Publisher description
With a perpetually tight job market, the road to an academic career can be
a rocky and frustrating one. There are lots of questions, and this book
attempts to provide good, frank answers to them. The three authors, with more
than 75 years of combined academic experience, talk openly about what is good
and what's not so good about academic life. The book provides information on
finding a mentor, avoiding the pitfalls when writing a dissertation and
negotiating job listings. The authors also discuss tough issues such as
departmental politics, dual-career marriages and sexual harassment. There are
also short essays that offer advice on financing graduate education, publishing
your first book and leaving academia for the corporate world. With a perpetually tight job market, the road to an academic career can be
