BPDA Interview Series, part #2B – Teaching statements 2.0

November 20, 2019 - 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

Description

Part 2B of the BPDA’s Academic Interview Preparation series is a follow-up to October 23rd’s excellent workshop with Sarah Hokanson.
Anyone can attend part 2B! You did not need to be at 2A. As long as you have a teaching statement drafted, you are most welcome to register for this workshop.
FOllowing part 2A, the group decided it would be benefical to utilize the skills from that workshop, focused largely on the purpose & nuts and bolts of writing teaching statements, by writing drafts and peer reviewing each other’s work.
Workshop Part 2B will happen on November 20th from 6:00-7:30pm, and will work as follows:
  1. Register via Eventbrite.
  2. Postdocs submit their statements one week prior to the workshop. We will create a link for uploading with relevant instructions and send via your registered email.
  3. Participants will be matched ** IN ADVANCE** to read statements – usually in pairs. Please, if you register for this event, do your very best to attend. Your partner will be depending on you.
  4. Peer review happens inside the workshop.
  5. You will disperse and be well-equipped to prepare your application packages!
The session will be hosted by Dr. Sarah Hokanson, Assistant Provost, Professional Development & Postdoctoral Affairs, Boston University. Dr. Hokanson has extensive experience with postdoc career development and planning, including interview documentation and interview preparation.
Don’t miss it!
