Most grad students and postdocs are used to having their work and accomplishments “speak” for them, and have never had an interview of any consequence. But to reach that goal of securing your first assistant professorship or research job in industry, you need to be prepared to close the deal on your own behalf and articulate why you are a great fit for their department or organization. Get answers to: what are the most common interview questions, how do I build effective answers that are more than empty clichés, what is an effective strategy for interview preparation, and more. Leveling the Playing Field 2:30 pm–4:00 pm, Esplanade, Room 157 Leveling the Playing Field is a new series of yearly workshops designed to increase your skills in addressing the barriers faced by women in science. Are you all in favor of increasing professional opportunities of women but don’t know how to contribute? These “hands-on” sessions can help you to become more effective in improving the climate for women in biophys- ics at all stages of their careers. The 2018 workshop aims to increase your effectiveness in raising aware- ness of your research program and contributions, and the scientific con- tributions of women in biophysics in general, using your web presence, social media and other means.
