Dear Graduate Student,

On Thursday, May 26 at 4pm in Padelford C-36 you are invited to attend:

Session #2: How to Apply for a Job (and When to Start Thinking About It)

So there you have it---after a year or two of hard work---a shiny new theorem, freshly written up in your dissertation, final exam passed, all committee member signatures obtained.? What to do next?? It is important to think about that question now!

The Professional Development Session will consist of a panel of graduating students, postdocs, and professors who can share their experiences with the job application process and advice on how and when to start.? There will be ample opportunity for Q&A.

ALL graduate students in the math department are welcome to attend, whether you are just finishing your first year or whether you are planning on graduating in the next two years.

Cheers!

Matthew Badger




Dear Graduate Student,

On Thursday, October 21 at 4pm in Padelford C-36 you are invited to attend:

Session #1: Travel: Conferences, Summer Schools and Visiting Quarters

Academic travel is an important piece in the life of a mathematician. It is how we stay current on research trends, share our own ideas and results with others, find new collaborators to work with, and maintain relationships with fellow mathematicians world wide. For graduate students, this is a vital opportunity to meet other graduate students in your specialty, who will become your future peers, as well as researchers at other institutions, who will be able to write you recommendation letters when you apply for jobs.

The Professional Development Session will consist of a panel of (2nd -- 6th year) graduate students and professors. We will share our experiences traveling outside UW, and explain how to get funding to go to conferences, summer schools and visiting quarters at other institutions. There will be ample opportunity for Q&A.

PIZZA will be provided for everyone in attendance.

As a final note, ALL graduate students in the math department are welcome to attend, whether you are currently barraged with weekly homework (1st year) or have forgotten what a homework assignment looks like (4th year +).

Cheers!

Matthew Badger
