In this 90 minute interactive workshop I share advice on managing the challenges of the tenure track. We cover time management, publishing, relations with colleagues, learning to say no, seeking research leave, managing the demands of teaching, anticipating the tenure review process, finances, prioritizing mental and physical health, and more. This workshop complements “Surviving Your First Year on the Tenure Track” and you can attend both; Surviving focuses on just the first year, while this one focuses on building your tenure case and managing career challenges over time.

Workshop Details

The tenure track years can be wonderful and terrible, sometimes at the same time! Assistant professors experience unprecedented opportunities and unprecedented stress, and there is never, ever enough time. And the tenure process is shrouded in mystery. Dr. Karen Kelsky brings her 5 years as department head,  her own tenure experience, and the insights from 11 years as The Professor Is In academic coach, to explain this convoluted and mysterious process. Includes plenty of time for live Q and A. Bring your questions!

This workshop has our standard refund policy.
