How to Make Your Ph D Work
A modern guide for a challenging modern Ph D market
The job market for Ph Ds in science and engineering has become immensely more challenging in the last decade. As of 2022, less than 5% of Ph Ds attain permanent academic positions, yet books about navigating Ph D programs continue to treat permanent academic employment as the assumed norm. Today’s Ph Ds need tools not only for completing their programs successfully, but for positioning themselves in a varied and competitive job market.
How to Make Your Ph D Work meets this need, with concrete, empowering advice that takes account of modern job market challenges and opportunities. It cuts through widespread misconceptions about STEM careers and funding, offers tips for navigating difficult degree programs, and supplies current or prospective Ph Ds with the tools to radically transform their post-degree career prospects.
How to Make Your Ph D Work readers will also find:
* Detailed discussion of topics including postdoctoral fellowships, nonacademic careers, success in industry, and more
* Twelve stories from Ph D students who talk about their relationship with their advisor, their success with their project, and their transition into their careers
* Worksheets and case studies designed to help Ph Ds map out potential career paths
* An author with extensive experience of the nonacademic job market and a real understanding of the challenges STEM Ph Ds face
How to Make Your Ph D Work is ideal for any STEM Ph D student, prospective student, or early career researcher looking to improve their positions in the job market.
