This group is for those who would like to share resources related to the academic job market (and, perhaps, the alt-ac market). It is a collegial, supportive community driven by hope and pragmatism.
The “site” is where we host blog posts about the job market and instructions on uploading materials. Sample application materials are hosted under “Docs”.

If you are a faculty member instituting alt-ac programming as part of a professionalization initiative, here are some things to think about.
If you are a grad student, consider whether you can get a group of students together to have a conversation rather than talking with someone one-on-one. Share the love. |
