\nwhat is important to you in you professional career and where are you looking?<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em>although tenure-track positions at research intensive universities are often portrayed as the ideal destination for doctoral students seeking an academic career, findings from a recent survey (see here) suggest that contemporary doctoral students see parts of these “fast track” positions as incompatible with a healthy work-life balance. using the mason et al. study as a starting point, this cirtl coffee hour will discuss some of the\u00a0 tensions and trade-offs that doctoral students are facing. we will also examine how professional development programs like those in the cirtl network can give doctoral students knowledge and skills\u00a0 that make them more marketable for a range of academic careers.
