Faculty Volunteer Role & Expectations

P2F Faculty Volunteers act as advisers to postdoctoral scholars interested in careers in academia. They are expected to serve as panelists and/or moderators, review 5-6 mock faculty applications from postdoc participants (prior to the workshop), lead mock interviews, and may be asked if they’d feel comfortable presenting on a specific topic (e.g., teaching strategies, mentoring tips, or DEI statements etc.). There will also be a session for postdocs to have an opportunity to discuss the feedback given on their mock application packets with the facilitator that provided said feedback.
 
*ACS will cover travel, 2-night hotel accommodations, and all meals for all selected workshop faculty volunteers. This is a great opportunity to network with the future generation of chemical science faculty.

Additional Information

Please select your gender: *
 
Please select the race and ethnicity that you most identify with (select all that apply): *
 
Please indicate your veteran status. *
 

These classifications are defined as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following:
a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or
a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.
A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.                    An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Workshop Participation

Postdocs value the insight provided by experienced faculty. Are you willing to participate in one or more panel discussions? Note: One panel will take place virtually prior to the workshop. *
Postdocs recognize that a strong application packet is essential to the faculty search process. Would you be willing to review 3-5 mock faculty applications (CV, Cover Letter, Research Statement, Teaching Philosophy, Diversity Statement) of postdoc participants? You would receive the mock applications mid-June, and the reviews would be due back at least 1 week prior to the workshop. *
Postdoc participants appreciate the opportunity to discuss or ask other questions based on your feedback on their mock applications. Would you be willing to have individual meetings (~30 minutes) with the postdoc participants whose mock applications you reviewed during the workshop? *
Postdoc participants welcome opportunities to practice answering common interview questions. Would you be willing to conduct mock interviews (~30 minutes) with the postdoc participants whose mock faculty applications you reviewed? You will receive a list of common faculty interview questions and can choose which you'd like to ask during the sessions. *
Postdocs are interested in strategies used to foster engaging learning experiences in their future classrooms. Are you comfortable presenting (or co-presenting) a session (30-45 min) on best practices in teaching (e.g., active learning strategies, inclusive teaching methodology, etc.)? *
