and strategies you can use to meet them in your own journey. After the formal panel discussion, the panel will welcome audience questions.

This CAPD event is open to MIT PhDs and postdocs.

Please indicate any accommodation needs by completing the following survey.

Note: Accommodation requests should be submitted one week in advance of an event. If accommodations are not possible due to the late timing of the request a team member will reach out to you to discuss alternative resources and/or solutions.
