Virginia Tech is now accepting applications for our annual Future Faculty Development Program, an intensive two-day program for doctoral candidates and post-doctoral scholars traditionally underrepresented in their fields who are interested in entering academic careers in the next year.
In January of 2018, we plan to bring a cohort of approximately 15 to our main campus in Blacksburg, VA for this all-expense paid workshop that includes interaction with host departments, workshops such as negotiating job offers and adjusting to life as a new faculty member, and plenty of opportunities to network with faculty in research areas of interest to our participants.
Attached is further information about this program, and you can also visit our website at:

The deadline for applications to our January 2018 program is October 1, 2017. Thank you for sharing this information with any interested graduate students, and please feel free to contact me with any questions!
