For PhDs and postdocs · About three minutes

Draft your job market positioning statement before you draft another application.

Answer five questions about your situation and your research. You get two positioning statement drafts, an edit of your contribution sentence, three actions matched to your timeline, and the main weakness a hiring committee would notice first.

“How to stand out in a bunch of 100+ applications? This is something that I take away from this series.”

Now bring that statement somewhere it gets tested.

Save your spot for the free live webinar on Wednesday 9 September at 11 AM CEST. In ninety minutes you will see the five things committees actually look for when they scan an application, and where a draft like yours either lands or gets set aside. Bring the statement you just built and you will leave knowing the one thing to fix first. Your registration also includes access to the EMERGE Café, the community of 300+ academics from the social sciences and humanities, where the session and the replay live.
