Preparing your Teaching Statement

Event Description

For Postdocs Only: Offered in collaboration with the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs as part of The Faculty Job Search Series.

If you are applying for an academic position, it is likely that you will be asked to submit a teaching philosophy statement during the application process. Participants in this Job Market series workshop will learn about why academic search committees request teaching materials such as the teaching philosophy statement and how search committees use these materials to assess candidates’ qualifications for teaching. Further, this workshop will help participants navigate the genre of the teaching statement, offering them the opportunity to begin to think about how they will frame their commitment to teaching, and describe their teaching methods and goals to others in their academic fields.

REGISTER for the workshop (and others in the series)

Workshops will take place on the Medical Campus from 9-10:30am. 

If you have any questions, please reach out to Peter Myers or Lisa Kuehne.
