My recent guest on the podcast was Emmanuel Tsekleves, an academic, who has specialized in helping PhDs stay in academia.
More and more people talk about alternative job routes, simply because staying in academia becomes less likely every year.
But some people’s dream is an academic path. Emmanuel tries to help those people land jobs.
We talked about academic interviews, things you can do during your Ph.D. to maximize your chances of staying in academia, improving productivity, and more.
