Academic Job Search: Research and Teaching Statements

The 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, illustrates your bright future. As perhaps the most misunderstood and inadequately written document of all, the teaching statement reveals your burgeoning identity in the classroom. Join Dan Olson-Bang, Director of Professional and Career Development at the Graduate School, to learn how to make these essential documents become core to an unforgettable package. This is part 2 of a 5-part series on the academic job search, May 22-26. Lunch is provided!
