Researching what type of academic position is right for you takes assessing your professional and personal goals and knowledge of the numerous types of academic institutions hiring faculty, staff, and administrators. Institution types range from primarily undergraduate institutions and comprehensive universities to research intensive, minority serving, and faith-based institutions. What is the best type for you? Within each institution type, there are also numerous types of "appointments" individuals can hold spanning research, teaching, outreach, and service. Participants will explore the various institution types during the session and discuss how to align their written materials with the mission and values of an institution to be a competitive candidate.
Facilitators: Dr. Rique Campa and Dr. Stefanie Baier
