The Job Market: An Inside Look
151 Eggers Hall
The Maxwell School is a graduate school of social science with a unique multidisciplinary character that cuts across traditional departmental lines. At Maxwell, theory and practice are regarded with equal seriousness: the barriers that divide academic disciplines from one another and from the larger world of public life are routinely breached by the wide-ranging scholarly and educational activities of an outstanding faculty and an exceptionally cosmopolitan student body
Are you an advanced graduate student who is or will soon be on the job market, or are you just starting out but already thinking about future careers? This workshop will offer an in-depth look at what it's like to navigate the job market from three individuals who have successfully done just that in the last two years: Tessa Murphy, an assistant professor in the history department, Mikkel Dack, a post-doctoral teaching fellow also in the history department, and Molly Jessup, Curator of Education at the Oneida Community Mansion House. They will provide students insight into the process of applying and interviewing for jobs in academic as well as non-academic fields. Graduate students at all stages of their respective programs are encouraged to attend and to bring questions of the panelists.
