**Landing the Role: Teaching strategies for faculty applications and interviews**

This hybrid mini course is designed to support postdoctoral scholars as they prepare for faculty position interviews and teaching responsibilities. Through a combination of in-person and Zoom sessions, participants will explore key topics including:

- **Understanding the Academic Job Market**
- **Developing a Values-Based Teaching Philosophy**
- **Pedagogical Strategies for Student Engagement**
- **Designing an Effective Teaching Demonstration**

The course emphasizes practical application. By the end of the program, attendees will leave with a polished teaching philosophy statement and confidence in presenting an engaging teaching demo.

**Session 4: Delivering and Refining Your Teaching Demo (In Person)**

**Description:**  
In this interactive session, participants will practice delivering their teaching demonstrations in a supportive environment. The focus will be on simulating real interview conditions, including engaging with “students” (the cohort). Participants will troubleshoot common challenges such as time management, handling difficult questions, and overcoming performance anxiety. Each participant will present a 15–20 minute demo and receive structured feedback from peers and facilitators using a rubric aligned with faculty search expectations. This session provides an invaluable opportunity to refine presentation skills and strengthen confidence before the real interview.
