Finding a job in academia (or not) Job Search

By functionology
from the UCSD math department
Posted Fri Jun 05, 2009 at 11:13:15 AM PDT
Entering this past school year, my singular intent was to find a job in academia. I gathered together the myriad pieces of job apps in advance, picked the brains of my adviser, my friends, past grad students, etc. for all manner of advice; googled articles and got organized early. From August through April, I found myself shifting decidedly from one aspect of the job search to another.

Career Mentoring Workshop for Women Job Search

By sastewart
Posted Thu Apr 02, 2009 at 07:20:51 AM PDT
The 3rd annual Career Mentoring Worskhop (CaMeW) for Women in the mathematical sciences will be held July 26-28, 2009 at Wheaton College (Massachusetts). The goals of the workshop are to help inform women finishing their PhDs about different aspects of the job search and different career paths and to introduce them to peers and mentors on whom they can call over the next year (and beyond). The program has a small number of participants (10-15 per summer) and is run by a diverse group of mentors (both junior and senior faculty from many different types of institutions). We've received lots of positive feedback from the previous 2 years' participants about how much the program has helped prepare them for the job search in terms of thinking about their options and giving them extra confidence in themselves. We are currently soliciting applications from women who are intending to finish their PhDs next year. Funding from an MAA/Tensor grant, Wheaton College and the Math Department at the US Military Academy at West Point will provide at least partial funding for all participants. You can find more information at our website: http://www.wheatoncollege.edu/CaMeW/. The application deadline is May 15th.

How were the Joint Meetings?
Fantastic! We shouldn't wait another 15 years to go back!
Nice, except for that crazy violin talk.
Don't know - I only saw the inside of the Employment Center
If we had any travel money, I'm sure I would have enjoyed it
