Describtion:
The PhD thesis focuses on STEM PhD students' transition from university to the job market. Through a narrative-discursive analysis of interviews with PhD students, their career considerations are examined. The analysis provides a thorough insight into how PhD students navigate uncertainty and opportunities in their careers, and how it is far from a technically rational process. The thesis argues that research environments and PhD supervision must be more attentive and equipped to address and handle the complex interplay between emotional and cognitive aspects of PhD students' career decision-making.
