Ever wonder what happens after you click “submit” on your application? This panel pulls back the curtain on the faculty hiring process, offering advice directly from the people who review the materials, lead the interviews, and make the decisions.

Join a panel of STEM faculty who have served on search committees as they share candid insights into what committees are really looking for and what makes an applicant stand out in a crowded pool.

Panelists will share their perspectives on which documents they read first, how they evaluate written materials (especially when reading quickly), common mistakes that can hurt a candidate’s chances, and ways to demonstrate cultural fit. This is a rare opportunity to hear honest, experience-based advice from faculty who have sat on the other side of the table.

Panelists include:

Feliks Kogan, PhD, ’12 Bioengineering, Assistant Professor of Radiology (Musculoskeletal Imaging), Stanford University

Truong Nghiem, PhD, ’12 Electrical Engineering, Associate Professor of Electrical & Computer Engineering (joint appointments in the Department of Computer Science and the School of Modeling, Simulation and Training), University of Central Florida

Kerstin Nordstrom, PhD, ’10 Physics, Professor of Physics, Mount Holyoke College

Guy Weissinger, PhD, ‘19 Nursing Science, MBE ’20 Bioethics, Assistant Professor of Nursing, Villanova University

There will be dedicated time for Q&A at the end.
