{"product_id":"9781433836398","title":"Thriving in Academia","description":"\u003cp\u003eVeteran professors synthesize their combined 60+ years of expertise at primarily undergraduate, teaching-focused universities into easy-to-follow advice for graduate students and current faculty seeking to build thriving careers at similar institutions.  Writing in a friendly tone that includes their personal reflections, the authors guide readers through the entire career trajectory: finding and applying for positions, developing essential knowledge and skills over the course of one's career, seeking tenure and promotions, and continuing to thrive in the mid- to late-career stages while preparing for retirement.      The authors offer detailed insights for becoming a successful academic who can meet all the expectations of a teaching-focused institution. They explain how to develop core teaching competencies; choose advising philosophies for mentoring individual students, groups, and clubs; perform high-quality faculty service; and achieve scholarly, creative, and research goals--all while managing a high teaching load.      Strategies for obtaining scarce yet crucial resources--time, money, and mentors--are also provided.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51185344282898,"sku":"9781433836398","price":52.76,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3093\/4173\/files\/9781433836398.jpg?v=1774735207","url":"https:\/\/bargainbooks.com.au\/products\/9781433836398","provider":"Bargain Books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
