Join us for a discussion focusing on how the core tools you learned in graduate school translate directly into high-impact roles and hear best practices on how to market yourself to non-academic employers. Navigating the non-academic job market as a political science graduate student or PhD requires a different approach than the academic job market. Panelists include: 

  • Moderator: Erika Arias, Syracuse University 
  • Analía Gómez Vidal, Founder & CEO, AGV Services LLC 
  • Adam Berinsky, Massachusetts Institute of Technology 
  • Amber Erin K Morris, Syracuse University
