Career Planning & Development

This hybrid workshop is part of the Becoming a Professional Researcher Themed Week

Session Description  

Do you have a strategy in place to enable a successful transition from PhD into a career in academia? Have you explored alternative career paths? A doctoral qualification is increasingly enabling access to a wide range of opportunities, particularly if you are able to demonstrate the experience, knowledge and skills – and increasingly, strengths and motivations required by employers. The market for jobs in both academia and other sectors is highly competitive, necessitating action planning in advance, a strategic job search and developing ways in which you can positively differentiate yourself from the competition.
