Preparing Future Faculty
The UF Graduate School, UF Office of Postdoctoral Affairs, and the UF Center for Teaching Excellence offer the Preparing Future Faculty (PFF) Program, which meets in person during some semesters, and online during other semesters.
This program covers important aspects of being a successful faculty member, faculty expectations at different kinds of institutions, and effective teaching and learning methods. It will involve weekly meetings, assignments, and a mentoring component. It will not address developing job application materials or interviewing for faculty jobs.
This program is open to graduate students and postdocs from any UF department. Participants are chosen on a competitive basis.
