Abstract. This paper highlights important issues for graduate students seeking academic employment in Agricultural Economics. Emphasis is placed on developing a strategy to provide clear and reliable signals that the candidate will be a successful assistant professor, not just a successful graduate student. Publishing, teaching, and grant writing are identified as three important areas in which credible signals must be delivered. Advice regarding the interview process is also provided.

我来给个abstract，文章不错，如果有non-academic的也欢迎分享。

The most important piece of advice we offer is the following: if you seek an academic
appointment, you must look not so much like an outstanding graduate student (which everyone
expects you to be), but instead like an assistant professor

The early years: preparing to be a candidate
The middle years:emphasizing three important performance signals
Publishing
Teaching
Grantsmanship
The final year: entering the job market

you need to plan ahead and ensure that you have the qualities that
appeal to job-search committees.
