Academic Career Mentoring Panel Series

Speaker: Dr. James Moore and Panel, Viterbi School of Engineering

Talk Title: New Options in Academe: Choosing Between Tenure-Track and Non Tenure-Track Faculty Appointments

Abstract: Viterbi PhD students and postdocs are invited to our Fall 2015 mentoring panel. Academe is changing, and doctoral graduates in engineering are presented with a wider array of career opportunities than ever before. Growth in non tenure-track faculty positions has been expansive nation-wide, and competition for tenure-track positions, while always intense, has become even more competitive. Graduates face choices between pursuing research faculty, teaching faculty, and tenure-track faculty positions at public and private institutions that may focus on teaching or research or both.
