[*Concerns of Young Mathematicians*] YMN Joint Math Meetings Schedule

[Kung, David T]

YMN readers,

We at YMN have been working hard to organize an exciting array of events
at the upcoming Joint Meetings in DC.  We hope you'll join us yourself
and that you'll forward this message to interested friends who will be
coming to DC.  The complete list of our events appears below.

 

If you've been checking our community blog (www.youngmath.net
<http://www.youngmath.net/> ), you've seen a rash of great posts lately
about the job market and other issues.  We've invited a handful of
people to blog about their experiences, and their posts are generating
some good discussion.  There will be more about this after the Meetings,
but for now take a moment to check out:

 

jobhunter08, searching for a new job, writing about that experience:
concerns.youngmath.net/user/jobhunter08/stories 

nowhiring, a faculty member on a search committee, writing about her/his
experiences on that side of the table:
concerns.youngmath.net/user/nowhiring/stories 

rtalbert, author of the popular math blog Casting Out Nines, writing
about a whole host of issues:
concerns.youngmath.net/user/rtalbert/stories 

 

Please remember that if you want to join the conversation by posting
comments or your own stories (and we hope you do!) you have to sign up
for an account.

way to give back to the community.

 

Finally, on behalf of the editorial board of YMN, I'd like to wish you a
Happy New Year!
