While academic jobs have long been in decline, the scarcity that graduate students, postdocs, and contingent faculty face worsened during the pandemic. As emerging PhDs face an uncertain job market, what role can faculty developers play in offering professional mentorship?

In this interactive session, faculty developers will clarify their values as mentors, understanding how their professional and academic identities make them an important part of emerging PhDs' mentorship networks.
