Throughout the year, our events provide a variety of ways to engage with communities at Stanford. Career fairs, labs, multi-week programs, conferences, and other events create a full calendar of opportunities for PhD students and Postdocs. Examples of these events are listed below.
Networking events bring PhD alumni and employers to campus to meet students in a more casual environment. Career Panels host alumni who work in a specific industry or sector to share personal stories and insights, and open up the opportunity for students to ask questions.
These multi-week programs and courses on campus led by our PhD Career Educators allow for deeper engagement with career-related material. Examples are Jumpstart Your Academic Job Search, Designing the Professional, and the Management Consulting Preparation Program.
Starting this year, the PhD & Postdoc Career Communities team will host PhD Pathways, a day-long Career Education Conference for PhD students and Postdocs on Friday January 29, 2016. The conference will host a variety of panels with professionals from a range of sectors. Attendees will learn about various career opportunities that exist for PhDs, hear personal stories of career successes, and have the opportunity to network with panelists and each other. More information about PhD Pathways can be found on the conference website.
