Is a Faculty Job Right For You? (Beyond the Professoriate)

Register

Most doctoral students and postdocs pursue a PhD with the goal of becoming a university professor. But today’s academic job market is highly competitive and a tenure-track role may not be the right fit for everyone. As your values, life circumstances, and career goals evolve, it’s important to reassess what career paths align with your personal and professional needs. In today’s creative economy, PhDs are thriving in a wide range of roles — both within and beyond academia.

So how do you decide if a faculty job is right for you? How do you make a confident, informed decision about what career path to pursue?

This webinar is designed for doctoral students, PhDs, and postdocs from all academic disciplines who are wondering:

● How do I know if pursuing a faculty position is the right choice for me?
● How long should I stay on the academic job market?
● How do I evaluate whether my goals and values align with a faculty career?
● What are my options if I decide not to pursue a tenure-track path?
