Want to become a PhD coach?

UT’s TCP Language Center is developing new intensive courses about academic publishing and presenting for PhD candidates. These boot camp courses start in August 2017 and TCP is currently searching for advanced PhD candidates, who would be interested in coaching first-year PhD candidates and earning 5 credits in the process.

‘In the past, TCP organized courses on academic publishing and presenting for small groups. However, the high interest for these courses led to long waiting lists and we were asked to reorganize our courses,’ explains Aline Valster from TCP. ‘Now we are developing three-day long intensive workshops for larger groups of about 80 PhD candidates. To make that happen, we need more teachers and that gives advanced PhD’s a unique opportunity to become coaches for these courses.’

Interested PhD researchers receive training and earn 5 credits. The Coaching Bootcamp is scheduled for the end of August 2017 and candidates can sign up now.
