Sussing out career options Job Search

By Anonymous Hero
Posted Wed Mar 15, 2006 at 10:52:05 PM PDT
I'm doing a PhD in algebra at the moment. I love it, but am reaching a point where I will need to make some big career decisions soon - chief among these: *** emigrate or find a nonacademic job after I graduate? (since academic career options in my home city are a bit limited). It's a big decision, so I want to find out about non-academic career options before I decide. I'd really like to do something that helps solve or understand environmental problems, and I like research. But I really don't know if I could be helpful with the skills I have now. And I don't really know how to gather information. I've tried my campus career office, and found the universal response was: "um, why don't you be an actuary?". I don't think I want to be an actuary. Also, I do volunteer bushcare, and have met people who work in the environmental industry there, but they all seem to have environmental science degrees, which only contributes to my fear that I may be useless. I'd feel a little obnoxious calling up a related company to ask for advice about how I could be of use to them. Does anyone have any ideas about how I could find out more? Or am I following a pipe dream anyway?

Project NExT (New Experiences in Teaching) is soliciting a new group of fellows. If you're a new or recent Ph.D. you should definitely get involved. As someone once told me, it's like 20 years of networking all packed into one week.

The Search for Non-Academic Jobs Job Search

I know that the typical job for a mathematician is teaching/researching at the university level, which is awesome. This website has a lot to offer in advice on this subject, but I feel that there is very little information on jobs for mathematicians that are not academia.

Job Search Info on Chronicle and Beyond Job Search

The Chronicle of Higher Education online has a Job Seeking Experience forum here which answers questions (mostly about humanities realted searches but it contains some general good advice and does get non-humanities postings as well.)


An interesting offshoot of this board is the academic career wiki site which functions as a recently developed repository of advice and who has been heard from No math specific info up yet, but it is interesting to see what goes up and it looks like if anyone wanted to start a who has heard from who site for math (as discussed here last year) this would be the place to do it.
