As a PhD candidate, exploring career options can be an overwhelming challenge. You know about candidates who have found positions in universities, research institutes, governments, museums, and non-profit organizations and are inspired by their achievements. You would like to follow a similar path, but where do you start? In this roundtable, we will discuss possible career possibilities as a cultural historian and explore questions about orientation, job opportunities, and networking, such as: What can I do to increase my chances in getting a research position? What are my options outside of academia? How do I approach interesting employers? How can I use my research skills for non-academic purposes? And more broadly: How do I find a job that fits my qualities and needs? The roundtable will include former PhD candidates who now work both in- and outside of academia. Based on their experiences, they will share strategies and tips to help you take the next steps in your career.
