Workshop overview

Curious about life beyond the PhD? Join us for an engaging session where two DTA PhD alumni share their career journeys—one into academia, the other into industry. Through candid reflections and practical advice, they will explore how their doctoral experiences shaped their paths, what their day-to-day roles look like now, and how current researchers can prepare for diverse career options.

Whether you are considering a postdoc, teaching role a role in the private sector, or still exploring possibilities, this session will offer valuable insights into:

• Navigating the transition from PhD to professional life

• Building skills and networks during your PhD

• Making informed choices about your next steps

Bring your questions and leave with clarity, inspiration, and strategies to shape your post-PhD future.
