In this online panel, we’ll hear from CIRTL alumni who have pursued faculty careers centered on teaching at research universities in the United States and Canada. Our panelists teach in chemistry, physical therapy, anatomy, and genetics, offering perspectives from different disciplines and institutional settings. They will discuss what their positions are like, how they became interested in teaching, how they found their current roles, how they fit within their departments, and what professional growth can look like in teaching-focused faculty careers.

Speakers

• Yiran “Ella” Wang, Instructional Assistant Professor in Chemistry, Chapman University
• Jeff Konrad, Assistant Professor of Physical Therapy, Washington University in St. Louis
• Graham Read, Assistant Professor of Anatomy and Cell Biology/Genetics, Western University

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 their teaching development needs and interests. To help participants understand what they can expect across our programming, all CIRTL programming aligns with four broad learning goals. Within those goals, individual programs provide different opportunities for participants to develop and apply evidence-based teaching practices.

This event supports the following CIRTL learning goal:

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