The Institute for Future PUI Faculty at Lafayette College is for graduate & postdoctoral students interested in a career at a teaching-focused institution. This is an all expenses paid 2 week program happening from April 4 - 15th. It is an immersive training program for graduate students and postdoctoral scholars interested in pursuing a teaching-intensive faculty position. A select cohort of interested graduate and/or postdoctoral students will be invited to Lafayette to participate in a brief, but intensive two-week experience. Upon arriving at Lafayette, each participant will be paired with a Lafayette chemistry faculty mentor who will advise them throughout the program. Then, to expose them to life as a faculty member at a PUI, participants will engage in class observations, one-on-one meetings with their mentor and other chemistry faculty, and science education and career workshops. These workshops will cover topics such as syllabus development, course planning, student engagement, active learning, and preparing for the job market. Finally, the participants will gain real-life experience by carrying out a teaching assignment, while being observed and coached by their faculty mentor, and give a research seminar targeted towards our undergraduates on their doctoral or postdoctoral work. By the end of two weeks, the participants will have been exposed to contemporary science pedagogy, planned and instructed at least two lessons in their chemical subdiscipline, and reflected on the effectiveness of those lessons with an experienced faculty member and their cohort. Not only will the participants be immersed in life as a faculty member at a PUI, but they will also learn and hone their teaching skills to make them more competitive applicants for such positions. Program Dates: April 4th – 15th, 2022 Application Deadline: January 21, 2022 Eligibility:
