New careers website for Arts & Humanities PhD students

Beyond the PhD is a website designed for arts & humanities PhD students who are starting to think about where life after their PhD will take them. It was developed by people with arts & humanities PhDs together with career professionals, and it brings together a huge range of personal experiences from people from different backgrounds, ages and stages of life who have been through a PhD in an arts and humanities discipline and made the transition into a variety of work beyond it. The site consists of audio & video clips of people talking about their experiences, together with videos of group discussions on a variety of topics and articles relevant to PhD researchers.

I think this could be a very useful resource for PhD students, even non arts & humanities, who are thinking about career options and want to find out more about what's out there. The fact that this site contains such personal perspectives on finding your niche after the PhD makes it all the more interesting.

I have put a link to this site in the Links section of the sidebar, to make it easy to find.
