About this book
A rich resource with insightful information and guidance for PhD holders considering a career in international affairs
Whether out of choice or necessity, many people with doctorates pursue careers outside the academic world. Foreign Policy Careers for PhDs provides a wealth of information, advice, and encouragement to PhD holders who are considering a career in foreign policy. James Goldgeier and Tamara Cofman Wittes draw on their own experiences and present inspiring interviews with over two dozen practitioners who successfully made the transition to policy work.
Foreign Policy Careers for PhDs reveals the wide array of public, nonprofit, and private-sector organizations that hire PhD holders. This book serves as a compass for job seekers as they navigate the policy community, think about the opportunities that would be right for them, and present themselves as attractive candidates. The book concludes with appendixes that list employers, fellowships, networking groups, and more.
Foreign Policy Careers for PhDs is essential reading for people who are exploring career possibilities and a unique resource for academic advisers and career counselors.
