What is the role of a PhD advisor after a student has graduated?


It seems from answers to certain questions (such as Should a mid-career faculty application include a letter from the former PhD advisor?) that the role of an advisor may continue after a student has graduated.


In general, what is the role of a PhD advisor after a student has graduated? Is it limited to recommendation-letter-writing? Is a letter from them a must for tenure-track job applications? Tenure applications? Does this change when considering research-focused vs teaching-focused jobs? Industry jobs?




I've seen this question: What is exactly the role of a phd advisor? which is related, but focuses on the role of an advisor during graduate school.


Here are some other related (but not duplicates as far as I can tell) questions:


How to handle not having my PhD advisor as a reference?


When should you stop asking your PhD advisor to do advisor like things?
