SUMMARY:Conversion and LSTA Application Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join our Conversion and Careers Advisor\, Professor Kym Bird\, for the last in a series of workshops on preparing your application for conversion and other tenure-stream hiring searches at York. This first workshop will focus primarily on helping Unit 2 members in the Conversion (or “Affirmative Action”) Pool to prepare their applications for conversion appointments. \nZoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82623493806?pwd=AOX6aPftAerzemkFtATjjRiMwzqdle.1 \nThe workshop will focus on advising members on : \n\nHow the conversion process works\nHow to prepare strong files in teaching\, research\, and service\nHow to yourself as attractive as possible as a candidate for potential upcoming positions at York \n\n  \nThe best application files are constructed over time! An application for a conversion appointment\, for example\, must include a current curriculum vitae; letters of reference (including external letters); and an assessment by the hiring unit of the candidate’s teaching\, research\, and scholarly or creative work\, their service potential\, how their appointment fulfills departmental needs\, and (where appropriate and in light of the candidate’s unique career path) an assessment of the candidate’s potential for participation in graduate teaching and supervision.   \n  \nMembers applying for conversion are generally required to submit their applications in February for appointments beginning July 1. (More details of the process will be communicated later by Faculty Relations and the Union.) \n  \nConversion and Career Advice Workshops are open to all CUPE 3903 members interested in compiling a strong application package for conversion and LSTA appointments or who might\, in future\, be a position to apply for employment under either program.  \n  \nProfessor Kym Byrd is a YUFA member in the Division of Humanities and a former CUPE 3903 Unit 2 member. Her primary role as Career Advisor is to assist contract faculty members in career planning and Professional Development to prepare them to apply for conversion and tenure-stream applications at York. In addition to these workshops\, Dr. Bird is also available for one-on-one consultations about building your application file. Contact Dr. Byrd at kbird@yorku.ca.
