Week 3: This session will discuss job letters in detail, including two possible detailed outlines, what information to include and how to tailor the job letter. We will also examine the diversity statement and how to write it, including starting points and how to determine and address the target institution’s specific diversity concerns.

The Academic Job Search Seminar Series for Graduate Students is a four-week seminar aimed at the year 3 or year 4 PhD student or postdoc who plans to begin the academic job search in the next 1-2 years, or any PhD student who is curious about the academic job search process. Grad students are encouraged to attend all four sessions as each week builds upon the last.
