Career Workshops for Teaching Track Faculty

计算机研究协会（CRA）建议为计算机科学（CS）教师举办一系列关于专业发展（PD）和部门政策的简短研讨会。全国范围内，计算机系的本科专业和本科课程的招生人数都在显著增加，导致对教师职位的依赖增加。对于许多培养博士学位的院系来说，这些具有学术排名和奖学金期望的职位是新的，院系仍在定义他们的角色和职业道路机会。与此同时，新博士、现任教师和考虑转行的个人也在寻找这类职位的信息。该系列研讨会包括为期1天的PD研讨会，面向在职教师，以及2个半天的学术景观研讨会，面向即将毕业的博士生、博士后和考虑学术职位的行业专业人士。PD研讨会将与SIGCSE 2020会议同时举行。由于各院系在如何指导、评估和提升师资方面经验有限，该研讨会将填补一个至关重要的需求。研讨会将重点介绍如何成功地推进自己的职业生涯，建立对期望和机会的理解，并提供将教师彼此联系起来的方法。学术景观研讨会是为那些考虑教师职位的人设计的，将与各种各样的参与者参加的会议一起举行。研讨会将向参加者介绍不同的学术教师职业，提高他们对博士学位授予部门学术职业选择的认识，并突出成功职业道路的典范。他们还将讨论如何做好准备，如何面试，以及如何谈判教师职位的报价等话题。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Computing Research Association (CRA) proposes a short series of workshops on professional development (PD) and departmental policies for Computer Science (CS) teaching faculty. CS departments nationwide are experiencing significant increases in undergraduate majors and undergraduate course enrollments, resulting in an increased reliance on teaching faculty positions. For many PhD producing departments, positions such as these with academic rank and an expectation of scholarship are new, and the departments are still defining their role and career path opportunities. At the same time, new PhDs, current teaching faculty, and individuals considering a career change seek information about such positions.The series of workshops will include a 1-day PD Workshop for current teaching faculty and 2 half-day Academic Landscape Workshops for graduating PhD students, post-docs and industry professionals considering an academic position. The PD Workshop will be held in conjunction with the SIGCSE 2020 Conference. The workshop will fill a crucial need as departments have limited experience on how to mentor, evaluate, and promote teaching faculty. The workshop will highlight ways to be successful in advancing one's career, build understanding of expectations and opportunities, and provide ways to connect teaching faculty with each other. The Academic Landscape Workshops are designed for those considering teaching faculty positions and will be held in conjunction with conferences attended by a diverse range of participants. The workshops will introduce participants to the different academic teaching faculty careers, increase awareness of the landscape of academic career options in PhD granting departments, and highlight exemplars of successful career paths. They will also discuss such topics as how to best prepare, how to interview, and how to negotiate offers for teaching faculty positions.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
