Becoming a new faculty member at a university or college is challenging due to the number of roles a faculty member plays and the lack of preparation for these roles. Moreover, doctoral training most likely has not prepared the new faculty member for much beyond how to conduct research themselves and, perhaps, how to teach topics that are close to their research area. The post-pandemic world has its own new challenge—online and hybrid learning and conferences, remote mentoring and networking, increased focus on diversity and inclusion. The great news is that most faculty members transcend all these challenges and feel they have a most rewarding, intellectually stimulating, and flexible career, and they don’t want to retire! The goals of the ASE 2023 New Faculty Symposium (NFS) are to help new Software Engineering faculty members launch a successful career and manage the challenges while feeling joy in their life as a faculty member.
The symposium is open to anybody with a doctorate, self-identifying as having a new academic position (e.g. postdocs, junior faculty position, etc).
