Academic Application & Early Career Success Series
Scientists often use slides to share knowledge with other researchers and scientific communities, most commonly as part of research seminars, conference talks, and teaching. However, faculty job interviews present a unique set of challenges and may require several different kinds of slide presentations to convey information to audiences seeking unique insights into your research expertise and professional goals and vision. We will discuss the types of presentations you may be asked to make in a faculty job interview, the purpose of each, critical information you need to share, as well as the unique formats and challenges of designing and using slides to optimally represent yourself as an ideal job candidate.
