Subject: Virginia Tech’s Future Faculty Development Program — Call for Applications

Dear Graduate School Deans and Administrators,

Virginia Tech is now accepting applications for our annual Future Faculty Development Program, an intensive three-day program for advanced doctoral candidates and postdoctoral scholars traditionally underrepresented in their fields who are interested in entering academic careers in the next year. This program is a pipeline to help recruit historically underrepresented minority faculty to Virginia Tech, including African-Americans, Hispanics/Latinx, American Indian/Alaska Natives, and Pacific Islanders.

November 10-13, we plan to bring a cohort of approximately 40 to our main campus in Blacksburg, VA for this all-expense paid workshop. The program includes interaction with host departments, workshops such as negotiating job offers and adjusting to life as a new faculty member, and plenty of opportunities to network with faculty in research areas of interest to our participants. Attached is further information about this program, and you can also visit our website @ https://www.inclusive.vt.edu/Programs/future_faculty.html.

The deadline for applications to our November 2019 program is September 15, 2019. Thank you for sharing this information with any interested underrepresented PhD candidates and postdocs affiliated with your institution. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Best,

Patrice

About This Site

The Duke Graduate School receives emails from various Duke units and external organizations and institutions about funding, career, training, and other opportunities that may be of interest to graduate students. This site is a running collection of those opportunities.

If you have an opportunity you wish to share with Duke graduate students, you can submit it to grad-web@duke.edu for consideration. As general policy, we do not accept submissions from for-profit operations, except for funding or career opportunities (e.g., internships).

The Graduate School posts the information as it was submitted and is not responsible for any inaccuracies. Questions about a specific post should be directed to the organization offering the opportunity, not to The Graduate School.
