‘Hard’ skills from PhDs remain relevant beyond academia
Kanban boards might not be familiar from academia — but plenty of other businesses processes will be.When we first started looking at non-academic career options after our PhDs in cognitive science, it seemed that it was our ‘soft’ skills that would transfer beyond academia to the ‘real world’ — things such as resilience, critical thinking, communication and collaboration.
This process became so much easier when we realized that it was just a mini grant application, renamed as a pitch or business case. ‘Outcomes and outputs’ become ‘deliverables’. The concept, and the need for a detailed, justified budget, is much the same. That doesn’t mean that analytics requires the experience of a bioinformatician or a computational scientist. But if you worked with data during your PhD, you will have developed transferable data skills. At times, we each spent weeks during our PhDs trying various data transformations, and learning and deploying statistical techniques to make sense of our experimental data.
