If you are a postdoctoral fellow interested in a faculty position in the chemical sciences at a college or university, this workshop can help you prepare for a rewarding career.

The Postdoc to Faculty (P2F) Workshop:

• compares positions and respective expectations in undergraduate and graduate chemistry departments
• provides assistance with and feedback on faculty application materials
• presents strategies for balancing scholarship, teaching, and service expectations with life outside academia
