Required for most faculty searches in the sciences, chalk talks remain mysterious because they're rarely open to graduate students or postdocs. In an informal Q&A, Prof. Stubbs, will seek to demystify this crucial component of the search process, based on his long-standing experience as a senior faculty member in Physics. In a top 10 review of Do’s and Don’ts, Prof. Stubbs will answer all your questions, including: What’s the point of the chalk talk? What are departments looking for? How should I prepare? How should I involve my PI? How to balance vision and deliverables? How to structure my talk? How should I use the board? How do I handle difficult, occasionally antagonistic, questions during the talk? Etc.
