State of the Professoriate

Academic careers develop within diverse and complex settings. This project continues the suite of NETWISE projects to examine factors that matter in how tenure-track and research faculty work and advance in their careers.  It examines issues such as research support and infrastructure, collaborative preferences and experiences, institutional support and environment, and other factors.  Subsets of the sample examine issues such as faculty retirement plans and motivators, mobility, mentoring, and other issues salient to faculty careers. This project involves a national survey in doctoral-serving universities in the United States launched in Fall 2024.
