Thesis Whisperer Guest Lecture: Beyond Plan B, Planning a post-PhD career in an age of uncertainty
Over 60% of research degree graduates exit academia on completion of their degree. The majority of the graduates who stay may face a future of insecure work and time-limited contracts. What can you do now to prepare yourself for your future career? What options are available to you and how should you go about the job search? More importantly, how are you going to make a living out of your research skills now and into the future, while facing a changing sector? In this lecture, Associate professor Inger Mewburn, aka The Thesis Whisperer outlines the research showing the demand for researchers outside the academy and helps you to think about how you can plan, now, for your future career - whatever it might be.
