The Faculty Job Application Package: Research Statements, Cover Letters, and More

Research statements can be hard to write. They need to combine rigorous science with a healthy dose of self-promotion.

Françoise Chanut, senior scientific editor at Gladstone, reviews writing principles to help you pack a punch in your research statement and other components of the application package.

In this course you will learn:
—The dos and dont’s of research statements
—Writing principles that improve readability and impact
—The elements to include in your research statement versus your cover letter or CV

This course was offered as part of Gladstone's Trainee-to-Tenure Track Program:
Organized by the Office of Postdoctoral and Graduate Student Affairs, this program aims to provide guidance to early-career scientists in their path toward academic independence and faculty positions.
