Are there professors whose students fare especially well on the job market? Here the data starts to run thin. Few professors advise large numbers of dissertations at a time. That said, we tried to see what we could find. We tracked down advisors for 121 of the 137 assistant professors in our survey, and present the results below. (Mostly, it was people educated outside the U.S. whose advisors we had trouble ascertaining.) When a dissertation was co-supervised by two professors, each was given half credit.
