Understanding Your Value: Translating Your Ph.D. Beyond the Faculty Job Market
About This Event
Your Ph.D. has prepared you for far more than the faculty job market—but how do you communicate that to employers? Hear from humanities Ph.D. alumni who have built meaningful careers across government, higher education, nonprofit, and corporate sectors. They will share how they reframed their doctoral training, presented their skills in application materials and interviews, and found work aligned with their interests and values. The event features a moderated panel and followed by small group breakout conversations, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and learn from alumni in a more personable setting. This event is open to all graduate students, postdocs, and alumni.
