Abstract
Approximately 100 geographers were studied as they made the transition from graduate student to full‐time faculty staff. In this article, information is presented about the general characteristics, training and performance of the study population and on the sorting process that determined which graduate students went to what academic institutions as new teachers. Recommendations are made for graduate departments of geography and for departments reviewing applications for teaching positions.Keywords
