After the PhD: UNIL portraits
Introduction
What are the different possibilities for a career after the doctorate? How does a professional path beyond academia happen, and how to make the transition? What skills developed during the doctorate are valuable for future employers? How to make it through the different stages of an academic career?
This series of portraits of UNIL doctorate holders intends to answer these questions. It is aimed at you, doctoral and postdoctoral researchers, who are considering the next steps in your professional life – in the academic world or beyond – and who wish to explore different career options after a doctorate.
Through these stories, UNIL doctorate holders share their experiences and advice, provide relevant information for how to prepare for after the thesis, and explain how they came to be in their current role.
