Inhaltsangabe

Applying for an academic job is a complex process that requires applicants to present their credentials, strengths, and values through multiple written documents. These self-promotional writing genres--particularly research, teaching, and diversity statements--carry different purposes and utilize distinct strategies to portray a job seeker as the right match for the hiring institution. Presentation of Self in Academic Support Genres demystifies these high-stakes genres by analyzing authentic texts and real-world examples. It provides insight into the intricacies and challenges of self-presentation in diverse settings and sheds light on an otherwise hidden discourse community and its conventions. It also includes dozens of engaging activities and tasks, some of which are specifically designed for multilingual writers, that guide readers through composing effective job application materials.

This theoretically grounded but practice-oriented book will be a valuable guide for recent graduates and newly minted PhD holders about to start their careers in higher education and beyond. Readers will gain awareness of job application expectations and best practices, and job seekers interested in pursuing careers beyond the classroom will also learn how to leverage their skills and qualifications for industry jobs. The book will be a great resource in advanced courses on genre-based writing instruction, English for Academic Purposes, and professional communication. In addition, it can be used in graduate professionalization courses, professional seminars, faculty development workshops, or by individuals working independently.
