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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis 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. \u003ci\u003eTrends in the Early Careers of Life Scientists\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e National Research Council,Division on Earth and Life Studies,Commission on Life Sciences\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0309061806\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780309061803\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.83h x 8.43w x 0.50d","brand":"National Research Council","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48064822837503,"sku":"9780309061803","price":57.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7cba4b08-1695-474c-8135-c616127fc44b.jpg?v=1768671265","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/trends-in-the-early-careers-national-research-council-9780309061803","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
