Graduates of our Ph.D. program typically continue in academia or transition to careers in technology, finance or higher education.
For those wishing to pursue an academic career, the next step after Ph.D. is to apply for “postdoc” positions in foreign (or, occasionally, other Israeli) institutions. Applications are usually made in the fall of the final year of Ph.D. studies. These positions are academic “internships”, in the course of which young researchers are expected to continue their professional development and conduct independent research. Ph.D. graduates may spend anywhere from two to six years (and sometimes more) in postdoc positions before seeking a permanent academic appointment.
It is important to remember that a Ph.D. degree does not guarantee an academic career. That said, our graduates have an excellent record in finding academic employment in the best universities.
Outside of academia, our graduates are in demand in technology, finance and economics. Some also choose careers in math education.
