About Professor Town
We help lecturers, professors, adjuncts, and grad students navigate the academic job market with confidence.
Our Mission
The academic job market is brutally opaque. With 80–200+ applicants per opening, the odds are stacked against you,unless you know what hiring committees are actually looking for.
I'm Haaris Mian. I've been academic faculty at various institutions since 2016 and have served on numerous search committees. I've personally reviewed thousands of CV,s teaching statements, and interviewed hundreds of candidates. Through this work, I have helped dozens of candidates get interviews and offers.
Over time, I cracked the code on what actually works. Professor Town exists to share everything I've learned so you don't have to figure it out alone, or take the several years it took me.
What Makes Us Different

I've been academic faculty since 2016 and have served on numerous search committees. I still sit on hiring committees today which means I see exactly what's working right now, not what worked 10 years ago.

Proven Results
Our average client gets interviews within 30 days of working with us. Most clients get offers in less than 90 days.
Why Professor Town Exists
The average University or College level faculty member impacts about 5,200+ students over their careers through teaching and research mentorship. That's thousands of students who could benefit from a better faculty member. I got into this because I genuinely believe that better educators change everything. A great professor doesn't just teach content; they make students want to learn; they inspire researchers to better the world. They're the reason someone switches majors, or stays in school, or pursues a career they never imagined for themselves.
Academia is changing. The role of the professor is evolving. But one thing stays constant: students deserve teachers who are passionate, prepared, and actually good at this. The world needs more of those people in front of classrooms, not stuck in adjunct limbo or giving up on academia entirely because the hiring process felt impossible to crack.
So I'm giving away the playbook. All of it. Because the candidates who care enough to prepare? Those are exactly the people who should be getting these jobs. And once you get the job, you'll be able to improve the lives of thousands of young adults entering the world.
