Book excerpt: The definitive career guide for grad students, adjuncts, post-docs and anyone else eager to get tenure or turn their Ph.D. into their ideal job Each year tens of thousands of students will, after years of hard work and enormous amounts of money, earn their Ph.D. And each year only a small percentage of them will land a job that justifies and rewards their investment. For every comfortably tenured professor or well-paid former academic, there are countless underpaid and overworked adjuncts, and many more who simply give up in frustration. Those who do make it share an important asset that separates them from the pack: they have a plan. They understand exactly what they need to do to set themselves up for success. They know what really moves the needle in academic job searches, how to avoid the all-too-common mistakes that sink so many of their peers, and how to decide when to point their Ph.D. toward other, non-academic options. Karen Kelsky has made it her mission to help readers join the select few who get the most out of their Ph.D. As a former tenured professor and department head who oversaw numerous academic job searches, she knows from experience exactly what gets an academic applicant a job. And as the creator of the popular and widely respected advice site The Professor is In, she has helped countless Ph.D.’s turn themselves into stronger applicants and land their dream careers. Now, for the first time ever, Karen has poured all her best advice into a single handy guide that addresses the most important issues facing any Ph.D., including: -When, where, and what to publish -Writing a foolproof grant application -Cultivating references and crafting the perfect CV -Acing the job talk and campus interview -Avoiding the adjunct trap -Making the leap to nonacademic work, when the time is right The Professor Is In addresses all of these issues, and many more.

Download or read book Paying the Professoriate written by Philip G. Altbach and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2012-04-27 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How are professors paid? Can the "best and brightest" be attracted to the academic profession? With universities facing international competition, which countries compensate their academics best, and which ones lag behind? Paying the Professoriate examines these questions and provides key insights and recommendations into the current state of the academic profession worldwide. Paying the Professoriate is the first comparative analysis of global faculty salaries, remuneration, and terms of employment. Offering an in-depth international comparison of academic salaries in twenty-eight countries across public, private, research, and non-research universities, chapter authors shed light on the conditions and expectations that shape the modern academic profession. The top researchers on the academic profession worldwide analyze common themes, trends, and the impact of these matters on academic quality and research productivity. In a world where higher education capacity is a key driver of national innovation and prosperity, and nations seek to fast-track their economic growth through expansion of higher education systems, policy makers and administrators increasingly seek answers about what actions they should be taking. Paying the Professoriate provides a much needed resource, illuminating the key issues and offering recommendations.

Nettles and published by Department of Education Office of Educational. This book was released on 2000 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report, using data from the 1992-93 National Study of Postsecondary Faculty, examines differences among postsecondary faculty by gender and by race/ethnicity. Comparisons were made on several human capital variables (education/experience) and structural variables (academic discipline/institution type), as well as for faculty outcomes (salary/tenure/rank). A multivariate analysis of factors associated with salary was also conducted. The study found differences between male and female faculty members in salary and rank, with female full-time faculty averaging lower salaries than males. Age, education, and experience also differed by gender, with female full-time faculty having lower educational levels and less experience than male faculty. Differences among racial/ethnic groups were also noted: white faculty generally had higher salaries and were more likely to be tenured and to be full professors than black faculty; and Black, non-Hispanic full-time faculty were less likely than white, non-Hispanic faculty to have higher salaries, tenure, and full professorships. Sections include an introduction, which notes prior research on the determinants of faculty salary, tenure, and rank, and methodology; sections examining representation of faculty by gender and by race/ethnicity; a section on the multivariate analysis; and a conclusion. Appended are technical notes, standard error tables, and additional data. (Contains 44 references.) (CH)

Download or read book A Study of Instructional Faculty Salaries at USF SUS and National Peers written by Theodore Micceri and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates 10-year trends in instructional faculty salaries by sex and rank for USF, five SUS Peers (UF, FSU, FIU, UCF, FAU) and eight National Peers (North Carolina State, Alabama-Birmingham, Illinois-Chicago, California-Irvine, SUNY-Stony Brook, SUNY-Buffalo, Cincinnati, Rutgers). Methods: Historical instructional faculty salary data were gathered from the IPEDS Data Center (IPEDS, 2010) and submitted to analysis using SAS 9.2. Findings and Discussion: If this study tells us one thing, it is that faculty salaries are extremely important to higher education research institutions, because they exhibited relatively consistent increases at comparatively steep slopes for all but instructors (Figure 1, Figure 2), even in these economic hard times. Average annual increases ranged from around 5% for full professors to about 4% for instructors through associate professors. This suggests that perhaps 40-50% of the average annual 10-year increase in tuition and fees (Micceri, 2010), may be attributed to faculty salary cost increases. Figure 2 shows that National Peer full professor salaries are quite a bit above SUS salaries, while their associate professor salaries are slightly above those of SUS institutions. For assistant professors, the gap above the SUS is quite small and for instructors, there appears to be little, if any gap. This suggests that institutions put greater emphasis on salary compensation for higher ranking individuals than for less well compensated lower ranking people. This fact is further supported by the average annual increase of circa 5% for full professors depicted in Figure 3. Figure 1 indicates that the gap between male and female salaries has remained comparatively stable over this 10-year period, except for USF full professors, where males have increased their advantage over females from 2006 through 2009. Note that two primary reasons for the salary advantages male faculty exhibit over female faculty are: (1) males tend to work in disciplines characterized by higher compensation than females, and (2) males tend to be more senior than females, particularly at the full professor rank, where the greatest gap occurs. Conclusions: Consistent salary increases during hard economic times suggests that faculty compensation is a primary concern of higher education institutions. The fact that the faculty receiving the greatest incomes (full professors) exhibited the greatest average annual salary increases over the past 10 years raises questions regarding the justice of the higher education's compensation system. The fact that perhaps half of the recent average annual 10.8% increases in tuition and fees may be attributed to faculty salary increases raises questions regarding discrimination favoring the affluent in higher education.
