Abstract

The development of a career as an academic can be a very rewarding experience, but many entering this career are unprepared for what the role actually entails. This lack of preparedness can bring unnecessary stress to new academics, delaying achievement of their career goals. In this chapter we aim to help reduce this unpreparedness by highlighting some common difficulties experienced by new academics.
