Salon – Advise for Job Hunting after your PhD
August 20 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
This week’s Salon webinar brings us Dr Chloe Fawns-Ritchie and Ishita Virmani to share practical advice and personal experiences on job hunting after a PhD. Together, they explore how to navigate uncertainty, identify opportunities, and take confident next steps in dementia research. .
Finishing a PhD can feel like stepping off a cliff. For years, your path was defined by deadlines, supervisors, and a clear research focus. Then suddenly, it is up to you to decide what comes next. Job hunting after a PhD can be daunting. Where do you start? How do you stand out? And what if you are not sure what you want anymore? In dementia research, the options are wide but not always obvious. Today, we will explore practical advice for navigating this uncertain stage, making confident choices, and finding a role that fits your skills, values, and ambitions.
