Many doctoral students and postdocs enter their PhD program with the goal of becoming a university professor. But today’s academic job market is highly competitive, and a tenure-track role may not be the right fit for everyone. As a person's values, life circumstances, and career goals evolve, it is important to reassess what career paths align with those personal and professional needs.

Join the Beyond Prof team for this webinar to learn the key factors to consider when deciding if a faculty career is the right path. PhDs are building careers in a wide range of roles — both within and beyond academia — and understanding the options is an important first step.

This webinar is designed for doctoral students, PhDs, and postdocs from all academic disciplines who are wondering:

• How do I know if pursuing a faculty position is the right choice for me?
• How long should I stay on the academic job market?
• What are my options if I decide not to pursue a tenure-track path?

The webinar will be held via Zoom webinar and will be recorded. Advanced registration is required.
