cirtl coffee hour, october 21 – teaching and research at different institutions

posted by on friday, october 15, 2010 in events.

the 2010-2011 coffee hour series provides an opportunity for stem (science, technology, engineering, & math) graduate students and post docs to get together online and talk about careers and the academic job search. the series will be facilitated by a mix of young faculty who have recently secured positions and more seasoned tenured faculty. the next coffee hour will be held thursday, october 21, 2010, from 12 to 1 pm central.

where do you want to work? teaching and research at different institutions

panelists:

  • dr. adam hoffman – university of dubuque
  • dr. kathryn devine – college of idaho
  • dr. sarah bannen – madison area technical college, mathematics department

what balance do you want between teaching and research? what are the differences teaching at a small liberal arts college, research university, or a 2 year community college? what is important to you regarding course load, student contact, research support, department size, or tenure requirements?

the diversity of post-secondary institutions may be far broader than you have considered. come and hear a panel of new faculty from very different institutions talk about their teaching experiences and academic life. there will be lots of time for questions and discussion.
