Seeking Student & Postdoc Participants and Faculty Member Reviewers

AEESP Student Services Committee

Graduate students and postdoctoral scholars: Are you planning on applying to an academic job, and would you like to receive some advice on your application documents? The AEESP Student Services Committee would like to help.  We are pleased to announce this year’s Academic Job Application Review Program to take place in Summer 2018. 

The Program will link student and postdoctoral researchers who are interested in applying for academic jobs with faculty members who will provide individualized advice to strengthen academic job applications. Approximately 100 students and postdoctoral scholars benefited from this Program over the past three years.  This year’s Program will be conducted entirely online through email, phone, or teleconference correspondence.  Student participants will interact with professors from different institutions to receive comments on their draft documents that comprise an application for a faculty position as well as to get perspectives on job expectations.

At this time, the Committee is opening registration to graduate students and postdoctoral researchers and soliciting faculty members to serve as volunteer Reviewers.  Program registration is limited to 40 participants with application packages. 

All interested students and postdocs should:

1. Email the Committee (aeespnaps@gmail.com) by July 15, 2018 in order to register for the Program.

2. Indicate in your email if you plan on applying to research institutions or primarily undergraduate/teaching institutions as we hope to customize the reviews this year by institution type. 

All interested faculty members wishing to volunteer as a reviewer should:

1. Email the Committee (aeespnaps@gmail.com) by July 15, 2018 in order to sign up.

2. Indicate in your email if your university is a research institution or a PUI.

 Instructions for participation will be provided following registration.  Application packages will be due July 31, and reviews will take place during August.
