CTLO Panel: "Careers in Teaching: Faculty Perspectives"
What does a professor's job actually look like? How do you even get there? The answers to these questions can vary widely across different types of positions and different institutions of higher education. In this first part of a two-part series on careers in teaching, we will explore this wide range of faculty experiences. Join our four panelists for a discussion about their academic journey to where they are now, their experiences & expectations as a faculty member at their institution, and their advice for graduate students/postdocs hoping to follow in their footsteps.
Panelists:
Dr. Na Young Kim, Associate Professor at the Institute for Quantum Computing, the Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology, and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Waterloo (Canada)
Dr. Joel Ledford, Assistant Professor of Teaching in Biology, University of California, Davis
Dr. Theresa Lynn, Susan and Bruce Worster Professor of Physics and chair of the Department of Physics at Harvey Mudd College
Dr. Erica Wildy, Professor of Biology, California State University, East Bay
