In this video series, we describe how to strategically position yourself as a competitive candidate for faculty positions.
The information in this series is based on the Academic Career Readiness Assessment (ACRA) framework that we developed by interviewing dozens of faculty across different institutions. The ACRA indicates what faculty hiring committees are looking for in applications and we use it here to illustrate how you can present your strengths and address your weaknesses in your application materials.
