A pocket mentor for the early career academic learning to
strategically navigate the demands of an academic role, this book
is a friendly and constructive companion providing hands-on advice
about how to balance teaching responsibilities alongside other
duties. More than just a 'how to', the text is a timely commentary
on changes in higher education. Discussing contemporary
developments and offering guidance on how to negotiate this
evolving climate, the book uniquely captures the political, social,
economic and cultural forces at play, taking into account the
issues which influence and shape an academic's career trajectory.
Organised around the three main tasks within a conventional
academic post - teaching, research and administration - the book
includes tips, pauses for thought, author reflections and sources
for further reading, and provides insight to help the reader
reflect on what they are doing, why, and where to go next in their
career. Crucially, it shows that in order to survive and flourish,
the early career academic needs to take a strategic view as to
their function, purpose and contribution both inside and beyond the
intellectual establishment. From establishing a research niche to
getting stuck into administration Survive and Thrive empowers the
early career academic, helping them to build their academic
reputation both internally and externally and maintain a sense of
personal fulfilment and accomplishment within an increasingly
commercialised environment.
