Monitoring academic institutions where American scholars are based
In a groundbreaking research by G. Tripodia, a comprehensive dataset tracking tenure-track faculty at U.S. PhD-granting universities from 2011 to 2020 has been made available. This dataset, which covers all scientific disciplines, offers a systematic identification of tenure-line faculty during this time period [1].
The dataset, accessible via the author's website or academic repositories linked to the publication "Tenure and Research Trajectories" [1], includes information from 368 universities and data for over 295,000 tenure-track faculty employed during the specified period.
The dataset provides a wealth of details, including the institution and year each professor received their PhD, faculty rank, and gender information when available. Interestingly, over one in eight faculty received their PhDs from Harvard, University of Michigan, the University of California, Berkeley, Stanford University, or the University of Wisconsin.
This extensive database, created by researchers at the University of Colorado, Boulder, is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the educational backgrounds and career trajectories of tenure-track faculty in the United States. The dataset is for universities that grant Doctors of Philosophy (PhD) degrees, ensuring a focused and detailed look into the academic landscape.

AI technologies can leverage this comprehensive dataset to analyze the educational backgrounds and career trajectories of tenure-track faculty in the US. This data, when coupled with AI algorithms, could provide valuable insights for education-and-self-development initiatives, helping to identify patterns and trends in academic research and tenure.
The dataset, boasting over 295,000 records, serves as a significant technology-driven tool for researchers, policy makers, and educators in their efforts to study the landscape of tenure-track faculty and develop targeted strategies for improvement in education and self-development.
