Advice for Beginning Inorganic Faculty

Submitted by Kyle Grice / DePaul University on Thu, 01/24/2013 - 14:05

Dear Viper Community,

I have finally lined up an Inorganic academic position at a undergraduate institution, and will be moving there in the summer to start preparing for teaching and setting up my lab. I am extremely excited, but also worried that in all of the excitement to come, I may  miss or overlook something important.

I was wondering if you have any advice for a beginning inorganic faculty member. Were there any challenges you had  not forseen? Was there something that you wish you had been aware of from the start?
