Recommendation Letters

If you want a recommendation letter from Josh read below.

Writing a recommendation letter takes time, so please check with me to see if I have time. Some years I am writing and submitting letters for eight people (undergrads, grads, postdocs, faculty) and I will have difficulty finding time for another.

If I agree here is what I’d like from you:

• A calendar event shared with me set for noon one business day before the recommendation letter is due for each letter
• An up-to-date CV or resume
• When we first met and how
• What you think are your technical skills and strengths
• Any leadership roles you have held

For graduate students there are some additional questions:

• Your teaching or TA experience
• Your administration experience
