2021 PIMS-UBC Math Job Forum for Postdoctoral Fellows & Graduate Students

The PIMS-UBC Math Job Forum is an annual Forum to help graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in Mathematics and related areas with their job searches. The session is divided in two parts: short presentations from our panel followed by a discussion.

Learn the secrets of writing an effective research statement, developing an outstanding CV, and giving a winning job talk. We will address questions like: Who do I ask for recommendation letters? What kind of jobs should I apply to? What can I do to maximize my chances of success?

Panelists:

Dan Coombs, Head of Mathematics, UBC

Pamela Harris, Associate Professor, Williams College, and Faculty Fellow of the Office of Institutional Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Eugene Li, Chair of Mathematics and Statistics, Langara
