Yes, this blog is written mostly for graduate students and young assistant professors. This is because I have more advice to give on those matters. But life (and work and goals and dreams) does not end when you get tenure, even if it's at a university you really like. There is still more work to do. The only difference is that people pay less attention to you. People aren't as concerned about protecting you from difficult service assignments. No more course releases. It's not that these things are not available, it's just that now you're responsible for getting them for yourself. And by now, you should be able to. That said, my firm belief is that we're never too old to get some good mentoring.
This morning, Susan Dynarski tweeted about when associates should go up for full. Thank you for that! Associates, see the full thread here. Full professors, feel free to provide more advice in the comments below...or email/call/message/stop by my office/etc. to share your thoughts with me personally.
