AERI Institute 2009

You can download the names list for the doctoral mentoring sessions scheduled for Monday and the junior faculty session on Friday here.  We have assigned 5 mentors for approximately 9-10 students, so there should be plenty of opportunity for close consultation.  Mentors needn’t “prepare” anything ahead of time — we would like the sessions to be constructed according to the questions and areas of interest expressed by the mentees.  Topics to consider should be: conducting doctoral research, dissertation writing, interacting with advisers, career development, going on the job market, and publishing; and for the junior faculty: securing tenure, building a teaching/research portfolio, grant writing, and publishing.
