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
