Alt Ac Speaker Series: Alternative Academic Career Paths for PhDs
Did you know that a faculty position is but one of many possible career paths you could take with your PhD?
This speaker series explores a range of rewarding alternative academic (alt ac) career options within colleges and universities, including academic advising, administration, research support, and curriculum development. At each session, a speaker or panel of Stanford speakers will talk about their alt ac experience: their path from PhD to where they are today, what they do at Stanford, and their advice for current doctoral students on how to prepare themselves for a variety of career outcomes.
All talks take place from 12-1:15 in the Humanities Center Boardroom. Lunch will be served. RSVP here by the deadline below to ensure your space.
Sponsored by the Vice Provost for Graduate Education, the Career Development Center, the School of Humanities and Sciences, and the Humanities Center.
