Purdue Prospective Faculty Workshop (PPFW)

The College of Engineering at Purdue University is inviting postdocs and advanced Ph.D. students in Engineering to apply for participation in an expenses-paid, two-day workshop (March 2-3, 2015) designed to help them develop the skills important for success in a faculty career. The workshop will begin with an overview of what is expected of a tenure-track faculty member at a major research university. That presentation will be followed by a series of interactive sessions on topics such as preparing to teach a course, writing a research proposal, working with a mentor to write a professional development plan, networking, and making good use of conferences and membership in professional organizations.
