Author’s Note:
“You’ve Got Your PhD: Now What?” is based on the real-world experience of obtaining my PhD, searching for a full-time professor position while working as an adjunct, and landing my first tenure-track appointment at a university within nine months of earning my PhD. After reading numerous books, websites, blogs, and every other source that I could absorb regarding the academic job search, I developed specific skills and search strategies that I reveal in this book that any PhD working in the social sciences (and most other disciplines for that matter) can apply to his or her job search.
