Northeastern ADVANCE Future Faculty Workshops (FFW) are designed for senior graduate students and post docs with interest in faculty careers. Future Faculty Workshops are themed in discipline clusters and held in conjunction with interdisciplinary workshops or conferences on campus or in the Boston area. In addition to attending a professional conference, invited participants will attend a one day workshop that provides information to stimulate professional growth. Past workshop topics have included:
- Making new contacts
- Interviewing
- Communicating and sharing ideas
- Negotiating a package
- Writing proposals
- Creating Education plans
- Discovery and synthesis of teaching resources
- Mentoring
- Network building
- A collaborative interdisciplinary environment
In addition to excellence in scholarship, acceptance will be based on the ability of the participant to enhance the diversity of the professoriate in engineering and science, so there is a focus on women and underrepresented minorities. Applications are sought from senior PhD students (one or two years away from graduating) and Postdoctoral Research Associates. If your application is accepted, travel expenses to the meeting will be supported by the Northeastern ADVANCE program.
