Newly updated for COVID-19 conditions, in this 90-minute webinar we examine the other two primary documents in an academic job application--the teaching statement and research statement. I explain the role of each of these in presenting your profile, and the relative importance of each in the deliberations of the search committee. I then give recommendations for the most effective content, organization, and tone of each of these documents, with examples.

The Teaching Statement is perhaps the most difficult of all job documents to write, and I spend particular time on its purpose and execution, and the many common pitfalls common to this document, especially weepiness and hyper-emotionalism. I also introduce organizational tips for the Research Statement with attention to effective sentence and paragraph structure. We talk about how to address COVID realities, like the need to describe online teaching skills, and when your research is interrupted due to lockdown.

There will be 30 minutes of Q and A at the end. All participants get access a free downloadable recording; this comes 24 hours after the live event. Check your spam and Promotions folder if you don't see it.
