Hope to obtain a faculty
position? The academic job-hunting season is just around the corner.
Are you ready?
The first step in securing an academic position is finding available openings. Where do you look? How do you locate
positions?
The academic job market is highly specialized, so you're unlikely to come across advertisements for faculty positions in your local paper. Instead, peruse the
monthly newsletters of associations and organizations in your discipline. The Internet
offers a wealth of resources for the academic job hunter. Check out these sources for the
first word on faculty job openings.
