Doctoral Students, Grads, PostDocs, & Part-Time or Adjunct Professors, and Highly-Educated Professionals:
Don't surrender your dream of a career in higher ed
The seemingly insurmountable challenge of landing a career in academe is well-documented. Research suggests that, depending on one's chosen field, as few as 10-17% of seekers will find a full-time teaching post. Sadly, even well-intentioned faculty, family, and friends unwittingly discourage you by regular reminders that the odds are not in your favor.
They did it. Why not you? Academii has answers.
No more excuses.
The good news is there are more than four-thousand institutions of higher learning within the United States alone. In these schools, new vacant administrative and teaching positions are announced on a regular basis. In every instance, someone will be hired to fill each vacancy.
But every search is filled with well-educated and hopeful, but hapless candidates. Unaware of exactly what institutions are looking for and how to present themselves as the missing puzzle piece, most applicants self-destruct somewhere along the search process.
As the system mercilessly spits out the vast majority of candidates, most chalk up the rejection email as a glutted market or school politics at play. They never suspect that many of those positions were within reach, had they known what institutions want and need— and grasped the strategies to communicate themselves as the solution to the problem.
Never forget that, despite the odds, your own professors were once hired into their current positions. And chances are that you personally know scholars who've been offered contracts— despite the odds. They and many others like them have successfully made it into the Ivory Tower.
Welcome to ACADEMII
Plato founded the Academy in ancient Athens. It was the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. There, great minds were formed and civilization reached its zenith.
