Exploring Teaching Careers at Research Universities with CIRTL Alumni
In this online panel, we’ll hear from CIRTL alumni who now work as teaching professors at research universities around the United States. Faculty members who primarily teach, rather than do research, have become increasingly important for delivering courses at research universities. Alumni will share what their jobs are like, how they became interested in teaching, how they ended up at research institutions and how they fit within their departments, and what growth and progression can look like in these types of career paths. Speakers TBD.
This is the first 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.
