Applying for a professor position can be a daunting process, and often, the different steps of this process are not well known. This workshop shows how the process works, from the moment the job announcement is formulated to the final decision of who receives the job offer. Moreover, and most importantly, this workshop shows what some of the most essential elements are that will help you increase your chances of success.
This workshop will help you to be well prepared when you apply, by providing (some) answers to the following questions:
• How does the recruitment process work • How does the recruitment commission work and who decides what
• How to interact with the recruitment commission
• How to prepare your application package
• How to prepare for your visit: your presentation, interview, discussions with members of the department/institute/faculty
Approach
Various inputs linked to individual and group exercises. We will also reserve some time for individual questions.
