Beyond the Professoriate: The Career Conference for PhDs is for graduate students and recent PhDs from STEM, social sciences, and humanities disciplines. During this two-day online event, attendees will hear from doctoral-degree holders who successfully transitioned to work beyond the professoriate and learn job search strategies from career education professionals. Brought to you by Jennifer Polk (From PhD to Life) and Maren Wood (Lilli Research Group). For information about the 2017 conference, join our mailing list.
NEW! 10 Week Group Coaching for Going Beyond the Professoriate. Fall 2016 we’re launching a new, 10-week program for PhDs and graduate students who are preparing, or actively searching, for new careers beyond the professoriate. The group will combine the expertise of:

Format: Each group will include up to 10 PhD or graduate student job seekers from across North America. Sessions will include group coaching, workshop components, Q&A, and discussion, as appropriate.
