About Professor Town
We help professors, adjuncts, and grad students navigate the academic job market with confidence.
Our Mission
The academic job market is challenging, but it doesn't have to be mysterious. We believe that with the right preparation and support, every qualified candidate can find the right position.
Professor Town was founded by faculty members who have served on hiring committees and seen firsthand what works—and what doesn't. We've conducted 500+ mock interviews and worked with candidates across 40+ departments.
What Makes Us Different
Insider Knowledge
Our coaches have sat on hiring committees. They know exactly what committees are looking for and can give you insights you won't find anywhere else.
Practical Approach
No fluff, no theory—just actionable strategies and real-world practice that gets results. We focus on what actually works in interviews.
Proven Results
Our average client reduces their time-to-offer by 30–60 days. Most report feeling significantly more confident after just one coaching session.
Our Story
After years of serving on hiring committees, we noticed a pattern: candidates who were well-prepared stood out immediately, while others struggled despite having strong qualifications.
We started offering informal coaching to colleagues and graduate students, and the results were clear. With structured preparation and feedback, candidates were getting more interviews and offers.
Professor Town was born from a simple belief: everyone deserves access to the insights and preparation that lead to successful academic careers.
