Placement

One of the aims of the graduate program in the Sage School is to help its students compete favorably in the academic job market. Each year a member of the senior faculty serves as Placement Director, whose role it is to oversee and guide students through the process of looking for jobs in philosophy. Among other things, the Placement Director assists each candidate's with the preparation of a CV, coordinates practice interviews and job talks, and is present to offer guidance and support at the Eastern Division meeting of the American Philosophical Association.
