Faculty Row

A great professor is many things. One must have knowlege of the content, passion for the discipline, respect for the potential of students, and a sense of humility. Most of all, they are attentive to their students with a sense of reason and empathy.

Jo Michael Scheibe is a member of Faculty Row.  What is Faculty Row?  Faculty Row is a private, global network of accomplished academics, allowing these qualified individuals to connect and collaborate with one another. Faculty Row is a fairly new network, founded by Jeffrey C. Finder in 2009.

The members of Faculty Row are sure to educate its community the community each day but providing resources valuable to academics.  Such resources include job postings, professional consulting, expert witness recruitment, relevant breaking news, articles, research and videos.

Access to a highly fragmented global job market began to be shared on Faculty Row in 2013. The group is partnered with Jobs.ac.uk, the largest aggregator of PhD jobs outside the U.S.

Faculty Row is committed to providing tools, resources and access to a network that fosters positive change, innovation and adaptation.  This is an opportunity to expand yourself.

Motto

In 2015, Faculty Row declared their mission going forward to be focused on helping academics adapt and monetize their expertise through traditional and non traditional means.  Academia is about to undergo a transformation with unknowns ahead and it is important to provide aid and stability for one another.
