Get ready for the upcoming academic job season by participating in our three-week 2025 Future Faculty Boot Camp.
Overview
This year’s boot camp will help you prepare your materials for the faculty job market. We will also cover strategies for navigating the application process and academic job market resources available to UW–Madison postdocs.
Every participant will have the opportunity to draft and get feedback on each of the main job documents commonly included in faculty job searches. Sessions will be dynamic and interactive and will include opportunities to workshop your own materials, discuss job search strategies and challenges with other postdocs, and learn how other scholars are communicating their qualifications. This is a great opportunity not only to get a great start on your job materials, but also to connect with other postdocs who are at a similar stage in their career.
