The Database of career stories (DoCS) is a resource for postgraduate researchers, research staff and researcher developers to inform career decisions and career planning. The database provides access to the career stories of hundreds of people with a doctorate or research background illustrating the range and variety of careers that people with a research training go on to do and demonstrating the wider impact of research careers on society/the economy.
To enrich and expand the resource we encourage you to upload your own career story or collection of stories to the database. Log into the Vitae website and select either ‘My career story' or ‘My career story projects' from the dashboard (top left of screen).
Please also view career story projects.
