Demystifies the academic career path with practical advice

With the number of people being awarded PhDs growing far more rapidly than the supply of academic jobs, those at an early-career stage must think strategically in order to be competitive and successful.

Navigating an Academic Career: A Brief Guide for PhD students, Post docs, and New Faculty is a concise and conversational manual that guides readers through starting their academic journey, surviving the demands of their first academic position, and thriving in academia and beyond.

Volume highlights include:

  • Firsthand perspective on the characteristics of a successful academic
  • Guidance on interviewing, negotiating, branding, and other essential soft skills
  • Tips for effective time management and writing high-impact research papers
  • Insights into developing leadership skills and mentoring others
  • The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.
