Abstract
Whether as a doctoral student or an assistant professor looking to change jobs, it is useful to have an understanding of the faculty hiring process to increase the chances of securing a desired position. This chapter indicates the attributes that a hiring school may look for in a job candidate and highlights the timeline of the faculty recruiting process. It also details how candidates can facilitate this process through the creation and delivery of application materials, the communication strategy of the initial interview, the preparation for and performance at the campus visit, and the negotiation of “the deal.”

Notes
- 1.
A professor’s annual salary is typically for 9 or 10 months, with the notion that grants or other sources will provide funding for the summer months. For most entrepreneurship jobs (and others in the business school), you can receive summer support (i.e., pay for these summer months). This adds either 22 % or 20 % (depending on the school) to your salary. Most research schools offer some summer support, but the question (and possible point for negotiation) is how many years they will provide this summer support: it could be three years, six years, or indefinitely if you remain research active.
