PodCast

Get to know your peers and get inspired!

Learning about the career interests, aspirations, uncertainties, and apprehensions of someone who's been where you are or where you’ve been can help you uncover or redesign your own path. It might even spark the idea of chasing a career you never thought possible.

Given the importance of acknowledging different career stories, we present to you the first season of UP Doctoral Careers’ Podcast - “Discovering My Careers” where you can explore and reflect on professional paths through the experience of different professionals holders of a PhD. In this first season, the PhD candidates have taken on the role of interviewers of their "idols" and of people with a PhD who they would like to get to know better. The questions asked and the way the conversation unfolds are the responsibility of the doctoral students in question!

We aim that hearing these career paths will encourage you to build and design yours, step by step. Tune in and uncover the insights our speakers have for you.

Available on Spotify and Youtube!

Make sure to mark your calendar! New episodes of our podcast series will be available on [Spotify e YouTube] monthly.

Would you also like to be the next interviewer or give suggestions for future seasons? Please contact us at: [email protected]. We look forward to receiving your ideas!

UP Doctoral Careers is an initiative stemming from the PhD Career Design project, initiated in 2021. It involved a technical team comprising members from various units within the University of Porto, including the Talent and Career Centre, Work Psychology Consulting Service, FEUPs Talent Unit, ICBAS Student Support, Employability and Alumni Office, I3S, and the Teaching and Learning Laboratory. Additionally, it was supported by the Portuguese funding "Skills for a Next Generation U.Porto" (Upskilling U.Porto) under POCH-I2-2022-01 Post Covid Competition - Skills for the Future in Higher Education”. Now, it is run by contributions from representatives of U.Porto's Organic Units, Research Centers, PhD candidates, holders, advisors, course directors, companies, and institutions. Furthermore, it is supported by the EUGLOH network and the DocTalent4EU project.
