在1994至1996年间，每年都有超过7000人获得生命科学博士学位，而且毕业生人数正在急剧上升。如果目前的趋势继续下去，这些毕业生中约有一半将在毕业后十年内找到独立研究人员的永久职位。这些统计数据--以及它们所反映的劳动力市场状况--可以被正面或负面地看待，这取决于一个人是一个寻求职业生涯的年轻科学家，还是一个生产率依赖于大量研究生提供的劳动力的知名研究员。这本书审查了有关生命科学博士学位产生的数据和毕业生获得的职位种类的变化。报告讨论了这些变化的影响，并提出了应对生命科学博士毕业生供需挑战的方法。科学家早期职业生涯的趋势将作为年轻科学家决定职业道路的信息来源，并作为教育工作者和政策制定者讨论的基础，他们审查与研究相关的当前教育体系，并决定是否需要对该体系进行改革。
In each year between 1994 and 1996, more than 7,000 individuals received a Ph.D. in life-science, and the number of graduates is rising sharply. If present trends continue, about half of those graduates will have found permanent positions as independent researchers within ten years after graduation. These statistics--and the labor market situation they reflect--can be viewed either positively or negatively depending on whether one is a young scientist seeking a career or an established investigator whose productivity depends on the labor provided by an abundant number of graduate students. This book examines the data concerning the production of doctorates in life-science and the changes in the kinds of positions graduates have obtained. It discusses the impact of those changes and suggests ways to deal with the challenges of supply versus demand for life-science Ph.D. graduates. Trends in the Early Careers of Life Scientists will serve as an information resource for young scientists deciding on career paths and as a basis for discussion by educators and policymakers as they examine the current system of education linked to research and decide if changes in that system are needed.
