I have started to compile these and more resources for the Engineering Academic Career Club (EACC), which was formed in Nov 2018. These have already been distributed to the students in the club. More information about the programs above are listed on the EACC Opportunities GoogleDoc under the “Future Faculty Programs” tab. If you might have other resources to share with me/the club about preparing our students for academic careers then please reach out, and please feel free to forward this along to your graduate students and postdocs.
