You might consider forwarding this to your students who are interested in academic jobs or going on the market:

Eyal de Lara (chair of U of T faculty search committee, who’s been involved in 30+ faculty hires in the last few years, and so can provide a unique perspective) generously agreed to do a Q & A with grad students to give advice on the process of academic job search.

This Q & A is happening this Tue, 26 Nov, 12:15-1:30 in BA 5256.

The agenda will include, for example, discussing how to prepare good research statements, how the application might be reviewed.
