gurumaster8899 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Is it possible to work on your Phd thesis while working in industry....like working in an R&D lab while working for you thesis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noojens Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Yeah, it's possible. For example, people occasionally complete the last few years of their PhD (the research component) working at a place like IBM Watson Lab. It's not super common though, and it requires either you or your advisor having strong connections to a company that performs basic research (of which there are few).

twocosmicfish Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 It is certainly possible - I have two guys sitting near me who are doing that very thing! You just have to negotiate the conflicts between your academic and job responsibilities. For our guys it is not uncommon for them to take a year off from work towards the end to nail down their research, but some work through either full or part-time.
