Job Placement

For a description of the ways in which the department assists graduate students seeking academic employment, see the final appendix, “Placement,” in the graduate student handbook.

Listed below are recent initial jobs obtained by our Ph.D.s. The positions listed include tenure-track and non-tenure-track positions, as well as positions outside of academia. The years listed are those in which the jobs were obtained, which are not always the same as those of graduation. In a few cases updates are added to the listings, but this is unsystematic, with no pretense of completeness.
