CIRTL Coffee Hour March 17 – The Academic Interview
The 2010-2011 CIRTL Coffee Hour Series provides an opportunity for STEM (science, technology, engineering, & math) graduate students and post docs to get together online and talk about careers and the academic job search. The series is facilitated by a mix of young faculty who have recently secured positions and more seasoned tenured faculty.
The next Coffee Hour will be held Thursday, March 17, 2011, from 12 to 1 pm Central, and features two panelists discussing their experience on the academic job market. One of the panelists is Karla Welch, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Louisville. Karla is a PhD graduate of Vanderbilt University, and she completed our Teaching Certificate and Teaching-as-Research Fellows programs.
