Written by social science PhDs working in large corporations, non-profits, tech startups, and alt-academic positions in higher education, this book consists of more than a dozen chapters on various topics on finding rewarding careers outside the academy. Chapters are organized in three parts. Part I provides an introduction to the types of jobs available to social science PhDs, where those jobs can be found, and what the work looks like in those positions. Part II creates a guide for social science PhDs on how to set themselves up for such careers, including navigating the academic world of graduate school while contemplating non-academic options, and selling their academic experience in a non-academic setting. Part III offers perspectives on timelines for making non-academic career decisions, lifestyle differences between academia and non-academic jobs, and additional resources for those considering a non-academic route. Providing valuable insight on non-academic careers from those who have successfully made the transition, this volume will be an asset to graduate students, advisors, and recent PhDs, in quantitative social science. . 410 0$aTexts in Quantitative Political Analysis,$x2730-9622 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aSocial sciences$xStatistical methods 606 $aStatistics 606 $aMethodology of Political Science 606 $aStatistics in Social Sciences, Humanities, Law, Education, Behavorial Sciences, Public Policy 606 $aStatistics in Business, Management, Economics, Finance, Insurance 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aSocial sciences$xStatistical methods. 615 0$aStatistics. 615 14$aMethodology of Political Science. 615 24$aStatistics in Social Sciences, Humanities, Law, Education, Behavorial Sciences, Public Policy. 615 24$aStatistics in Business, Management, Economics, Finance, Insurance. 676 $a320.0721 676 $a300.23 702 $aJackson$b Natalie 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910739462203321 996 $aNon-academic careers for quantitative social scientists$93553485 997 $aUNINA
