Abstract	At a time when the academic job market is looking bleak, the author asked career experts and economic forecasters to predict where faculty job growth could come in the next decade. Many agreed that job prospects will be dim because of budget cuts and diminishing faculty pension funds that have made professors less likely to retire. In addition, the growing use of graduate students and adjuncts to teach classes means fewer jobs are available that are secure or financially rewarding. This article lists some of the academic fields experts believe will be "hot" over the coming decade, including green chemistry, alternative energy technologies, energy and environmental analysis, gerontology, health-related fields and health-care policy.
