Academic Career Trajectories Workshop

View Calendar

Teri Balser, Professor at the University of Calgary, will lead a webinar on academic career trajectories that will address what/how you need to develop at each stage of your career, and what options are out there beyond the “usual” that you see. Two weeks after the webinar, she will lead an interactive workshop where you’ll have the opportunity to apply what you’ve learned. We’ll focus on identifying and developing the skills, strategies, and resources you need at each stage of your academic career. Whether you’re an aspiring scholar or a seasoned professor, you’ll leave with actionable plans to enhance your academic path.
