Shishi Luo : Getting a job after your PhD (and you thought graduating was hard...) (Mar 29, 2013 4:25 PM)

According to the NSF Survey of Earned Doctorates, of the Mathematics PhDs earned in 2011, 37% had an offer for postdoctoral research, 33% had definite employment in either academic, government, or industry positions, and 28% were seeking employment/postdoc. This means that although 100% of you are doing research right now, most likely only a third of you will continue to do research in a university setting. That means (a) getting a postdoc will be competitive and/or (b) you need to familiarize yourself with non-postdoc opportunities. To help you in this process, we've assembled a panel of local experts who have recently been through the job application process: Christine Berkesch (research faculty), Emily Braley (teaching faculty), Liz Munch (postdoc and non-academic), as well as senior faculty who can talk about qualities that are sought in both university (Mike Reed) and government research (Bill Pardon) settings. Come and learn what you can do now and in the future to make your job search more successful!
