Ph.D. Connections Career Conference—Taming the Impostor: Navigating the Ph.D. to Professional Job Search

Embarking on the transition from Ph.D. student to professional can be daunting, often accompanied by the emergence of impostor thoughts and feelings. This session provides a space for participants to discuss and explore the complexities of this challenge openly. Through evidence-based strategies and collaborative dialogue, attendees will gain practical insights to effectively manage impostor experiences and confidently navigate the job search process.

Ph.D. Connections is a career conference designed to support doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows in their exploration of career paths beyond academia. Ph.D. students and postdoctoral fellows will learn about career opportunities beyond the professoriate through engaging sessions with Ph.D.s in diverse fields. The conference is co-sponsored by the University Career Center, Rackham Graduate School, and the Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies at the University of Michigan Medical School.
