This panel-style discussion focuses on the initial steps of the academic job application process, from navigating the academic job market to finding and deciphering job advertisements, and preparing a competitive application for an assistant professor position. The panelists discuss practical tips from different perspectives: postdoctoral fellows currently on the job market, a recently appointed assistant professor and people who read and evaluate the job applications — a recent department chair and an academic dean.
