Not sure if a research and teaching faculty position is right for you? This webinar on exploring careers in nonfaculty academic positions features insights from a panel of three passionate individuals who support the research and educational activities at their institutions. Their careers encompass diverse roles like advising, curriculum development, research administration, grant writing and program coordination. Collaborating with faculty, administrators and students, nonfaculty professionals enhance the academic experience, promote scholarly activities and support institutional goals. They foster success, design innovative programs, manage research, analyze data and ensure efficiency. Nonfaculty careers provide unique and varied opportunities to apply your scientific expertise and transferable skills within a familiar academic setting.
