10 Using Transferable Skills Today

11 The Academic Job Search: The Job Materials Dr. Beth A. Boehm, Dean School of Interdisciplinary and Graduate Studies

12 From the beginning You are preparing for the job search from the day you begin graduate school Your choice of MENTOR matters: cultivate a professional relationship and ask for advice NETWORK: join professional and scholarly associations; attend presentations by faculty and visiting scholars; participate in electronic discussion lists; attend conferences, with and without your mentor. PRESENT and PUBLISH your work if you can so others know your work

13 What s a perfect match? Before applying, I did not think that I really wanted the job that I currently hold. I didn t know much about the institution and wasn t sure it was the right fit for me. I applied, worked my through the rankings, and found out the institution was the perfect match for me.

14 Teaching versus Research? I was burned out on research when I started looking for my first academic job. I decided to look at primarily undergraduate institutions so I could focus on teaching. I still have opportunity for research, but I don t feel like I m constantly fighting to get grants to get tenure, and the pressure just isn t as great.

15 Research versus Teaching? I haven t had much experience teaching, and I m really somewhat introverted. I prefer teaching one-on-one, and I think I d like the challenge of leading a research team. I ve had some experience as the lead graduate student in my mentor s lab, and I liked working with newer graduate students and undergrads. I m just not sure about having a heavy teaching load.

16 Personal Considerations After graduate school, my husband (not an academic) and I decided that we wanted to move back to the upper Midwest because we love it there and could be near our families. I began a location-based job search, but it was something my mentor discouraged. There were few PhD granting institutions in that region of the country, and he wanted me to get a job at a research I institution like the one I was graduating from. I felt like he was disappointed in me.

17 Beginning the Job Search Factors to Consider: Institution type Region of the country Partner s career To Do: Look at listings (journals, listserves, job-lists)at least a year in advance Talk to your mentor about where to search Read ads carefully for requirements

18 Assembling a Dossier A dossier is a collection of papers giving detailed information about a particular person. For a job search, it usually contains A curriculum vitae A cover letter Letters of recommendation (or names of references) It might also contain A statement of Teaching Philosophy A statement of Research Goals A writing sample

19 Curriculum vitae Curriculum vitae is Latin for course of life, and a c.v. should tell the course of your professional life: Name and contact info Education Professional Experience Publications Conference Proceedings/Conference Presentations Awards and Honors; Special Certifications or Professional Development Certificates References

20 Cover letter 1-2 pages, well-written, intelligent, and without errors or typos (HAVE OTHERS READ IT) Job you are seeking at the particular institution How experience matches job advertised Not a narrative restatement of c.v.; clarify an experience and explain how it would help in the position advertised Tailored to the particular institution and particular job Final paragraph should offer additional materials or web-address where teaching statement, writing sample, etc., can be found. Be sure to thank committee for its time in considering you.

21 Research Documents Dissertation Abstract One page description of dissertation showing importance of research. Clear what you did and why we should care. Write, rewrite, and seek critiques from your advisor as well as other faculty who do not know your research as well as your advisor does. Research Statement 1-2 page document describing what you will do with the dissertation and what your next project will be. Committees want to see that you are beginning to think of yourself as an independent researcher. Not all committees want this document, but writing it is great practice for the interview.

22 Teaching Documents Statement of Teaching Philosophy Brief essay describing what you do in the classroom to help students learn the material. General statements about style, focus on students, specific examples that illustrate your philosophy. If you ve participated in the GTA Academy or other teacher training, please say so. Teaching Portfolio Statement of Teaching Philosophy Sample syllabi of courses taught, exams or assignments devised, student comments, etc. Usually one doesn t send this unless asked, but a webbased version can be mentioned in your cover letter.

23 Writing Sample In some fields, writing samples are part of the initial application; in others, a writing sample is only asked for after the candidate has made an initial cut. Often, a chapter of your dissertation is requested: make sure you provide context for that chapter and that it can stand on its own fairly well. If long, direct readers to the most important part. If you have a published work that you contributed to in a significant manner, that can also serve as a writing sample. Apart from the dissertation, it s better to send published rather than unpublished material.

24 Application 1. Send only what they want and send exactly what is requested to each institution. 2. Official Transcripts 3. Give your references enough time and information to prepare their letters

25 While you wait.. Search Committees will screen applications, choosing 1) Who to interview by phone or at an academic conference (this varies by discipline) and/or 2) Who to bring to campus for a 1-2 day interview

26 While you wait Don t waste time while you wait to hear from schools: You should prepare a job talk Practice your interviewing skills Ask your mentor to arrange a mock interview for you Finish your dissertation if it s not already finished
