Researching the academic job market in your field

If you’re exploring career options, one factor to consider is the availability of academic jobs in your discipline and your competitiveness for those positions.

There is often limited public information available to doctoral students about the academic job market for their specific discipline and program. This lesson will help you research the academic job market in your field and figure out what the market looks like for YOU as a candidate.

While this research can be a challenging exercise for many PhDs, it’s an important step in helping you make an informed career decision about staying in academia or exploring non-academic career opportunities.

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

• How do I determine what faculty opportunities are available in my discipline or field of study?
• How do I determine my competitiveness in the field?
• If I decide to pursue an academic position, how do I best prepare?
