Job Placement Record

Our department is highly competitive in terms of placing our graduate students. For data, see Aero Data Lab  https://www.aerodatalab.org/philosophy-graduate-placement , which builds on the results of the Academic Placement Data and Analysis project http://www.placementdata.com/about/.

This page contains only entry per person. Each person’s placement data ceases to be updated once he or she starts a tenure track job. The placement data below can be used to get a good sense of what percentage of those who enter our PhD program receive tenure track jobs; to use it in this way, you need to know that four students enter our program each year.
