When

Sept. 16, 2026, 2 – 2:30 p.m.

Many PhD students begin their programs with career goals related to academia, but goals, values, and priorities can change over time. With a competitive academic job market and many career possibilities available to PhD students, it’s important to consider which path best aligns with your personal and professional goals.

You’ll learn how to:
• Evaluate whether a faculty position aligns with your goals and priorities
• Consider how long to remain on the academic job market
• Explore career options within and beyond academia
• Make informed decisions about your next career steps

Open to doctoral students and postdocs from all academic disciplines. All sessions will be held via Zoom and recorded. Advance registration is required.
