PhD Pathways is a year-round events series that educates PhD students and postdocs from all disciplines about career pathways available beyond academia.
Panels typically include 3-4 speakers, often Stanford PhD alumni, who work in a particular industry sector or role. The panelists represent a variety of disciplines of origin. They work in different roles and for different employers. PhD Pathways panels are one way to explore the range of options open to PhD-holders like you.
We also offer a wide range of events related to work beyond academia, like skill-based labs and industry/alumni mixers. Check your weekly newsletter and Handshake for the schedule, and use the keyword "PhD" to search for events.
