DESCRIPTION:The benefit of being at a top-tier research institution is that
  there\nis an abundance of guidance towards building your career as a\nres
 earcher and then pursuing research-focused academic positions at\nplaces l
 ike Penn.  The downside is that there is comparatively less\nguidance on h
 ow to obtain more teaching-focused academic positions\nsuch as lecturers o
 r faculty at smaller\, liberal arts colleges.  How\ndoes the teaching acad
 emic job hunt differ from the research academic\njob hunt?  What are emplo
 yers looking for in these positions?  How do\nyou set yourself up to pursu
 e these sorts of jobs when you graduate?\n\nCIS lecturer Chris Murphy and 
 recent CIS PhD graduate Adam Aviv share\ntheir experiences pursuing teachi
 ng-focused positions in academia.\nThey will cover the breadth of academic
  positions available to people\nthat would like to emphasize education in 
 addition to or above\nresearch\, how the teaching-focused job hunt is diff
 erent from the\ntraditional research-focused job hunt\, and what they feel
  are the key\nqualifications for securing such a position.
