Location:

'Applicants must submit a narrative describing their long-term vision for future research with an emphasis on bold projects that have potential for impacts within their areas of interests. The research statement should also summarize the candidate’s prior work as evidence for their potential vision.' Statements like this are commonly found in position announcements with a research emphasis whether in academic institutions, state or federal agencies, or industry. How will you prepare your 'research statement', how will it be structured, and what examples will you use to demonstrate your experiences and potential? Writing an effective research statement is an important first step to move you from being an 'applicant' to an 'interviewee'. During this session, participants will discuss strategies for preparing an effective research statement that leverages your experiences and demonstrates your potential.
Facilitator: Dr. Rique Campa (Senior Associate Dean, Graduate School and University Distinguished Professor of Wildlife Ecology, Department of Fisheries and Wildlife)
*This is part 3 of our 3-part workshop series

The Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) at Michigan State University (MSU) was started with funding from the National Science Foundation. MSU AGEP supports recruitment, retention, and graduation of underrepresented U. S. minorities in doctoral programs of the natural and social sciences, mathematics, and engineering. The MSU AGEP Learning Community is an informal environment where students from varying disciplines can gather, share their research in a 10-minute presentation, or discover that their graduate toils are not unusual. Those in attendance are privy to information regarding fellowships, career opportunities, even summer internships, pertaining to the group.
