Open access paper discussing postgraduate employment in the UK of only 21%
Graphic showing statistic that 21% of PhD graduates enter academic teaching roles, with the statement “Alt-Ac is impact, not failure.” Source: Prospects / HESA Graduate Outcomes data.
Only ~20% of PhD graduates secure academic roles. Alt-Ac is NOT failure. It is impact beyond the ivory tower. Doctoral skills translate into policy, industry, environment, tech, and society. Knowledge should move anyway, not remain siloed.

I get it. I really do. Have so many friends that have already or are in the process of an #altac career. All of them are happy with the choice. $ matters. Time with family matters. Time for yourself or hobbies matters.

Are you interested in having an archivist in the Office of the Historian talk to your class or grad student group about #altAc careers and/or #FRUS? Email history@state.gov and ask to be connected with Amanda Ross! We'll discuss your needs and I'll wrangle my other colleagues as appropriate :)

Somewhere, I took the tenure and the house on the hill. 🏛️
But here, I asked a question and maybe that’s the better life. ⚖️

I love working in #AltAc, and so much of that is because of these collaborative partnerships. Informal conversations over lunch lead to research questions. Shared office spaces lead to collaborative data collection. We naturally collect mixed-methods data, and our work has impact in real time.
