Overview. The colloquium plays a central role in ensuring that the developments of nuclear physics are shared with the larger research community and the general public. It is the primary means that we have to communicate our science with our non-nuclear colleagues. Effective colloquia can convey the excitement of new results, increase the odds of recruiting top-caliber students to the field ...



The program will assist chosen applicants in preparation for faculty interviews. We will assist the candidates in crafting a good colloquium or seminar talk, and collect constructive criticism from the audience. The selected applicant will travel to a host institution to present the talk, participate in a mock interview, and an opportunity to teach a class session. Feedback will be provided for all the components of the mock interview at the end of the visit. All applicants (accepted or not) will receive feedback on application materials (cover letter, CV and, statements). Several past participants who have accepted faculty positions have reported that the JSA Promising Young Scientist program has provided excellent practice for their successful job interviews.
