rebeccmeisterToday I am applying to two jobs that I don't expect to get.
Why apply anyway?
One includes two writing prompts. In 200 words or less: (1) "Describe your past research accomplishments, their significance, and why you are excited about them." and (2) "Describe your near future research goals (ca. the next five years) and your fit to our Department."
Meta-thinking. I find this to be one of the more challenging aspects of doing science, but it's an extremely useful exercise regardless. I should have a sense of where I am and where I'm going, eh?
