BlueSky Workshop: What Else is There? - Career Paths in and Outside Academia

Session Submission Type: Panel

Abstract

In times of tightening job markets for PhD’s, early-career scholars are increasingly considering career paths outside the university. Often these alternative paths are not discussed in PhD programs. This BlueSky Workshop gathers scholars with experiences both within and outside academia and presents their hands-on views on pro and cons of alternative career paths. The BlueSky Workshop is designed particularly for graduate students and early-career scholars that are exploring new possibilities for their future careers.
