<ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 1%; padding-left: 7%;"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 1%;">Learn about academic careers in different educational settings (e.g., two-year colleges, primarily undergraduate institutions, universities)
</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 1%;">Develop a plan for the next career stage and set goals to move toward that plan
</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 1%;">Learn about the job search process and develop or revise application materials

The Preparing for an Academic Career workshop is designed specifically for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and others who are interested in pursuing academic careers in the geosciences. For the third year in a row, the workshop will be offered at the Earth Educators' Rendezvous. After each morning session, workshop participants can engage in lunchtime discussions with senior colleagues and then choose from afternoon workshops, panels, and plenary sessions that are part of the Earth Educators' Rendezvous. Participants can also register for Thursday-Friday programming.
