Beyond the Professoriate Fall Watch Party Series: How to Use the PhD Career Training Platform in Your Job Search

Can’t make the live sessions? Come grab a snack and watch the recordings with us! Discussion to follow!

Starting a job search as a PhD can feel overwhelming — especially when most job searches take 6+ months to explore career options, build a network, and apply strategically to positions. Knowing where to begin makes a significant difference in how prepared and focused you are throughout the process.

So what can you do today to set yourself up for a successful job search?

In this webinar, you will learn how to make the most of the PhD Career Training Platform. Access to this platform means you have a research-informed toolkit designed specifically to support doctoral students and postdocs in both academic and nonacademic job searches — so you can move forward with a clear strategy from day one.

This webinar is designed for doctoral students, PhDs, and postdocs who are wondering:

How do I get started on the PhD Career Training Platform?

What resources are available to support my academic or nonacademic job search?

How long does a job search typically take, and what should I be doing right now?

Beyond the Professoriate, an e-learning platform available to all UMD doctoral students and postdocs, is hosting a series of live events throughout the fall semester. 

Light refreshments will be served. For access needs, accommodations and questions, please contact Dr. Kristyn Lue at kriselue@umd.edu.
