OZSW Workshop: Career perspectives for Philosophy PhD students
1 October 2015
OZSW Workshop: Career perspectives for Philosophy PhD students
On October 1, the Leiden Institute for Philosophy in collaboration with the PhD Council organizes a gathering dedicated to the topic of employment opportunities for philosophy PhDs in the Netherland.
A PhD in philosophy is not an automatic guarantee for a job in Academia. Many philosophy PhDs find a career outside of the university. This raises all kinds of questions. How many of our PhDs leave Academia? Are they successful in their careers? What can PhDs do during their studies to prepare for a career outside of Academia? What useful skills does a doctorate in philosophy bring? What should supervisors do to prepare their PhD students? These and other questions will be discussed at this workshop. In addition, there will be practical sessions dedicated to what both PhDs and supervisors can do in practical terms to prepare students for a career outside of the profession.
