The event will provide junior faculty, postdocs, and senior grad students the opportunity to chat with current faculty, grant adjudicators, journal editors and other members of the Canadian analytical community in an informal setting. Topics will include: applying and interviewing for faculty positions; getting your lab and research program going; how not to screw up your first class; recruiting grad students; applying for grants and industrial collaborations; and mentor’s epic fails.
Format: Informal. 4-6 participants sit down with 2–3 mentors (journal editors, grant reviewers, teaching, successful profs) for informal discussions of an aspect of being an analytical chemistry faculty. After about 35 minutes, the group of participants will thank the mentors and move to the next set of 2–3 mentors who will share their expertise on a different topic. This will repeat and repeat. In the last iteration, recent hires will be asked to share their experiences to mentor the graduate student and postdoc participants.
