2. Who Are You? What size is your school? What size is your department? Are you the only woman in your department? What is your academic preparation? What is most important at your school – teaching, scholarship or service? Is your school public or private? What is your teaching load?

4. Training and Education Your institution benefits from investing in you Think of yourself as a $1,000,000 - $2,000,000 investment You’ll need ongoing training and education in your research area emerging areas and technology teaching methods

5. Where to Look Attend conferences Read Journals, magazines, books Start or join a reading group Mailing lists Online tutorials (ACM, IEEE, free) Local seminars, colloquia and professional groups

6. Where to Look Attend workshops and tutorials at conferences (SIGCSE, OOPSLA, SIGGRAPH) Apply for NSF Summer Workshops Take a graduate course Hardware and software vendors offer courses Teach a course about something new

7. Consulting Summer faculty fellowships: NASA, Air Force, National Labs, Microsoft, and others NSF panel reviews Allows you to keep with the main trends Will know what the most important issues are Good contacts and networking Provides you with tips on how to write a successful proposal AP Exam grading Worth doing especially if you are teaching introductory CS courses Instead of Summer Teaching

8. The Missing Doctorate It’s to your institution’s advantage to employ faculty with the terminal degree It’s to your advantage to have a doctorate Are you place bound? Look at online programs Look at programs within 100 miles Time and money

9. Ask Don’t be afraid to ask for what you need If you are consistently thwarted, don’t be afraid to change jobs

11. You need/want to be promoted - what will get you there? Know your institution’s priorities! Scholarship How much research is expected? Is educational research acceptable? Teaching How is “good teaching” measured? Service How much is expected? Is local local necessary? Non-local?

12. Know your institution’s priorities If you create a new course, is that scholarship, teaching, service? All three? If you advise undergraduates in their research, is it scholarship? Is it teaching? Is it service?

13. You want to be promoted, is that all you need? Know your own priorities! You must know what you want What brings you satisfaction? What do you enjoy? What sorts of activities do you find rewarding?

14. Improving Your Teaching Teaching may be more important than scholarship at your school Find your local teaching and learning center Attend seminars on teaching techniques Attend SIGCSE, ITiCSE or CCSC conferences Ask your colleagues to share their lecture notes and assignments Ask another good teacher to observe you

15. You need to maintain currency, you need to generate publications… Collaborators: Keep you motivated and focused Contribute different strengths / ideas Satisfaction of working with others interested in same things you are

16. You need recognition, letters of recommendation… Volunteerism - Rewarding Great way to make contacts Great way to learn more

18. Funding Internal sources External sources

19. Internal Funding Sources Individually earmarked funds Travel / Equipment / Startup Departmental funds College / Division / School funds Research & teaching center Travel funds Institution-wide funds

20. Additional Internal Funding “Hidden funds” at your institution Can you connect with an institutional grant? Can you position your need in terms of institutional priorities? Get to know your development officers May help find trustees or alumni interested in your project

21. External Funding Sources Federal agencies http://www.firstgov.gov/Citizen/Topics/Science/Agencies.shtml NSF relevant divisions: CISE, DUE, EHR General purpose equipment not supported; tie request to curriculum development Volunteer to serve on panels to learn more Corporate Research & Development Labs Often initiated by contact at the lab Consulting Further your own goals (not only the company’s) Be careful about patent and copyright issues Professional organizations such as SIGCSE

22. External Funding Sources (cont’d) State funds Private foundations Collaborations with others NSF DUE Project Information & Resource system lists funded projects and PIs https://www.ehr.nsf.gov/pirs_prs_web/search/ You might serve as evaluator, beta tester, become involved with dissemination

23. Travel Funding Combine trips Give a talk nearby Visit feeder institutions or alumni Admissions or Development might help? Share costs Travel with a colleague Share driving, hotels Bring students Builds visibility; institutions more inclined to fund!

24. Equipment Internal / external funding sources already mentioned Find someone else to share it with Who already has it Who can help you purchase it Can you trade something you have for something you need?

25. Time for Research Time shift – don’t overload Do not teach in the summer Ask for release time (and learn to say “no”) Administrative responsibilities External professional activities Incorporate research activities in your classes Research-oriented projects Discussions of current literature

26. Recognition Opportunities Seek leadership roles with visibility ACM and IEEE senior membership “Press releases” at your institution Blow your own horn! Opportunities for awards & recognition Be aware: institution, local, professional society Nominating others helps your visibility

27. In Summary Invest in yourself and in your promotion Be proactive and don’t wait for it to happen Take advantage of all available resources Take full advantage of the experience that mentors and role models have to offer Good luck! And when you make it, be sure to pay back and help others.

29. Recruit work study students who have federal funding Consider giving students course credits if money is not available or not sufficient. If you have an NSF grant, you can get funds (relatively easily) through an REU supplement for undergraduate researchers Undergrad Research Assistants
