Chalk Talk Presenter: Hanh Lam, UCSC Postdoc in METX
Description: We will briefly cover what is expected of academic tenure track job applicants in the interview chalk talk, and how this format is unique from the “job talk” seminar. Then, we will watch one UCSC postdoc who is currently on the job market deliver a practice chalk talk.
This is the first event in a series of chalk talk workshops featuring UCSC postdocs from different disciplines, and future events will have mock faculty search panels. For this last-minute event, we need the community’s feedback to help simulate a realistic chalk talk experience for Hanh, complete with interrupting and clarifying questions.
This event is part of a monthly virtual event series organized by the USPA. Each month, we host a workshop or seminar that either offers career development support or highlights some of the amazing research conducted by postdocs on campus. If you are interested in suggesting a workshop or presenting your research, please let us know at uspa@ucsc.edu.
