The tenure and promotion process in both academia and industry are of
crucial importance for career development, and cause intense stress
among early career investigators in both settings. Yet many are confused
and overwhelmed by these issues and at a loss where to find the critical
information they require. The goal of this symposium is to elucidate
these issues as they apply in several settings including medical
schools, universities, colleges, industry, government, and the military.
The target audience is early career
investigators in these settings as well as graduate students and
postdoctoral fellows seeking information on the career development
process in different career paths. Specific issues that will be
addressed include publicized vs. unpublicized expectations, the changing
face of tenure, transparency of the promotion
process, advice speakers wish someone told them.
