But many students are too focused on the PhD itself and have not yet had a chance to sufficiently think about post-PhD life. This book is a collection of 31 interviews with those who have completed a PhD and are now in a non-academic role. Interviewees provide background into their PhD topic and discuss how they transitioned to their current position, including what additional training was necessary and how their PhD training has helped them succeed. In these interviews, two broad non-academic career paths are explored: academic-adjacent careers use research expertise through industry, policy, and publishing; and skill-transfer careers, applying transferable abilities like critical thinking. Recognising a PhD need not lead to a faculty career opens possibilities to leverage doctoral skills in impactful new contexts. 606 $aPsychology 606 $aCognitive psychology 606 $aSocial psychology 606 $aBehavioral Sciences and Psychology 606 $aCognitive Psychology 606 $aSocial Psychology 606 $aTítols acadèmics$2thub 606 $aPsicologia cognitiva$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aPsychology. 615 0$aCognitive psychology. 615 0$aSocial psychology. 615 14$aBehavioral Sciences and Psychology. 615 24$aCognitive Psychology. 615 24$aSocial Psychology. 615 7$aTítols acadèmics 615 7$aPsicologia cognitiva 676 $a946.005 702 $aMadan$b Christopher R. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910835060403321 996 $aAcademia and the World Beyond, Volume 2$94247935 997 $aUNINA
