There was a time when most PhD students or postdocs would find themselves in tenure track teaching positions, making any other option an “alternative” career path. Since the employment landscape in academia has shifted significantly, most PhD graduates and postdocs find themselves asking the question “what do I do now with this degree?” Should you be considering a career in academia after considering your interests and career goals? Should you rethink any bad feelings associated with “alternative” careers?

All welcome to join us in a discussion about careers and progression in academia or career options after leaving academia!
