 As a leading academic institution, the Clark School has a responsibility to help produce the great engineering teachers future generations of students will rely on. While many Clark School alumni have already secured academic positions around the world on their own initiative, we have created the Future Faculty Program to:
- Increase the number of highly qualified teachers the Clark School produces for the world’s engineering schools
- Prepare selected Clark School doctoral students to achieve career-long success in the academic world as teachers and researchers
- Provide selected students with a $3,000 travel stipend to attend professional conferences
- Place selected students in leading institutions where their impact can be greatest and where they can continue to partner with the Clark School

How to Apply
|
|
|

“I successfully landed a tenure track academic position at the University of Illinois right after my Ph.D. graduation. This was partly due to what I learned through the experience in the Future Faculty Program (FFP). The program talked about every aspect in landing an academic position, including how to work towards that goal during graduate life, how to prepare application materials, and how to handle interviews. I also gained the experience of teaching and mentoring through the practicum, which gave me an advantage in the job application process and a head start in my career. The FFP goes far beyond that; it also educates extensively about the whole academic career, including research, teaching, grantsmanship, service, and networking. Being a young assistant professor now, I am still benefitting from what I have learned at FFP.”
