Options are increasing for PhD recipients who want to pursue a career focused on undergraduate teaching. Most PhD-granting departments have introduced a teaching faculty track, often with academic rank, while many masters-granting and primarily undergraduate institutions are expanding their computing programs. Teaching-focused faculty often pursue research with undergraduates or research on computing education.
In this virtual workshop, experienced and successful academic leaders, as well as junior faculty in different teaching-oriented positions, will compare teaching-focused career paths, highlight how to best prepare for teaching positions, and discuss how to effectively apply for different kinds of positions.
The workshop will consist of three, 80-minute interactive sessions, scheduled over three Thursdays in May. Each session will include a formal panel presentation, time for candid Q&A with the panelists, and a breakout session for networking and small group conversations.
In preparation for your selected workshop sessions, participants are encouraged to watch the CRA-E Teaching Faculty 101 video:
