The workshop will be modeled after the CHI Doctoral Consortia. Each participant will be given 30-45 minutes to present and get feedback on his/her research and professional activities. We will also hold a series of panels in which senior researchers discuss (a) developing a career trajectory, (b) getting started in professional service, and (c) issues of work/life balance. Topics will include:

• Building a cohort group of fellow HCI researchers.
• Establishing a successful career path in academia, industry, and the nonprofit sector
• Selecting and developing a research trajectory.
• Identifying potential funding sources and preparing proposals.
• Getting involved in professional service.
• Communicating your work and strengthening your public profile
• Balancing work, family and social life.
