Faculty Development & Leadership Engineering

What is Faculty Leadership Engineering?

Faculty development and leadership engineering is about more than teaching—it’s about sculpting the next generation of scholar-leaders. As founder of the AIERC Tenure-Track Readiness Initiative, I mentor emerging academics to thrive in competitive research environments, build compelling digital portfolios, and embrace leadership as a daily discipline.

My work integrates coaching, strategic design, and identity-building to support scholars pursuing impactful, future-forward careers in higher education.

Core Features of My Leadership Model:

• Tenure-Track Readiness Training: 12-week program covering CVs, job talks, research statements, and interview prep.

• Mindset & Habits Coaching: High-performance strategies to manage time, build resilience, and maintain scholarly momentum.

• Digital Identity Building: Guidance on personal branding, academic websites, and media visibility to elevate research influence.

Why This Matters Now:

• Bridges Equity Gaps: Supports first-gen, international, and underrepresented scholars navigating academic spaces.

• Future-Proofs Careers: Prepares researchers not just to publish—but to lead, fund, and innovate.

• Expands the Pipeline: Trains educators to build inclusive, AI-ready institutions from the inside out.
