16.014 - Division C Fireside Chat: The Journey From Doctoral Student to a Tenure-Track Job

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

Graduate students believe that navigating the job market consists of following a precise flow chart, consisting of the perfect pathway to gaining employment. However, there are many different roads that may be traveled when seeking tenure line employment, and not all are immediately following a dissertation defense or the completion of a post doc. This Fireside Chat will introduce graduate students to collection of professors, each with a unique tale of how they traveled the sometimes frustrating, but rewarding road from doc student to professor. Graduate students of all stages are encouraged to attend.
