Abstract

In this chapter, Dr. Than discusses the journey of finding a new job and ensuring that the position is the right fit for you. Do not start the job search too early. For academics, 1 year ahead of time is the sweet spot. Cast a wide net. The most common response you may get is no response. Think about the factors that are important to you, including academics versus private, location, and future colleagues.
