In this online panel, we’ll hear from CIRTL alumni who hold STEM PhDs and work in centers for teaching and learning at research universities. Centers for teaching and learning are an increasingly common office in universities – providing evidence-based support and guidance to faculty and others with instructional responsibilities – and are one of many ways people with PhDs work within higher ed, but beyond the professoriate. Alumni will share what their jobs are like, how they became interested in this unique type of work, how their doctoral training prepared them for their roles, and what growth and progression can look like in these types of career paths.

This is the third event in our four-part series “Exploring Career Paths with CIRTL Alumni.”

About CIRTL Programming

CIRTL Network programming is designed to develop future faculty committed to implementing and advancing evidence-based teaching practices to create undergraduate educational experiences that are accessible to all learners. Participants can explore our programming in any order, and to whatever extent supports your own teaching development needs and interests. To help participants understand what they can expect across all our programming, all CIRTL programming aligns with four broad learning goals; within those goals, programming might provide participants improving evidence-based teaching.

This course supports the following CIRTL learning goals:

• Goal 4: Prepare for an impactful career. See more Goal 4 programming.
