Dear Women Graduate Students and Post-docs,

Are you considering a career in academia? Are you going to be seeking a position in the next couple of years? Are you concerned about navigating the application and tenure process?

The Office of the Dean of Graduate Education is pleased to announce the opening of this year’s application to our Path of Professorship workshop. This workshop is designed to provide graduate and post-doctoral women with information about academic scientific careers and the application process. Each year we are able to gather a wonderful group of female professors from MIT and beyond to talk about their experiences in academia. This year is no different and we are expecting an exciting and informative weekend.

Path of Professorship will run from Friday, October 28th at 1pm through Saturday, October 29th at 5pm and cover topics ranging from “What Institution is Right for You?” to “The Tenure Process.” More information is available at http://odge.mit.edu/development/pop/

The application for Path of Professorship is now open and available here.

The application will close on October 5th and selected applicants will be notified shortly thereafter.

We strongly encourage all women with an interest in academia to apply.

Yours truly,

Path-of-Professorship Team 2011
This workshop is sponsored by the MIT Office of the Dean for Graduate Education
