Careers for PhDs: Grantseeking, Grantmaking, and Research Development
March 5 @ 2:00 pm - 3:15 pm
As a PhD student or postdoc, you’re aware that grants play a huge role in the infrastructure of academic research. So huge that a variety of rewarding careers exist to support this integral part of the research enterprise. In this panel discussion hosted by Syracuse University, you’ll hear from three PhD-holding professionals with experience working across the grants ecosystem: from helping academics and others find grant support through work for a consultancy or as a self-employed consultant; to facilitating grant awards for a foundation; to partnering with faculty grantseekers through research development work at a university. You’ll get candid insights on their working lives, how they leverage their doctoral training in their roles, and how you can further explore and prepare to pursue careers in these fields.
The panelists:
- Diana Brown(PhD, Religion, Syracuse), Project Manager, Abacus Grant Services
- Giovanna Urist(PhD, History, Syracuse), owner, Giovanna Urist Consulting
- Sarah Workman(PhD, English, UNC-Chapel Hill), Director of Research Development for Arts & Humanities, SU
