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 9 – Introduction to Optimal Career Pathway/Career Satisfaction
• December 10 – How to identify your values
• December 11 – How to identify your most marketable skills
• December 12 – How to research career options best suited for you

Who should attend: This series is uniquely designed for doctoral students, PhDs, and postdocs from all academic disciplines who are wondering: Is a faculty career path right for me? What other career options are available to PhDs in my discipline?
