The unwritten manual of becoming a professor of HCI

This course is about preparing researchers for a permanent career in academia. Based on personal practice the course organizers will describe the settings, roles, procedures, and motivations of search and appointment committees. Furthermore, the course will cover strategies for preparing a successful lecture talk, scientific talk, and plans and vision talk. Finally, this course will discuss the do’s and don’t for the interview on leadership and social competencies. A dedicated module on training pitches will enable participants to practice concepts on-site and provide peer review among each other. The organizers will provide a safe space for sharing following the Chatham house rules.
