If you’re exploring career options, one factor to consider is the availability of academic jobs in your discipline and your competitiveness for those positions.
There is often limited public information available to doctoral students about the academic job market for their specific discipline and program. This lesson will help you research the academic job market in your field and figure out what the market looks like for YOU as a candidate.
While this research can be a challenging exercise for many PhDs, it’s an important step in making an informed career decision about staying in academia or exploring non-academic career opportunities.
Tune in to Beyond the Professoriate‘s “How to Research the Academic Job Market” webinar on June 3, from 12-12:45 p.m. ET if you are a doctoral student, PhD, or postdoc from all academic disciplines and are wondering:
- How do I determine what faculty opportunities are available in my discipline or field of study?
- How do I determine my competitiveness in the field?
- If I decide to pursue an academic position, how do I best prepare?
