AGU Workshop: Succeeding on the Tenure Track
The tenure track can seem mysterious: a few crucial years where new professors build a research program, develop a teaching portfolio, and hope to be promoted. In this workshop, we aim to de-mystify the process, and share secrets to success. A panel of recently tenured faculty members in earth science disciplines share their “lessons learned” and answer questions. Geared towards assistant professors on the tenure-track now, as well as grad students and post-docs considering an academic career; all are invited. This workshop is a partnership between Earth Science Women’s Network and AGU Education.
