Planning to begin an academic job hunt or already started preparing applications?  In addition to putting together all of the things that go into your application (CV, chalk talk, research statements, job talk, and more), you also need to thoughtfully consider your start-up package. Why?  Because you need sufficient resources to start and maintain a lab. But what goes into an overall package?  What can you negotiate for?  Did you even know you can negotiate?! 

Join us in-person on Tuesday, December 12, 2023 from 4:00 - 5:00 PM in 251 Price Center to hear Dr. Simone Sidoli discuss everything you need to know and consider for a successful start-up package.
