life post PhD
User: charly - 27 February 2017 23:03
Hello everybody!
Finished my PhD and right now settling down on real life. During my viva there was a lot of discussion about the potential of my PhD for further research and publication and my examiners really encouraged me to give continuity to my research. And actually that's what I want to do, to be a researcher. I'm looking for post-docs and assistant researcher positions, hopefully in the uk or europe.
I know is going to be hard, especially in the field of arts. I am also looking for teaching positions but is quite disheartening... I don't have experience in teaching, as my phd was full time with a lot of bumps in the road, so did not had the opportunity to get a teaching job.
I'm about to do a teaching training in a couple of weeks, but still don't know what else can I do. I'm going through a lot website and platforms like jobs.ac.uk, but I was wondering if someone had a good piece of advice in job hunting after your PhD or knows any useful platform that could help to find an academic job.
Many thanks in advance

Yep, the best advice is to keep applying... It's a numbers game. Once you're getting interviews, keep refining your applications and interview techniques until you get a job. Just stick to jobs.ac.uk - it seems to have all academic jobs on there anyway.
