Overview
Join the Institute for Humane Studies for a two-day Job Market Papers Workshop in partnership with Mario Juarez-Garcia (Tulane University), Chad Van Schoelandt (Tulane University), Brian Kogelmann (Purdue University), and Emily Skarbek (Brown University) on November 10–11, 2026, before the Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) Society annual meeting. This workshop offers advanced PhD students preparing to enter the job market the opportunity to present their job market paper or a strong prospective draft to faculty discussants and fellow participants, and to receive focused, substantive feedback at a critical stage of their careers.
In addition to paper sessions, each participant will take part in a mock job market interview with one of our faculty discussants, providing targeted, one-on-one feedback on interview performance. Participants will leave better prepared to present their research and themselves on the academic job market.
IHS will provide all participants with a $200 honorarium, a travel stipend to offset the cost of airfare and lodging, and all meals during the workshop. Participants who have already booked flights to attend the PPE Society meeting are welcome—IHS will cover reasonable costs associated with changing flights to accommodate the workshop.
