Presentation from Versatile PhD on 10/4

Paula Chambers, founder and CEO of the Versatile PhD, will present two interactive workshops on October 4, both focused on alternative careers for PhDs.

For Graduate Students

Dr. Chambers’s “From Skills to Results: Describing Your PhD Skills to Non-Academic Employers” will describe her own bumpy journey from graduate student to grant writer to business owner. She’ll talk about the current academic job market and demystify how to identify and articulate transferable skills. In the work shop graduate students will:

  • Learn where the PhD career pipeline really goes
  • Take inventory of the skills they’ve used in graduate school
  • Identify concrete results they’ve achieved with those skills
  • Learn how to describe those results in non-academic language
  • Discover new career resources at Ohio State

Tuesday, October 4, 2016
9:00 – 11:00am
Grand Lounge, The Ohio State Faculty Club
A light breakfast will be served.

The event is free and open to all, but space is limited.

WANTED: 2016-2017 Methodological Colloquium Presenters

Methodological Colloquium Announcement 2016Sent on behalf  of Dr. Gugiu:

 

Hi everyone. With fall fast approaching it is time to plan for this year’s Methodological Colloquium series. The last 2.5 years have been very successful. In total, there have been 50 presentations, which were attended by a total of over 200 distinct faculty, students, and staff. Let’s keep the ball rolling.

 

I am soliciting presenters for the 26 time slots available for this year’s colloquium series (see attached schedule). I am looking for faculty, graduate students, and research scientists who would like to present on a methodological topic of their interest. I am interested in presentations that focus on either qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods. Any innovative methods that you or your colleagues are working on would be of great interest to our group of attendees. If you are interested in presenting or would like to suggest the name of a presenter, please email Dr. Cristian Gugiu (gugiu.2@osu.edu).Methodological Colloquium Announcement 2016
