This is the second session of Level 1 PhD Plus AHSS Future Faculty series.
In this panel, you can learn from the experiences of faculty panelists from humanities and social science disciplines. The panelists are affiliated with various higher education institutions and will share their day-to-day professional life as faculty members. This panel discussion will be especially helpful for PhD students and Postdocs entering the faculty job market to learn more about how expectations, campus culture, and application process may differ from institution to institution. With the information presented, you can better identify the type of institutions and faculty careers most ideal to you and tailor your materials accordingly. Participants have the opportunity to submit questions before and directly engage with panelists during the discussion.
