“Research Expectations and Funding Opportunities for Tenure-Track Faculty,” a workshop for junior faculty from Union, Skidmore, Colgate and Hamilton colleges, will be held Saturday, Feb. 4, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., in Everest Lounge. It is sponsored by the Mellon-Four College Consortium.
The first session, “Expectations and Mentoring,” will feature a panel of senior faculty members who have served on the Faculty Review Board or its equivalent.
The second session, “Research Funding Opportunities,” will feature Jane Aiken, National Endowment for the Humanities senior program officer, Division of Research Programs, and Muriel Poston, dean of faculty at Skidmore. In 2002 Poston became a program director with the National Science Foundation; 18 months later, she was named deputy division director for its Division of Biological Infrastructure.
