Find the right job

Chapter 12 in How to be an Academic Superhero, 2023, pp 61-67 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Choosing the right job in academia can have a significant impact on your career trajectory. Working at a university with substantial teaching responsibilities may limit your opportunities for research advancement compared to a research-intensive institution. Some prestigious universities may also discriminate against candidates based on their past affiliations. Understanding department and university rankings can provide insights into institutional quality, but rankings should be interpreted cautiously. Consider the broader political and economic context of potential job locations. Timing is important, as academic jobs are often advertised several months before the academic year starts. If your CV is not strong enough, pursuing a postdoctoral fellowship can bridge the gap and enhance your research credentials. Utilize personal networks, university websites, online job resources, professional societies and headhunters to find suitable positions.
