<div>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 an excellent practice for their successful
job interviews.</div>
