Beyond the Professoriate Webinar: Building a Network to Help You in Academia & Beyond

Register

Networking is one of the most overlooked skills in a PhD job search. It is often seen as awkward, transactional, or evidence of “nepotism.” But in practice, networking is how academics AND professionals build community.

It is through community that academics and professionals find mentors, learn from others in their field, and stay informed about opportunities and areas of growth. Networking is also standard practice outside of academia, and an essential part of an effective job search — academic or nonacademic. The earlier you start building your network, the more it will work in your favor when opportunities arise.

Join the Beyond Prof team for this webinar where we’ll walk you through how to build and grow a network that supports your career goals, whether you are exploring careers in academia or beyond.

This webinar is designed for doctoral students, PhDs, and postdocs from all academic disciplines who are wondering:

How can networking help me in an academic or nonacademic job search?
Where do I find people to connect with?
How do I start if I have never done anything like this before?
The webinar will be held via Zoom webinar and will be recorded. Advanced registration is required. Register on Zoom: https://institutions.beyondprof.com/network-in-academia-and-beyond/
