Alternative Academic Careers: Free Melbourne Seminar

Everyone knows there are not enough academic jobs to go around for all the
well-qualified and enthusiastic candidates in the market. Whether this is
down to oversupply of PhDs or undersupply of jobs, the fact remains there

   -

   Accepting the reality of not getting an academic job.
   -

   Imagining who you could be outside of the university.

   -

   The pros and cons of going it alone.
   -

   Creating a roadmap to the alternative academic you.
   -

   The necessity of different forms of intellectual community.

This seminar is for the following people:

   -

   PhD researchers.
   -

   Early career academics in fixed-term positions.
