​Job Market Session 

​

In this year's conference in Tokyo, a job market session will be dedicated to young researchers who are planning to join the job market in 2022/2023.  The AASLE 2022 job market will include presentation sessions from a diverse group of potential employers.  We will also organize a dedicated session to student networking so that students can meet with senior academic staff to discuss their work and learn from their experiences.  This will provide an opportunity for potential employers and students to meet and exchange views.

If you are interested in this opportunity, please provide a letter of support from your supervisor.  Letters of support can either be uploaded during the paper submission process or sent separately via email to conference@aasle.org.  The deadline to apply is 17 July 2022.  As with all other submissions, registration is required for conference attendance in case the paper is accepted.
