September 30, 2026 | 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM ET
Academic job interviews are complex, high-stakes experiences that require candidates to communicate their research, teaching, leadership potential, and professional fit across multiple settings and audiences. This workshop will help graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and research fellows understand the structure, expectations, and nuances of the academic job interview process, whether they are preparing for the current hiring cycle or planning ahead for a future search.
Participants will explore common interview formats, job talk and chalk talk strategies, what to expect, and how to prepare. The workshop will address how to communicate research effectively to diverse audiences, prepare for common interview questions, deliver compelling job talks, and navigate meetings with faculty, trainees, and administrators. It will also cover how to evaluate institutional fit, raise sensitive or critical personal considerations, and present yourself professionally and authentically throughout the interview process. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage directly with the instructor.
