This is part of Level 2: Skills Training of PhD Plus Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences Future Faculty module.
In this session, we will have Dr. Jennifer Bair, Professor & Department Chair from UVA's Sociology Department to share her thoughts on how to talk about one's research agenda as one transition from a student/postdoc to a faculty. After addressing the following aspects, you will get a chance to ask your questions.
- What’s expected in a job talk?
- How to prepare for the job talk?
- The Dos and Don’ts.
- What makes a candidate stand out?
- How to pitch to the search committee and faculty members?
- What about virtual talks? (This would be particularly relevant to this year’s candidates)
