This book is a compilation of 31 interviews with individuals who have completed a PhD and are now working in non-academic positions. Interviewees provide insights into their PhD thesis and discuss the process of transitioning to their current role, including any additional training required and how their PhD training has contributed to their success.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn these interviews, two main non-academic career paths are explored: academic-adjacent careers, which utilize research expertise in industry, policy, and publishing; and skill-transfer careers, which apply transferable abilities such as critical thinking. It is important to recognize that obtaining a PhD does not necessarily mean pursuing a faculty career, opening up possibilities to leverage doctoral skills in impactful new contexts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe interviews in this book offer valuable perspectives and experiences from individuals who have navigated the transition from academia to non-academic roles. They provide insights into the skills and knowledge that are transferable between these two sectors and offer advice to current PhD students on how to prepare for and explore these career paths. Whether you are a current PhD student or considering a career change, this book will provide you with valuable information and inspiration to pursue your goals beyond academia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 635g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783031479793\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2024\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":45224308015354,"sku":"9783031479793","price":41.64,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1708684500733_book.jpg?v=1708718029","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/academia-and-the-world-beyond-volume-2-a-phd-is-not-a-commitment-to-academia-9783031479793","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
