As academics strive to achieve a professorship, their career path is often relatively clear, well guided and supported. However, once the level of professorship is achieved, after the initial celebrations, the future might be less clear in terms on how to build on this success and to develop their careers going forward. Often new professors are unclear of what the possible professorial career trajectories are and how they might achieve them. They may also be under considerable institutional pressure to take on new leadership roles and responsibilities.
