How to Decide Between an Academic and Nonacademic Career (Beyond the Professoriate)

Register

PhDs work wherever smart people are needed. In today’s creative economy, a faculty career isn’t the only option for PhDs who are seeking engaging and rewarding work. PhDs work in every part of the economy – industry, nonprofits, higher education, and government.

But what career pathway will be right for YOU?

This special workshop series is designed to walk doctoral students, PhDs and postdocs through a series of exercises to help them evaluate career options and identify next steps in building their career either as faculty or beyond the professoriate.

SCHEDULE:

● December 8 - Introduction to Optimal Career Pathway/How to decide
● December 9 - How to identify your values
● December 10 - How to identify your most marketable skills
● December 11 - How to build your network using on campus resources

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

● What other career options are available to PhDs in my discipline?
● How to identify career pathways that are right for me?
● What can I do with my PhD?
● How do I build a community to help me navigate my job search?
