Faculty Conversations on the Academic Job Search

Each spring semester Career Services and the Deputy Provost co-sponsor a series of noontime faculty conversations that focus on topics of interest to doctoral students. The series is entitled "Faculty Conversations on the Academic Job Search and Academic Life," and for most programs, speakers are Penn faculty. Faculty speakers often find it enjoyable to present and discuss issues with a faculty member from a different discipline. Doctoral students are very grateful for the chance to hear about these topics and ask questions. The series for this spring is:
