Abstract

Out of the more than 40 doctoral programs in criminal justice and criminology, an estimated 120—150 people graduate from these programs every year. About 85% of Ph.D. graduates remain in academics as educators and/or researchers. This paper provides practical advice to current and recent graduate students who are preparing to enter the job market in search of an academic job. The hope is that adequate preparation and understanding of the process will lead to greater individual happiness, career longevity, and ensure a better institutional fit. Topics covered in this paper include types of faculty positions, different types of institutions, application materials, job search process, preparing for the interview, and offers and negotiations.
