The Trials and Tribulations of Early Career Researchers Transitioning into Full-Time Teaching Tracks

Abstract

Whilst the gender balance in computing students seems promising, the gender, racial, and ethnic disparity within academic faculty is far from ideal as a result of inadvertent hiring practices, and lack of support and training during the first year of recruitment. In this session, we are hoping to collate diverse experiences of the struggles associated with applying for and maintaining first full-time positions and provide recommendations for best practices for hiring academic faculty.
