Faculty Careers Program of Study: Apply Stage (Beyond the Professoriate)

Faculty Job Application Workbook

The Faculty Job Application Workbook is a companion resource to the Beyond the Professoriate platform’s Faculty Job Search program, designed to help users prepare, draft, and refine application materials for faculty positions. Available through Beyond the Professoriate, the workbook provides guidance and activities focused on key academic job search documents, including the academic CV, academic cover letter, teaching statement, teaching portfolio, research statement, and diversity statement.

Who should use this resource:

Graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and other aspiring faculty candidates preparing applications for academic positions. This resource is especially useful for individuals who are working through the Faculty Job Search program on Beyond the Professoriate and want structured support as they develop their application materials.

Why it’s helpful:

Academic job applications often require multiple specialized documents that differ from materials used in non-academic job searches. This workbook provides practical guidance, reflection exercises, and review strategies to help candidates create stronger, more tailored application materials. It can also help users better understand the purpose and expectations of each document commonly requested in faculty hiring processes.
