RSA Institute Career Workshop for Associate Profs


Submitted by Jim Aune on November 30, 2008 - 9:21am


The deadline is fast approaching, but this looks like a good deal:

a special workshop opportunity at next summer's RSA Institute: a Career Retreat for Associate Professors. The Career Retreat for Associate Professors is an initiative of the Gender Task Force of the RSA to reach out to associate professors seeking to complete a scholarly project and achieve promotion to full professor.

At the Career Retreat, each participant will have the opportunity to work
with a senior member of the RSA who will has agreed to serve as a career
coach to:
* Analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the current curriculum vita,
* Develop an action plan to achieve promotion to full professor, and
* Join a writing workgroup to sustain work once the Retreat is completed.
Following the Retreat, the writing workgroups will be asked to keep in
touch on a monthly basis and check in with the career coaches every few
months.

If you know of a colleague for whom the Career Retreat would provide a
welcome opportunity, please pass this email on. Or if you yourself have
questions, please feel free to contact us. The deadline for registration is December 1 although there may be some leeway on this.
