how to get job in usa after phd

Hello,

The career options after the completion of PhD specifically
would depend on the specialization undertaken. Kindly be specific with the program, since PhD is offered in a particular specialization.

The research PhD program prepares a person for a career as a teacher, researcher, and scholar, which may or may not include a clinical component.
The structure of a PhD degree program is centered on preparation of individuals for careers in research,teaching, and other scholarly activities. Thus, when practicing clinicians decide to pursue a PhD, they may appropriately view the degree as a career change, from a focus primarily or solely on clinical activities to a focus on teaching, research, and other scholarly activities. For some academics, clinical teaching and clinical services are a component of their job, but other teaching, research, and scholarly activities are critical components of their professional activities.



Ph.D candidates are considered part of the university staff, and that Ph.D openings are treated as job vacancies. Universities will maybe have one or two Ph.D vacancies throughout a given year (if they have the funding for it). Because European schools receive a large part of their funding through government grants and subsidies, the school has to apply for a grant in order to even have a Ph.D vacancy.

In the U.S., Ph.D candidates are also part of the university staff, joining as a teaching assistant, research assistant, or adjunct instructor.
Yet, as a Ph.D candidate in the U.S., youre primarily a student who is enrolled to meet the universitys requirements (sometimes set by the state) for the doctoral degree. In order to fill the various graduate courses (while also filling the teaching assistant positions), university departments will have openings for Ph.Ds every year.
