BPS Mid-Career Workshop: Managing Your Evolving Career The BPS Division will again sponsor a workshop designed specifically for “mid-career” BPS faculty. The objective of this workshop is to facilitate networking and stimulate lively and useful discussion centered on the unique challenges, problems and opportunities often experienced by BPS faculty as they move into and through their "associate professor years." This highly interactive and informative workshop will be organized around a series of point-counterpoint debates and discussions lead by BPS “senior” faculty about a variety of important mid-career topics, such as: Keeping your research energized, mentoring doctoral students, taking on administrative and service roles, mid-career moves and the job market, taking on editorial roles, making the most of your sabbatical, non-traditional career paths, and so on. Discussions will continue over dinner at a nearby restaurant, with the BPS Division generously picking up the tab. The workshop is scheduled for Saturday, August 8, 2009 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Hyatt hotel. Due to the specific stage-of-career topics and the unique format of this workshop, participation is limited.
