In my occupation, the notice is about a 2-3 months. It would be difficult to give less notice in terms of planning on your part and planning on the institution's part. This is all covered in our documents. Only extenuating circumstances warrant less notice without pissing people off.
I think a lot of occupations have at least 3 weeks notice. I recommend taking the notice policy seriously because, unless the company is a complete nightmare and you don't give a darn, you want to end on a good note. You may need references, social capital, good occupational reputation, seeing former employers at conferences, your new employer taking you seriously as a professional, etc.

Good luck!
