Beyond the PhD

Welcome!

According to a report by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) called “Doctorate Recipients from U.S. Universities,” the percentage of new PhD recipients in the United States who reported having definite commitments for a faculty position at a U.S. institution immediately after graduation was around 38% in the most recent data available, which covers the year 2019. So where are the rest of the PhDs working?

This website is a free resource for undergraduate students, graduate students and postdocs that want to learn about careers in academia and beyond. We are a student-led group that aims to provide support for students that do not have access to programs on alternative careers in science.

Sign-up for our Friday digest to receive updates on upcoming Career Discovery Seminar series, career development workshops, our Ambassador Program, blog articles and more!

Send us a photo of you doing bench science or presenting research to be featured in our “Day in the Life” twitter campaign.

Let us help you find your career beyond the PhD.

About us

We were formed in 2018 by a University of Connecticut Biomedical Sciences PhD candidate and a postdoctoral fellow to provide resources for students on non-academic, industry, and academic positions within Biomedical Science. Transitions to virtual programming enabled us to create an online presence for all students interested in learning more about their career options.

We hope to see you at our next event!
