The PhD job search can be a confusing process for a variety of reasons. The doctoral graduation timeline is often unclear and may not be fully within your control. For industry positions, your mentors in academia may be unfamiliar with non-academic norms and expectations, but there are tools and resources that can help you prepare for this process and develop a plan of action.

Job Search Timeline

General peak PhD recruitment timelines for different fields and positions assuming June graduation . Keep in mind, these are approximations; timelines vary considerably by field.

When should I start my job search? What if I missed peak recruitment times?

The job search varies widely in process, norms, and expectations. It is never too early to research your interest areas by searching online, attending events, and initiating informal career conversations. Even if you missed the peak recruiting season for your field, you can continue to inquire about opportunities through networking and online job search websites.

What if I am graduating in December?

Keep in mind that the start date of a position can often be negotiated. Also, the needs of employers vary so positions can open or start on a more flexible timeline.

Six Steps to Finding a Job after the PhD

Even though you think that the rest of your life will consist of the lab and your computer, there will be a day when you “come out.”  The day when you finally get your PhD, and then take your next step in life .

You might cringe when I mention “the next step in your life.” You might start giving me an entire list of excuses why you really don’t have the time and energy to start thinking of life after the PhD while you are still engrossed in your PhD. But unless you have a tree that grows money in your garden, you will need to find something that pays the bills once you finish your research and your scholarship runs out. A job.

Today’s article will not tell you to start sending your resume to 300 companies while you try to finish up your dissertation. The final months of the PhD can be incredibly messy with looking for a job, moving to a different place, often a different country, and then trying to finish the dissertation and defense. I’m in the very middle of all that myself  and can tell you that the final months of a PhD don’t allow much time for a big job hunt.

Before you actually reach those final months, there are many actions you can undertake to grow your network, so that your job search becomes easier once you are reaching the final months of grad life. I’ve outlined a simple plan with six steps that you can take from the very start of your PhD to transition into a job right after graduation.

1. Reflect on what you want

A PhD doesn’t automatically mean that you will stay in academia for the rest of your life. In fact, many graduate students wouldn’t  be happy staying in academia for the rest of their lives, and are anxious to roll up their sleeves and get a more hands-on job in industry.

Reflection is key. Spend some time  analyzing your strengths  and imagining what your ideal job would be like. Then, use your research as a leverage to work towards your ideal position. Your PhD research can be an incredible tool to grow your skills. You can learn new coding languages, delve into more theoretical work, or prepare to transition to industry.

Regardless of where you imagine yourself in three to five years from now, just realize that your PhD research gives you many more skills than “just” becoming an independent researcher. All these skills, along with your communication skills and the strong work ethic of graduate school, are additional elements you can later show to a prospective employer as benefits that come with hiring a (maybe overqualified) PhD.

2. Present at conferences

Get your face out there, show your work, and meet people. Conferences are a very important way to grow your network,  and the majority of jobs are still found through using your network, rather than simply reacting to a job opening at company X or university Y.

Similarly, use conferences to get an overview of what is possible after your PhD. Try to find conferences that combine research from academia with cases from industry and that come with a large exhibition hall. At the exhibition hall, you can learn about companies that might be interested in hiring new employees, even though their primary goal might be to sell their product or services.

3. Attend industry events

Again, get active, talk to people, and get your face out there. The benefit of attending industry events and becoming involved is broader than making sure people start to know you. It also helps you to explore what is out there in industry. You can get to know the different companies and get a feeling for their company culture. Would you “fit in” at that company? Do their projects look attractive to you to work on? Use your involvement in these events to get a taste of the world out there – sniff around and see what could be suitable for you.

4. Personal branding: offline and online

Personal branding is a fashionable term, and you might think that it is only for designers and the flashy men and women from the advertisement industry. In academia, we can rethink branding as having a clear statement on who we are and what we are good at. It’s about having a consistent image of ourselves—online and offline—and carrying that out into the world. It’s not about pretending you’re someone else, it’s not about compromising on authenticity , and it’s not about vanity or praising yourself either. It’s simply about your very professional essence and being okay with sharing that image with the world.

Once you have completed Step 1, and reflected on what your strengths are, and how you envision yourself in the future, you can use this information to show the world how you can help in situation Y because you are very good at doing Z. You can get active (Steps 2 and 3) in international organizations by volunteering to do something you are good at. You can build a digital footprint by using a blog or social networks to share what you’ve learned in your research, connect to like-minded people, and make your professional image and statements Google-able.

5. Cherish your network

Don’t build a network just for the sake of having contacts with certain people for whenever you need a job. Cherishing your network is about getting back in touch with people every now and then, about keeping good ties to your former classmates and rekindling the connection with professors from previous institutions because you are grateful for the people who helped you learn and grow over the years. And from these contacts, people who you truly enjoy being around, fruitful collaborations can grow. You can imagine that it can be very rewarding to be able to work later on with people with whom you have a very good relationship.

6. Let people know you will be available

Once you are nearing your final semesters, or your thesis starts to grow steadily towards it first draft version, don’t get too secretive about it. It can be hard to really tell people that you think you will be finished six months from now, if all goes well, as that might add pressure, but trust yourself. Something can always go wrong, but there’s no need to live life assuming all possible doom scenarios. Share the message that you are wrapping up your work. Write to people in your network to let them know when you will be defending, invite them for the day itself or send them a copy of your dissertation. Share  how your progress is going on your online networks. Share on LinkedIn that you have a few more weeks to finish your first dissertation draft. Share your updates on Twitter – get the word out that you are coming out soon! You might get some reactions completely out of the blue from people asking you if you’re interested in  learning about possibilities at their firm .

Have you started thinking about life after the PhD? Have you incorporated some of these ideas into your daily research life? Please share your thoughts with us!

• Working in Germany: How To Find Work During and After Your Studies

Written by Taru Medha

With one of the fastest growing economies in Europe (and one of the lowest unemployment rates), it’s clear that Germany has an active job market with opportunities for everyone.

Whether you’re a postgraduate student in Germany looking for a casual job or a recent graduate looking to start full-time work, we’ve got you covered.

We’ve detailed everything you need to know about working in Germany, during or after your studies, including the kinds of jobs you can do, how to search for them and any restrictions that might apply to you.

Working while studying

Most students in Germany take up part-time work during their studies. Even though a postgraduate course in Germany is more affordable since tuition is (usually) free , a part-time job is a good way to cover your living costs.

How much can you work?

The German Federal Employment Agency has put in place a few restrictions for students looking for part time work. This is mainly to make sure that your work doesn’t hinder or delay your academic goals. What restrictions apply to you depends on your nationality:

• Students from EU/EEA: European students have unrestricted access to the job market and have the same rights as German students. You will, however, need to make the required insurance contributions if you work more than 20 hours a week. Even though there are no restrictions, you must not let your work impact or delay your academic goals.
• Students from other countries: Part-time work is capped at 140 full days or 280 half days in a year (without special consent from the Federal Employment Agency). If you need to work more than the allowed quota, you have to take permission from the Federal Employment Agency and the Foreigner’s Office.

What kind of work can you do?

Students in Germany can take up both on-campus or off-campus jobs while they study. Some of the most common ones are working as wait-staff, babysitters, or tutors. Even though these seem like the most obvious choices and are easy to secure, you also have a few other options.

Academic assistants

As an academic assistant, you’ll be working for an institute of higher education. This could be the university you’re studying at, but academic assistants work in university archives, libraries or in administration. Students can also work for academic staff at these institutions and are often called Hiwi’s or graduate assistants.

PhD students can also think about securing a job as a research assistant at universities or independent research institutions.

There is no limit to the number of hours you can work as an academic assistant, however, if you’re an international student, you will still have to inform the Foreigner’s Office about your working hours. You should bear in mind that working too much can have a negative impact on your studies.

Internships

Students are often keen to gain work experience while they study so they have a foundation to build on when they start looking for jobs after graduation. An internship is a good place to begin. You can work as an intern while you study even if you are an international student. However, an internship (whether paid or unpaid) is considered normal work and will be deducted from your work-day allowance.

How can you search for a job?

Your first port of call should be your university’s student services which are likely to have job vacancy listings on their websites or on notice boards around campus. They will also have information about any academic assistant jobs that might be available at your university.

If you’re looking for one of the off-campus jobs like waiting tables or working at bars, you can find such jobs listed on online job portals like LinkedIn, Make it in Germany job listings or the Federal Employment Agency job board .

Working after your studies

If you’ve just completed a postgraduate course in Germany, you may be thinking about entering the job market and settling down in the country. Germany has a lot to offer anyone looking for a job, with engineers, scientists and sustainability experts already in high demand.

However, depending on which country you are from, there might be some restrictions and considerations that you might want to keep in mind.

If you’re from EU/EEA

You have open access to everything the German job market has to offer, and you have the same rights as a German citizen. This means you can stay in the country to find and continue work for as long as you like.

If you’re from other countries

If you’re an international student who has just completed their postgraduate degree, you can apply for an 18-month permit which allows you to stay and look for work. However, you have to provide proof that you are in the process of finding work in your field of expertise and have the means to fund yourself in the meantime.

If you’re successful in securing a job in this time, you can then apply for a residence permit for the purpose of qualified work. Once you’ve been employed for some time and meet certain criteria, you can apply for a settlement status which gives you indefinite leave to stay and a citizenship after eight years.

You also have the option to apply for an EU Blue Card if you meet certain requirements. You must have completed a degree in Germany (or have a comparable degree) and have a binding employment contract. You must also earn at least €58,400 or €45,552 if you’re employed in STEM.

There is plenty of support available from your university’s career centre. Along with having job listings on their website, they can help you with any other concerns as your transition from a student to a working professional.

You can also visit the Federal Employment Agency online job portal or other online job listing websites like Make it in Germany or LinkedIn which is popular worldwide

Now that you know everything about finding a job in Germany, it is time to make a list of all the things you want to experience and spend your salary on while you’re in Germany, whether as a student or a working professional!
