The sessions is designed for current PhD students. The focus will be on successfully navigating the job market, how to make yourself marketable during the PhD program and what to expect from your first few years as an assistant professor. We will discuss alternative paths to academia and how to target those jobs as well. The panel will consist of professors and practitioners who have both worked with PhD students and been hired for their departments in the past. Additionally, the panel will include a current PhD student who can offer the student perspective. • Inga Timmerman (Moderator) • Terrance Martin • Qi Sun • Tanya Staples
