Description
Faculty Career Paths examines the multiple ways faculty travel through the academic environment--from graduate student to post-doc, to contingent, tenure-track, non-tenure track, or senior faculty--recognizing that, as the environment for higher education changes, so must the administrative approach to recruiting, hiring, and retaining faculty. Based on national research as well as studies done within the diverse, 16-campus University of North Caolina system, the authors provide practical advice to administrators in higher education.

Reviews:
-Aimed at administrators in higher education, this volume examines the multiple career paths traversed by faculty and assesses the levels of satisfaction or dissatisfaction they experience along the way. The 29 contributions from North American faculty and administrators consider the impact of changing demographics (such as more dual-career couples) and describe the needs and expectations of faculty at particular stages of their careers. The material is based on national research as well as studies conducted within the 16-campus U. of North Carolina system. —Reference & Research Book News

Academic leaders and policymakers take note: Faculty Career Paths is a book you will want to read sooner rather than later. Bataille and Brown have combined their own considerable experience with informative research about the changing routes faculty take to enter the contemporary academic marketplace. In so doing, they capably raise the questions "Who is the new academy?" and "What factors influence individual career satisfaction and success"?... Each chapter includes compelling commentaries written by experienced practitioners, examples of best practice and concrete recommendations for how leaders and institutions can strategically improve hiring, retention, leadership and work-family practices in order to successfully attract, reward and retain quality faculty. Anyone working with faculty employment, development or retirement policies will find this book compulsory reading.
