Books/resources for new faculty
On the teaching side, I wish that I'd read at the start of my career:
- Ambrose, et. al., How Learning Works
- Bain, What the Best College Teachers Do
And specifically for math instructors:
- Krantz, How to Teach Mathematics
This useful guide, called Against Junior Faculty Stress Culture recommends the following resources:
- The Art of Saying "No", Kerry Ann Rocquemore, National Center for Faculty Development & Diversity, date unknown.
- The Awesomest 7-Year Postdoc or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Tenure-Track Faculty Life, Radhika Nagpal (Harvard Computer Science), Scientific American, July 2013.

It is on github, so don't hesitate to expand it by making pull requests!
For new researchers/teachers in France, there is this welcome guide entitled "Livret d'accueil des mathématicien(ne)s" written by the French math societies (SMF, SMAI, SFS). Some of it is specific to mathematics, but most of it appears to be suitable for everyone. (I hope I will have the need to read it someday...)
