Paul Kofman

Australian Economic Review, 2025, vol. 58, issue 1, 48-52

Abstract: These notes reflect a panel discussion on the job markets for Australian PhDs on the occasion of the 2024 PhD Conference in Economics and Business. The author is grateful for the comments by Professor Ken Clements, moderator of the panel and cofounder of the PhD Conference start with a personal reflection on the job market for PhDs in Economics and Finance. We take a closer look at today's academic job market conditions and draw comparisons with the job market conditions in the corporate, public and not‐for‐profit sectors. We then consider the selection criteria adopted by the recruiters. Followed by advice on how to successfully navigate the academic job market, how to avoid common mistakes, and how to find the perfect match between a candidate and a recruiting school.
