Job Placement
Academic Placement in Departments. The academic departments assist students in searching for academic employment, either through a designated faculty placement officer or individual faculty members. These departments also keep dossiers of their current students and recent graduate alumni on file.
Graduate Fellowship and Postdoctoral Opportunities. The Office of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, 111 Clio Hall, advises currently enrolled students about fellowship opportunities for graduate research abroad. The Office of the Associate Dean for Finance and Administration, 104 Clio Hall, maintains files of information about non-Princeton and postdoctoral fellowship opportunities.
Career Services. Career Services, 201 Nassau Street, assists graduate students with academic and nonacademic job searches. Counseling staff, including a dedicated graduate career counselor, are available for individual counseling, focusing on career decision making as well as developing effective strategies for the job search. Students have access to on-campus interviews with business, government, and other employers seeking advanced-degree candidates, as well as the annual career fairs, which include business, government, technology, and nonprofit employers. Mock interview sessions, résumé and curriculum vitae reviews, workshops and career panels, and presentations are all available. Students also have access to alumni through the Alumni Careers Network, a database of alumni who have volunteered to provide career-related advice and assistance to students and alumni.
Alumni Networking. Among other resources available to graduate students is the vast international network of Princeton graduates. Alumni of the Graduate School participate actively in career networking with students at symposiums on career paths for advanced-degree holders, as well as other events, and through electronic discussions and mentoring programs. Additionally, among its many activities, the Association of Princeton Graduate Alumni (APGA) strongly supports graduate students through sponsoring summer travel grants, teaching awards, and events to recognize distinguished students and alumni.
