A Bibliography of Resources for Recent Ph.D.s: Job Searching, Teaching, Writing, and Publishing

The GDR Office of Admissions and Placement has assembled this list of materials in order to provide a variety of perspectives on key professional concerns for recently graduated Ph.D.s. We hope to make a selection of them available on reserve in the Rose Memorial Library in the near future. Current students are encouraged to review these materials early in their program, and to begin preparing for work beyond Drew.
