There are very few things a PhD student does more than write, so it should not be a surprise that there are many career opportunities for PhDs that involve writing. For those in the humanities, available positions may be more obvious; if your PhD is in Russian literature, there are few people better suited to serve as a translator of Russian literature.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
If your degree is in any of the science\/engineering fields, opportunities still abound (these writing opportunities go way beyond finally getting around to writing that novel that you\u2019ve been thinking about between experiments). <\/p>\r\n
Regardless of your specific degree program or dissertation topic, nearly all PhD programs instill a general ability to analyze a topic, conduct the appropriate research, and compose a linear and coherent summary or argument, which is the basis for almost all writing assignments across all disciplines.<\/p>\r\n

Your specific or technical expertise further bolsters your credentials as a communicator and translator of knowledge to peers and laymen alike.\u00a0 Depending on your background, your skills are needed in areas that include grant writing, tutoring, journal and magazine editing and publication, and scientific\/medical writing.<\/p>\r\n
