The Academic Job Search Session 3: Interviewing

Facilitated by: Prof. Seth Dworkin, Canada Research Chair, and Academic Lead, Postdoctoral Fellows, YSGPS

What does an academic interview entail, and how can you prepare? Academic interviews are often full day or multi-day endeavors, and can be quite onerous. They may involve the candidate giving a research presentation, a mock teaching lecture, and will usually have a formal Q&A interview session. This session will introduce a typical interview schedule, provide tips on giving a research presentation and mock lecture, and review typical questions that get asked during the Q&A session. Time-permitting, we also hope to role-play interview Q&A with volunteers.

TMU graduate students and postdocs from all disciplines are invited to attend! This session qualifies for the Future Smart program.
