Georgia Tech is hosting NextProf NEXUS in Atlanta, Oct 2-5, 2019. This workshop – co-organized by GT, University of Michigan, and UC Berkeley - aims to diversify the engineering professoriate by bringing 50-60 senior PhD students and postdocs together for an intensive 3-day bootcamp on the faculty search process, with an emphasis on underrepresented populations.
Applications are due June 10. Please help us spread the word to potential participants by:
Nominating senior PhD students, post-docs and recent graduates interested in academic positions
Forwarding the message below to potential candidates and encouraging them to apply
Forwarding the message to colleagues at other institutions
NextProf Nexus is a three-day program that is part of a nationwide effort to strengthen and diversify the next generation of academic leaders in engineering. This preeminent event is designed to give participants the opportunity to explore and prepare for a faculty position in academia.
Join a select cohort of diverse engineering Ph.D. students, recent doctoral graduates and top faculty and deans from around the country. NextProf Nexus is inclusive with respect to ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, ability, veteran status, socio economic status, first generation to college status, religion, and national of origin.
We strongly encourage women and traditionally underrepresented groups at U.S. institutions who are senior-level Ph.D. candidates, postdoctoral researchers or early-career scientists and researchers in the field of engineering to apply.
Attendees will leave NextProf with a clear understanding of the academic job market and how to navigate the rigors of first faculty positions.
