Interested in an academic career, but also starting a family? We will feature a panel of women faculty who have different family situations and are balancing those with being in an academic career. Discussion will cover issues such as:
- Stopping the tenure clock for a maternity leave
- Maternity leaves: breaks from teaching and your research
- Maintaining academic visibility as a mother
- Traveling for work while children are small
- Childcare situations
- Balancing time spent on household chores
- Spouse/Partner support, involvement in childcare, and maintaining the household
Grad students, postdocs, research scientists welcome to attend. There will be plenty of time for questions.
NOTE: Time given is tentative; location TBA.
