About Pretenures
English (USA)

JrProfessHers (Pretenures) is a moderated mailing list for women faculty in computer science,computer engineering and information technology who do not yet have tenure.

Because being in a new (or relatively new) job and going through the tenure process can be stressful, it can be useful to share experiences with and get advice from other women in the same situation. Some of the topics will likely be specific to women, while others will be more general. Anonymous postings can be made by sending a request to the list moderators.

This list requires each subscriber to provide a short statement about her qualifications to join this list; specifically, that she is:

* a faculty member in a computer science, computer engineering, or information technology department
* in a tenure track position
* not yet tenured
* female

To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the Pretenures Archives. (The current archive is only available to the list members.)
