New publication from Lynn McAlpine and Cheryl Amundsen: "Post-PhD Career Trajectories: Intentions, Decision-Making and Life Aspirations"
Dr. Lynn McAlpine, Professor Emerita with the Department of Educational and Counselling Psychology, has co-authored the new publication聽Post-PhD Career Trajectories:聽Intentions, Decision-Making and Life Aspirations聽(Palgrave MacMillan).
"This book argues that post-PhD career planning should ideally begin at the same time as the PhD itself," states the. "Drawing from ten years of research and stories of close to 50 individuals, each chapter focuses on the stories of individuals who share common career intentions and how they negotiate these both before, during and after their studies. Each career trajectory is different as individuals planned and made decisions in the face of both expected and unexpected work, personal experiences and responsibilities. The book concludes with resources to help those who are currently planning or reflecting on their own career trajectories."
