Beyond the Professoriate Series: How to Decide Between an Academic and Nonacademic Career
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.
During the series we’ll talk about:
- December 8 – Introduction to your 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
Who should attend: This series is uniquely designed for doctoral students, PhDs, and postdocs from all academic disciplines who are wondering:
- How do I build a community to help me navigate my job search?
- 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?
The webinar will be held via Zoom webinar and will be recorded. Advanced registration is required.
