Description:

If you are enjoying your doctoral journey, you might consider turning research and teaching into your profession in the future. However, you may not be entirely clear about what the academic job market looks like, the steps to transition from a doctoral student to a more stable academic role, or how to secure your next position.
 
This workshop aims to enhance your knowledge of academic pathways, providing you with concrete tools to plan the next steps in your academic career. More broadly, the course will teach you how to navigate professional fields and empower you to think strategically about your future professional development. Organized into three sessions of hands-on workshops alternating with independent work, the course will combine input from instructors, various techniques for information gathering, analysis and observation, and peer discussions to explore different dimensions of career management and planning.
 
As instructors, we will draw on our extensive experience as academic advisors, researchers, and mentors to support your professional development through guided steps and reflections. The workshop is open to early-career PhD researchers who want to plan their journey ahead, as well as those who simply want to explore academia as a potential career path.
