Podcasts about academic jobs

Universities worldwide are producing a record number of doctoral graduates, but the number of available faculty positions has not kept pace. The post #618 Why No One Can Get Academic Jobs Right Now appeared first on Cheeky Scientist.

In this episode I chat with Dr. Virginia Salo and Dr. Shabnam Hakimi about the pipeline to industry and alternative academic jobs. We discuss the decision to leave academia, the crafting your CV into a resume, the day-to-day of alternative careers, and how to maintain a work-life balance.For a full transcript visit: bit.ly/FluxSensitivePeriodsS1Ep3Follow us on Social Media!Twitter: @FluxSociety Facebook: facebook.com/FluxSociety/LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/fluxsociety/

Teaching demos are an often-overlooked part of an academic job interview, and they're just as mysterious as their cousin, the teaching statement or “philosophy.” Dan Olson-Bang, Ph.D., breaks down the elements of a good demo, suggesting how to avoid inevitable pitfalls and, equally important, how to succeed at this sometimes-tricky assignment.

In this episode, we are talking about the academic job market! We challenge the notion that academia is meritocratic. We highlight how fraught applying for academics job can be for many marginalized folks, especially those who are first-gen, working-class, racialized, and queer. We wonder whether typical job market advice, such as moving anywhere there is a job and prioritizing top schools (R1 schools for Americans) over other schools makes sense. And we also address ways to try to take back agency in a fundamentally messed up and inequitable structure. Joining us today is https://maryannesmendoza.wordpress.com/ (Dr. Mary Anne S. Mendoza) (https://twitter.com/MaryAnneSMM (@MaryAnneSMM)), Assistant Professor of Political Science at CalState Pomona, and https://wgsi.utoronto.ca/person/robert-diaz/ (Dr. Robert Diaz), Associate Professor in the Women & Gender Studies Institute at the University of Toronto.

How much should the discipline value public scholarship? What to make of public scholarship on new media?

Should we end the practice of asking for recommendation letters in the first round of academic hires

FATE Conference 2019 "The Secret Handshake"   Abstract: The mysterious inner workings of academia, museum and gallery systems, and granting agencies are not always evident to individuals who desire to work with/in them. If only we had insight into what the hiring committee/ granting agency/ juries were thinking, we could customize our submissions materials to be most appropriate. We all know that we need to have sharp images and equally strong written content, but what are the more nuanced things that we should be taking into consideration? This panel invites individuals who have been on search committees, juries, or other relevant committees who will share their experience and insider knowledge of the selection process. Also, it invites individuals who have found successful ways of navigating these systems from the outside from managing their academic career to finding and creating exhibition opportunities. Sometimes it seems like you need to know the secret handshake to be successful in academia and the arts; this panel seeks to let people in on the secret.    Panelists: "The Successful Candidate: Two Perspectives on the Tenure-Track Faculty Search Process" Amy Broderick, Florida Atlantic University Corey Lamb, Florida Atlantic University   "Giving It the Ol' College Try" Jessica Burke, University of North Carolina Charlotte   "Finding the Candidate that Fits the Glass Slipper" Kathy Liao, Missouri Western State University
