Career Landscape Workshop - May 23, 2024

Options are increasing for PhD recipients who want to pursue a career focused on undergraduate teaching. Most PhD-granting departments have introduced a teaching faculty track, often with academic rank, while many masters-granting and primarily undergraduate institutions are expanding their computing programs. Teaching-focused faculty often pursue research with undergraduates or research on computing education.

In this virtual workshop series, experienced and successful academic leaders, as well as junior faculty in different teaching-oriented positions, will compare teaching-focused career paths, highlight how to best prepare for teaching positions, and discuss how to effectively apply for different kinds of positions.
