Ph.D. Career Resources: Jobs and Funding
Although there are many on-line job sites, the
"General Sites" and "Discipline-
specific Sites"
below target Ph.D.'s looking for a variety of positions and funding.
These lists are by no means exhaustive: for example, check directly with
disciplinary societies, professional organizations, journals, trade
magazines, mentors, and career centers. The
"Useful Related Sites" aren't aimed at Ph.D.'s but include
sites that are among the most extensive currently on-line and are in
fields that might be of interest to Ph.D.'s. As most career counselors will attest, it’s best not to job
hunt solely through the internet but to use these resources in
combination with other job search strategies.
