The faculty job market plays a fundamental role in shaping research priorities,
educational outcomes, and career trajectories among scientists and institutions.
However, a quantitative understanding of faculty hiring as a system is lacking.
Using a simple technique to extract the institutional prestige ranking that best
explains an observed faculty hiring network-who hires whose graduates as
faculty-we present and analyze comprehensive placement data on nearly 19,000
regular faculty in three disparate disciplines. Across disciplines, we find that
faculty hiring follows a common and steeply hierarchical structure that reflects
profound social inequality. Furthermore, doctoral prestige alone better predicts
ultimate placement than a U.S. News & World Report rank, women generally place
worse than men, and increased institutional prestige leads to increased faculty
production, better faculty placement, and a more influential position within the
discipline. These results advance our ability to quantify the influence of
prestige in academia and shed new light on the academic system.
