Advice for Postgraduates

This page is still a work in progress, but I hope to add information here about postdocs, job hunting, turning your PhD into a book, and working in academia.

Job Hunting

• The Professor Is In is a book, a blog, an online forum, etc. A very useful guide.

Working in academia

• Advice for new assistant professors
• Matthew Wolf-Meyer's advice on professionalization (including publishing articles, turning your dissertation into a book, and getting tenure, etc.)
