Cottrell Emerging Scholars Host Survey |
Host Institutions
Cottrell Emerging Scholars Program leverages the Cottrell national network of scholars and their institutions, through which postdocs from underrepresented backgrounds in the physical sciences visit another institution for a mock faculty job interview.
Visits are structured to fully simulate the real experience of a faculty job interview and culminate with structured feedback. The visits—which can take place at research intensive universities (R1s) and primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs), depending on the scholar’s career interests—serve a crucial professional development role, providing an insider perspective on the faculty hiring process. They also serve a much needed recruitment and placement role, intentionally connecting underrepresented scholars with potentially well-matched institutions seeking to enhance inclusive excellence in their faculty.
Host Institutions will invite postdoc for a seminar and visit with faculty similar to an academic job interview.

We understand that currently travel at most institutions is not allowed. A virtual visit to the department to give the seminar and meet with faculty is fine.
