Faculty Volunteer Role & Expectations

P2F Faculty Volunteers act as advisers to postdoctoral scholars interested in careers in academia. They are expected to serve as panelists and/or moderators, review 5-6 mock faculty applications from postdoc participants (prior to the workshop), lead mock interviews, and may be asked if they’d feel comfortable presenting on a specific topic (e.g., teaching strategies, mentoring tips, or fostering inclusion and belonging in the research group, etc.). There will also be a session for postdocs to have an opportunity to discuss the feedback given on their mock application packets with the facilitator that provided said feedback.

*ACS will cover travel, 2-night hotel accommodations, and all meals for all selected workshop faculty volunteers. This is a great opportunity to network with the future generation of chemical science faculty.

Workshop Participation

At this time, are you available to participate in-person as a faculty volunteer from Friday, July 18 (late afternoon) to Sunday, July 20 (2 pm), 2025? *

Postdocs value the insight provided by experienced faculty. Are you willing to participate in one or more panel discussions? Note: One panel will take place virtually prior to the workshop. *

Yes

No

Maybe/Not Sure

Postdocs recognize that a strong application packet is essential to the faculty search process. Would you be willing to review 3-5 mock faculty applications (CV, Cover Letter, Research Statement, Teaching Philosophy, Additional Statements) of postdoc participants? You would receive the mock applications mid-June, and the reviews would be due back at least 1 week prior to the workshop. *

Yes

No

Maybe/Not Sure

Postdoc participants appreciate the opportunity to discuss or ask other questions based on your feedback on their mock applications. Would you be willing to have individual meetings (~30 minutes) with the postdoc participants whose mock applications you reviewed during the workshop? *

Yes

No

Maybe/Not Sure

Postdoc participants welcome opportunities to practice answering common interview questions. Would you be willing to conduct mock interviews (~30 minutes) with the postdoc participants whose mock faculty applications you reviewed? You will receive a list of common faculty interview questions and can choose which you'd like to ask during the sessions. *

Yes

No

Maybe/Not Sure

Postdocs are interested in strategies used to foster engaging learning experiences in their future classrooms. Are you comfortable presenting (or co-presenting) a session (30-45 min) on best practices in teaching (e.g., active learning strategies, inclusive teaching methodology, etc.)? *

Yes
