This interactive panel discussion seeks to answer attendee questions about academic career paths including whats, whys, whens, and hows of preparing for an academic career, pursuing a faculty position, and thriving as an early career faculty member. A panel of early career nuclear engineering faculty will briefly discuss their motivations, experiences, and challenges in the pursuit of their academic career paths. Additionally, these faculty will discuss lessons learned and provide recommendations to students considering becoming faculty. We hope all students curious about academic career paths will join this session armed with as many questions as possible. Ask us anything.
