You’ve Got Your PhD: Now What? A Practical Guide to Landing Your First Tenure-Track Appointment

Dr. Craig Winstead offers real-world guidance to PhD graduates and doctoral candidates pursuing tenure track employment at a college or university. This eBook is also useful to the adjunct job seeker or current adjunct instructor in the transition from temporary to full-time faculty status. 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.
