DEFINE consists of a two-day experience for the most promising graduate and postdoctoral students who are strongly interested in pursuing a faculty position at Duke University’s Pratt School of Engineering. For DEFINE’s inaugural year, ten to fifteen participants who have research interests that align with Pratt’s departments and units and are within one year of applying for faculty positions will be selected. During the program, participants will experience a variety of workshops, formal presentations, and mentoring sessions centered around demystifying the job process and building strong relationships with future colleagues and collaborators. Participants will develop a comprehensive career plan that includes feedback on their application materials and strategies for setting themselves apart from their peers during the job search process.

The program is open to doctoral students in the final years of their dissertation or all but dissertation (ABD) and postdoctoral students will be prioritized. Other participants will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Applications are open until August 31 and those who are accepted will be notified in September.
