PhD Pathways

Are you a biosciences student or postdoc looking for a faculty job? Learn from @StanfordBEAM's panel feat. current PhDs & Postdocs who have found faculty positions this year. Ask questions and learn from their experiences! Tues 6/4 @ 4:30PM Register: stanford.io/2VqhI0x

Do what you can to broaden your scope, whether that’s internships, podcasts, publications—anything that can provide context for your PhD.

From the Data Science panel: ringing endorsement of the Insight Data Science Fellows Program as a way to transition from academia to data science. @InsightFellows #phdpathways #careereducation #datascience

Also important: communications skills, not only as a speaker, but also as a listener!

@danielleharlan Thanks for* :)

@danielleharlan Thanks got starting us out on such a great foot! And what an inspiring trajectory!

8 years ago, I was a wide-eyed grad student at the #PhDPathways conference at Stanford and today I gave the opening keynote for that event. The universe is weird and awesome and hilarious sometimes ;p #StanfordBeam #ThanksForHavingMe

Wisdom from the Communications, Writing, & Editing panel: “Most of us have imposter syndrome. Never look at a job and say, ‘Oh I could never do that.’ “ #phdpathways #careereducation

More insight from #phdpathways: remember to take advantage of Stanford’s resources and network while you’re here!

Insight from the Galleries, Libraries, Archives, & Museums panel: self-reflection about your goals and passions during the PhD can be difficult, but is crucial to finding career fulfillment. #phdpathways

@danielleharlan kicking off PhD Pathways with a fantastic keynote speech!

Terrific tips for organizing Information and Your Time during the job search. My faves: batch your time to keep from switching gears too often, and Keep track of how you spend time and reassess periodically. From @bookmobility via @insidehighered ihenow.com/2TUpW50

A few more tickets will be made available on Monday, March 25 at noon. Otherwise, we are sold out.

We’re 2.5 weeks away from PhD Pathways 2019 and nearly sold out. Get your ticket before they’re gone! beam.stanford.edu/students/phds-…

Perceptions need to shift from "PhD = knows a lot about one thing" to "PhD = committed to life-long learning." Employers often overlook the fact #PhDs are usually dedicated to learning all sorts of new things - & learning fast! #BeyondProf #PhDchat #altac

Let’s make diverse careers for PhDs Visible, Valued and Viable. So proud to be part of the team with @ERMillerPhD & @SciPolGuy through @AAUniversities and with support of my employer @StanfordBEAM

Phone interview tip. Put post it notes with key ideas you want to convey on the wall. And notes to yourself like “Slow Down!” Standing while talking gives you more energy and allows you to gesture. Here it is in action!

Another productive meeting yesterday as the clock keeps ticking down to PhD Pathways 2019!

You are NOT ALONE in the things that you feel - with regard to grad school, your PhD, your career prospects, or your confusion over what to do next. The PhD can be so isolating - life after it does NOT have to be that way. #gradschool #withaPhD #phdadvice

@danielleharlan @Stanford And we’re super dupes excited to have you, @danielleharlan!

Super dupes excited to be keynoting the @Stanford @PhDPathways conference on April 5!

“You never know what skills you will leverage later in your career.” “There are very interesting people doing very interesting work.” Said a European Historian now working in banking. Eyes & minds blown open. This is what I love about @BeyondAcademia @PhDPathways #BeyondAc19
