Let's cover all points one after the other -

Important Houses - Following are important houses -

• 1^st house - 1^st house is always the most important house of any chart as it represents the person and his life path. Wherever 1^st house lord is placed, it gives an indication related with life path the person is supposed to follow.
• 3^rd house – 3^rd house is house of communication, collection of information and sharing information. 
• 5^th house – 5^th house is main house of education, teaching and counselling others.
• 8^th house – 8^th house is house of serving other people through whichever means. So, it can be through education too.
• 9^th house – 9^th house is house of Higher Education, Teachers and Gurus.
• 10^th house – As it is main house of career and work.
• 11^th house – 11^th house represents large organizations which includes large institutes also like educational institutes. 

Important Signs - Following are important signs -

• Gemini – Being the 3^rd sign, it has energy and representations of 3^rd house as discussed above.
• Cancer – It is the sign of taking care and nourishing others. So, the most common professions linked with Cancer are Medicine and Teaching.  
• Leo – Again, being the 5^th sign, it has energy and representations of 5^th house as discussed above.
• Sagittarius – A sign of higher education and as it is 9^th sign and represents 9^th house energy and things as discussed above.

Important Planets - Following are important planets -

• Jupiter – Jupiter is the main planet of Teaching and Teachers.
• Venus – Then Venus is another planet of Teachers as it is representation of Shukracharya.
• Mercury – Mercury is karaka of communication, teaching and counselling.
• Moon – As Moon represents nourishing others and mother who remains our 1^st teacher, Moon also is important for teaching career.

Important Nakshatras - Following are important nakshatras -

• All the nakshatras of Jupiter, i.e. Punarvasu, Vishakha and Purva-Bhadra are important for teaching as basic Jupiter energy of Teacher or Guide is there.
• Moola – As Sagittarius starts with Moola which represents research work, it shows someone who is in research oriented education.
• Purva-Ashadha –It comes after Moola where we go for higher education and segregate useful information from not so useful information.

Various Combinations - Now, any combination between these houses, planets, signs and nakshatras can create an Academician. Any combination between these planets, houses, signs & nakshatras where energy exchanges between them will be enough to make an Academician in proper dasha time.

Atma Karaka or Amatya Karaka - If Moon, Mercury, Jupiter or Venus becomes person's Atma Karaka or Amatya Karaka, then things can be more prominent to become an Academician as these planets represent teaching and guiding others.

Mahadashas - But as always, dashas will activate houses or planets and person will have realization at that time to take up Academics as Career.

Example Chart – Let’s take the chart of someone who was given a name of Ocean of Knowledge for his great services in field of Education, Shri Ishwarchand Vidyasagar.  

• Cancer Ascendant – Life Path of taking care and nourishing others.
• Moon – Ascendant Lord Moon, which itself is one of important planets for teaching career, is in 10^th house/Aries of Career.
• Venus - Another teacher planet, is sitting in ascendant which shows his life path can be impacted by field of teaching.
• 3^rd house & 9^th house axis – 5 out of 9 planets are in 3^rd house/9^th house axis which shows life focus on collecting information and then sharing/publishing information.
• Jupiter – 9^th house lord Jupiter is in 8^th house of research or serving other people. It shows his service to people through his research and higher education.
• Moon was Atma Karaka and Venus was Amatya Karaka.
• Last but not the least, from the beginning of his life, he was under Moon MD (Ascendant Lord), Mars MD (10^th house lord where Moon is placed), Rahu MD (placed in 9^th house), Jupiter MD (9^th house lord) and Saturn MD (again placed in 9^th  house). So, whole life Moon or 9^th house remained active and hence the life was dedicated towards higher education and academics.

Hope this helps. Thanks,
