This webpage is designed to provide graduate students, especially students in their latter years of study, with information regarding the job process.
Information is included on the key issues involved in searching for a job and delivering a job talk.
In addition, sample cover letters and curricula vitae are provided. Finally, the titles of recently completed dissertations are provided as are the new job locations of UCSD graduates. The Job Search Students typically place themselves on the job market in their fifth or sixth year of the graduate program. They typically place themselves on the market as soon as they have completed several chapters of their dissertation and are relatively confident that they can defend within the next six to twelve months. Students are strongly encouraged to try to have their dissertation completed by the time they officially begin their new employment.
