The Graduate Committee will host a discussion about the academic job market, with a focus on the job application process. Since we are doing a faculty search in our Department this year, this is an ideal opportunity to talk about academic job applications. And since we don't often get to do a search too in our Department, this may well be the only time during your career as graduate student that you will get the opportunity to experience and learn from a search first hand.

Our discussion will be led by Jon Brennan. Jon is the ideal person to lead this discussion. Not only is he a member of the Search Committee for our current job search, but he was only very recently still on the job market himself.
