In
order to support doctoral students who are exploring and preparing for
careers beyond the professoriate, the Graduate School now has an
institutional subscription to the premium-content version of the website
The Versatile Ph.D.
Among
the materials available are insightful narratives into a wide range of
doctorate-friendly careers written by Ph.D.s in those careers; authentic
résumés and cover letters that got Ph.D.s their first post-academic
jobs, with detailed narratives describing the hiring process step by
step; and inspiring first-person stories by experienced post-academics
describing their career trajectories. The website also provides
networking opportunities for students to connect with successful
post-academic Ph.D.s.
Accessible
resources now include not only those aimed at students in the humanities and social
sciences, but the STEM disciplines as well.
