Karen Kelsky started The Professor Is In in 2011, and since then it has helped over 15,000 PhDs find fulfilling careers inside academia and beyond. Dedicated to demystifying the hidden curriculum of the academic career, The Professor Is In provides services ranging from job application editing, interview and campus visit coaching, and negotiation support to support for tenure and promotion, book proposals, grant proposals, and career strategizing at every stage. Her book, The Professor Is In: The Essential Guide to Turning Your Ph.D. Into a Job, is available from Random House (Three Rivers Press).

Equally central is her work helping academics LEAVE academia, under the sister initiative, The Professor Is OUT. Her private Professor Is Out Facebook group, now at 36K members, is the most dynamic space on the internet for academics (including TONS of tenure track and tenured faculty) looking at the door. Her post-ac coaching team works one on one with clients to shift their thinking, translate their skills, and apply for positions (or create their own!) across the wide world of work.
