2008 Mentoring Symposium on
"Gainfully Employed: From Launching a Job Search to Navigating
Negotiations"
(Mentoring Workshop Sponsored
by Women in APS and ASPET Committees)
Organizers:
Siribhinya Benyajati (APS)
Colleen Cosgrove Hegg (APS)
Jelveh Lameh (ASPET)
Date: Tuesday, April 8
Time: 8:00 - 10:00 am
Location: San Diego Convention Center
This career development symposium will address the needs of early
career scientists who will soon transition into new professional
appointment. The workshop will provide information regarding 1)
launching a job search, particularly for a dual-career couple; 2)
delivering a job talk: formal seminar vs. chalk-talk; 3) the art of
interviewing; and 4) negotiation tips. Each speaker has a significant
amount of recent experience in their particular topic and each will give
a 15-minute informative presentation.
The session will include mock sessions on interview and negotiation
in which videotapes of someone interviewing for a faculty position and
discussing negotiations on their salary and resources will be shown
following the talks of the same topics. The mock sessions will form the
basis of an interactive exercise where the audience discuss and critique
the taped interview and negotiation. Two pairs of a junior faculty
person and his/her respective chair will participate in the taped mock
sessions and they will be present during the workshop.
The session complements the workshop on Marketing
Yourself on Paper for Academic Positions proposed by the Trainee
Advisory Committee for Experimental Biology 2008. The symposium will be
of interest to scientists of all stages of professional development
seeking a position, from trainees to established investigators.
