How to Decide Between an Academic and Nonacademic Career Series (EVERY WEDNESDAY IN MARCH

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 Beyond the Professoriate 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.

When: Every Wednesday in March from 12 p.m. – 12:30 p.m. ET

Format: The virtual workshops include instruction, reflective prompts and exercises, and opportunities for participants to ask questions directly to the Beyond Prof team.

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?
• How to identify career pathways that are right for me?
• What can I do with my PhD?
