Navigating an Academic Career: A Brief Guide for PhD Students, Postdocs, and New Faculty

Jeffrey J McDonnell

4.9/5 (28286 ratings)

Description:Navigating an academic career is a practical career guidebook aimed to provide mentoring advice to early career scientists and engineers from a personal perspective. While the scope of the book is aimed at demystifying the academic career path for those starting out, mid-career faculty are also targeted with sections that cover the years leading up to tenure, and beyond. The target audience is PhD students, post doctoral students, and untenured Assistant Professors. There are 184,000 PhD students in 2019 alone in the USA and this number is growing. There are another 64,000 post doctoral students at present in the USA in science and engineering (data from NSF's Survey of Graduate Students and Postdoctorates in Science and Engineering). Data from 2015 shows that there are currently 1.6 million faculty at degree-granting postsecondary institutions in the USA, and an estimate is that more than half of this number are Assistant Professors. Currently, no self-help books like this one exists. Author sees pent-up demand for a concise book that is easily reachable by doctoral students and post doctoral students and speaks to the personal side of an academic career. This is based on his experience with the Science magazine Working Life series, where he is a contributing author and weekly reader of material by others. His own short courses on early career mentoring in a dozen plus countries has given him perspectives that he hopes to realize and communicate within this book to a wide and varied audience.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
