Abstract

A tenure-track appointment is a wonderful thing, but it really should come with an instruction manual. This article is a loosely-coupled collection of thoughts and advice on surviving a tenure-track appointment. The focus is on concrete tips and advice for an engineering-school appointment, which was my path, but perhaps some of the ideas are also valid in other environments, such as business schools and mathematics or computer science departments.
