The PHutures Higher Ed Fellowship, a joint initiative between the Krieger School of Arts & Sciences and Whiting School of Engineering’s Office of Graduate & Postdoctoral Affairs, offers practical experience in an influential doctoral career development office.

Aimed at JHU doctoral students, the program offers a dynamic opportunity to support peers and shape the future of education.

Fellows undertake varying roles, from project-based tasks to long-term responsibilities, fostering diverse skills under the mentorship of seasoned university staff. By leveraging existing skills and nurturing new ones, our fellows grow both professionally and personally.

Core competencies are the foundational skills and capabilities that are essential for individuals to thrive in their respective fields. These competencies represent a combination of knowledge, expertise, and personal attributes that enable individuals to perform at their best, contribute effectively, and adapt to evolving challenges.

At PHutures, we recognize the significance of core competencies in shaping successful careers. Our fellowship program provides a comprehensive framework for developing and honing these essential skills, empowering our participants to become well-rounded professionals equipped to make a meaningful impact in their chosen domains.
