Exploring Academic Careers Beyond the Professoriate with CIRTL Alumni in Centers for Teaching & Learning(External Event)

This event is held by the Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning (CIRTL)

In this online panel, you will hear from 3 CIRTL alumni who hold STEM PhDs and work in centers for teaching and learning at research universities. Centers for teaching and learning are an increasingly common office in universities – providing evidence-based support and guidance to faculty and others with instructional responsibilities – and are one of many ways people with PhDs work within higher ed, but beyond the professoriate. Alumni will share what their jobs are like, how they became interested in this unique type of work, how their doctoral training prepared them for their roles, and what growth and progression can look like in these types of career paths. These alumni work in centers for teaching and learning at the University of California, Los Angeles, the University of Michigan, and Rice University, and have disciplinary backgrounds in ecology and evolutionary biology, chemistry, and bioengineering.

This event counts toward the Postdoctoral Professional Development Certificate (*CP)
