As a fourth year doctoral candidate, in addition to having completed comprehensive examinations and prospectus and working on the dissertation, my thoughts are also turning towards the job market and securing that first academic position. This purpose of this blog is to chronicle the trials and tribulations of completing my Ph.D. and finding that first job.

Quick Note

Just a quick note to say that I submitted my prospectus about two weeks ago and two days ago successfully defended it. I hope to have more to say about both, as we get a bit of a break for the holiday season, but until then understand that this has been the reason why I have neglected this blog so much this past semester.
