Faculty members, administrators, and professionals with experience at all levels of higher education offer candid, practical advice to help beginning academics understand matters including: - The different kinds of institutions of higher learning and expectations of faculty at each. - The advantages and disadvantages of teaching at four-year colleges instead of research universities. - The ins and outs of the job market. - Alternatives to tenure-track, research-oriented positions. - Salary and benefits. - The tenure system. - Pedagogy in both large lecture courses and small, discussion-based seminars. - The difficulties facing women and minorities within academia. - Corporations, foundations, and the federal government as potential sources of research funds. - The challenges of faculty mentoring. - The impact of technology on contemporary teaching and learning. - Different types of publishers and the publishing process at university presses. - The modern research library. - The structure of university governance. - The role of departments within the university. With the inclusion of eight new chapters, this edition of The Academic's Handbook is designed to ease the transition from graduate school to a well-rounded and rewarding career. Contributors.
