Teaching and Research Statements

Research and Teaching Statements are the subtlest part of your package. The Research Statement highlights the value of your work to date, but more crucially, it tells the committee about your bright future. The most misunderstood (and inadequately written) document of all, the Teaching Statement, reveals your burgeoning identity in the classroom. In Part 3 of the Graduate School’s 4-part series on Applying for Academic Jobs, Dan Olson-Bang and Glenn Wright will discuss how to make these essential documents core to an unforgettable package.
