Sociology 690N - Negotiating/Academic Job Mrkt

The workshop provides students with an overview of how the academic job market works, including the many different kinds of faculty jobs sociologists might take. Importantly, the course provides students an opportunity to develop their job market materials -- their c.v., letters of application, teaching portfolio, research statement, diversity statement -- through workshopping the materials over the course of the semester. In addition, students will learn the ins and out of writing job talks, and interviewing for faculty jobs, as well as negotiating for the resources they need to succeed once offered jobs.

Open to doctoral students in the School of Social and Behavioral Sciences.
