PHD Recipients & Placements

Alumni of our PhD Program

Graduates of our doctoral program find meaningful careers, both in and outside the academia. About two thirds of our PhDs over the past 10 years hold full-time academic positions in the US and internationally. In the US, our graduates have recently landed tenure track jobs at US Universities such as Tennessee-Knoxville and California-Fullerton as well as at private liberal arts colleges such as Arcadia and Providence College. Internationally, our alum have recently secured prestigious postdocs such as at Germany's Max-Planck Institute for Human Development and Turkey's Koc University and full-time academic appointments such as at Turkey's Ankara University and Hungary-based Central European University. For some, doctoral research becomes a springboard for investing in social and research initiatives through non-profits, or government agencies.
