How do you become a professor?

  • I want to be a computer science professor, I know it is hard, but I am VERY hard working. I love my feild! I have a Ph.D in computer science, but no real experence. Do you need to be a school teacher first? What kind of things do I need to do to be a professor?

  • Answer:

    No, you don't need to teach school first - in fact, even with a PhD you'd need a teaching license to teach K-12, and you don't need one to teach at the college level. You can just start applying for jobs. It often helps if you've done a postdoc, and/or can claim a little bit of teaching experience, even from labs or something while in grad school. Here's a site that lists current job openings at colleges and universities around the US, what they are looking for in applicants, and sometimes how much they are offering. http://www.higheredjobs.com
