About PhD Gigs
Connecting academics with businesses for consulting work, full-time positions, and graduate internships.
Full-Time Positions
Academics and other experts with advanced degrees can bring valuable expertise to businesses. But there is a stigma toward academics and experts looking for work beyond the ivory towers, so academics are hesitant to post on job boards and businesses have trouble finding specialized experts who are looking for work.
PhD Gigs allows academics to create anonymous and private profiles, giving businesses access to candidates who would not post on traditional job boards.
Consulting and Contract Work
Most universities have generous conflict of commitment policies that allow faculty to devote a portion of their time to consulting and contract work, but these opportunities are underutilized by academics and businesses.
PhD Gigs makes it easy for academics and businesses to connect for consulting and contract work.
Graduate Internships
Graduate student internships are valuable to both students and businesses. Grad students often end up in full time positions at companies they interned with. However, graduate students often struggle to find internships: Most PhD advisors lack industry contacts, and most internship platforms cater primarily to undergraduates. Likewise, businesses have difficulty finding graduate students with the right skills who are looking for internships.
PhD Gigs caters to internships for graduate students specifically.
