This is just a quick note that the APA has an upcoming webinar for those heading out on the job market (see below). I think it is great that the APA is increasingly pursuing initiatives such like these (see also here), and think it is good to amplify and support these kinds of endeavors:
To help philosophers navigating the academic job market, as well as faculty advising students and colleagues about applying for academic jobs, the APA virtual programming committee has organized a webinar: Preparing for the Academic Job Market.
.....
This webinar will address what is expected in academic job applications: how do you determine your AOS or AOC, and what are the features of strong cover letters, diversity statements, or teaching portfolios? What do different kinds of institutions look for in a successful applicant? How has the academic hiring process changed in recent years? After the panel discusses these and other topics, the audience will have a chance to ask the panelists questions on their experiences and advice for academic job searching.
The panelists for the webinar are as follows:
-
- Helen De Cruz, Professor, Danforth Chair in the Humanities and Professor of Philosophy, Saint Louis University
- Richard Legum, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Kingsborough Community College of the City University of New York
- Shannon Spaulding, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Oklahoma State University
- Benjamin S. Yost, Professor of Philosophy (Adjunct), Cornell University (formerly Professor of Philosophy, Providence College)
- Lauren Ashwell, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Bates College (facilitator/moderator)
The webinar will be held on Wednesday, August 18 at 3:30 p.m. Eastern time / 12:30 p.m. Pacific time. To participate, register on the APA website. Registration will be available until 10 a.m. Eastern time / 7 a.m. Pacific time on the day of the webinar, and access information will be provided to registrants at least one hour prior to the start of the webinar.
