Thinking about applying for faculty positions in the biological sciences or STEM fields? The interview process, and the negotiation that follows, can feel daunting, especially without clear guidance. This panel brings together faculty from across STEM disciplines, including recently hired professors and experienced academic leaders, to share their firsthand experiences and practical advice to help you navigate this critical stage with confidence.

In this moderated discussion, you will learn

• What to expect from multi-day campus interviews in STEM
• How to prepare for research talks and chalk talks
• What to know about job offers and negotiation strategies
• Insights from both recent hires and experienced search committee members

Whether you are planning to apply this year or still exploring your options, this is a valuable opportunity to hear from those who have navigated (and shaped) the faculty hiring process. Come with questions or just come ready to listen and learn. The session will begin with a set of curated questions and transition into open Q&A.
