Instead of describing difficulties with his equations or his software programs, he lamented that (a) his graduate assistant wasn’t completing his tasks on time, (b) his department chair didn’t seem to care if junior faculty obtained grants, and (c) a senior professor kept glaring at him in faculty meetings. He knew he could handle the intellectual side of being an academic—but what about the people side? ‘Why didn’t they offer “Being a Professor 101” in graduate school?’ he wondered.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePromotion and Tenure Confidential\u003c\/i\u003e provides that course in an astute and practical book, which shows that P\u0026amp;T is not just about research, teaching, and service but also about human relations and political good sense. Drawing on research and extensive interviews with junior and senior faculty across many institutions, David D. Perlmutter provides clear-sighted guidance on planning and managing an academic career, from graduate school to tenure and beyond. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTopics include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003emaking the transformation from student and protégé to teacher and mentor\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eseeking out and holding onto lifelong allies\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ehow to manage your online reputation and avoid “death by Google”\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ewhat to say and what not to say to deans and department chairs\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ehow meeting deadlines wins points with everyone in your life\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ehow, when, and to whom to say “no”\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ewhen and how to look for a new job when you have a job\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ehow (and whom) to ask for letters of recommendation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ewhat to do if you know you’re not going to get tenure\u003c\/li\u003e","brand":"Harvard University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47124935049456,"sku":"9780674059511","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780674059511_p0.jpg?v=1769897883","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780674059511","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
