We invite applicants for a 2-day career development workshop for early career urban studies scholars to be held on Thursday, November 12^th and Friday November 13^th, 2015, at 91ÑÇÉ«. The workshop is an opportunity to consider the career development issues of most relevance to those contemplating a job search in urban studies and related academic fields.

The CITY Career Development Workshop is open to early career students and researchers (PhD students and candidates, recent PhDs, postdocs) working on critical urban topics in geography, sociology, political science, history, law, environmental studies, planning, anthropology, economics, and inter-disciplinary fields. Topics covered will include academic publishing, grant writing, preparing for interviews, research dissemination, job interview presentations, and the job search within academia and beyond. The workshop will be run as panels and sessions with contributions from established urban studies scholars, and will provide opportunities to consider the strategies, challenges, and skills needed to advance in the field.

Applications for this event are now closed. 

The workshop is organized by Roza Tchoukaleyska (Postdoctoral Fellow at CITY), Alison Bain (CITY Acting Director), and Sara Macdonald (CITY Coordinator).
