Candid Advice for New Faculty Members

A Guide to Getting Tenure and Advancing Your Academic Career

Marybeth Gasman,

About this book

"If you want to achieve tenure, you should know a bit more about what it means and why it exists, and its benefits. All too often, even faculty don't understand why tenure is important."

Thus begins the Preface of the first edition of Candid Advice for New Faculty Members, the most comprehensive "how to" guide for graduate students, post-docs, and junior faculty across a variety of academic disciplines. Now, in the Second Edition of this award-winning volume, Marybeth Gasman has added a variety of new topics, including teaching in a post-COVID environment, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in writing and research, new views of DEI, navigating our new politic world, managing your social media and many other important and timely topics. Drawing upon her own extensive experiences and that of many colleagues, Gasman provides you with an incredibly valuable tool for attaining tenure and for the things that you should do to advance your academic career. She provides practical (and sometimes humorous) advice about a range of topics, including:

negotiating job offers
planning a research agenda
improving your teaching skills
managing service
advising students
applying for research grants
achieving life/work balance
managing academic politics

In addition to this valuable career advice, Gasman provides a peek behind the academy's curtain by painting a vivid picture of the inner workings of the academy and all of its players. Candid Advice for New Faculty Members is required reading for every newly-minted faculty member, regardless of academic discipline. The wisdom provided in this volume will prove to be invaluable to your future career.

Perfect for courses such as: Faculty and Academic Affairs, Seminar on Faculty Life, Doctoral seminars across various disciplines, College and University Teaching, Graduate Student Research Seminars, Professional Development Seminars
