Academic job searches are demanding more of applicants. Successful candidates are able to discuss and demonstrate strong teaching skills as well as research acumen. This course helps graduate students prepare teaching materials for academic job searches. The challenge is to distill teaching experiences into engaging and comprehensive written and oral materials that dovetail with research materials. The course also assists graduate students who have not taught (or taught much) in developing strong materials for an academic job search.

Advanced graduate students who are:
Planning to go on the academic job market in 4-24 months.
Hoping to teach at 2-year, 4-year and/or research universities.

Integrated teaching experience and awards into the CV.
Gained additional experience around inclusive teaching and teaching with technologies
