My dears, it's Nature official: your adviser had it easier than you.
New statistics on new professorship job openings versus new Ph.D.s. What are your career plans in light of this? http://www.nat…
Sad... but yes, that's reality :)
New faculty positions versus new PhDs. The PhDs have to consider seriously to create their Startup :) http://www.nature.com/nb…
oh yes

Mirad esta gráfica y sacad vuestras propias conclusiones...
Shall I stay or shall I go now...?
Food for thought...
Since 1982, almost 800,000 PhDs were awarded in science and engineering (S
Take a look at Fig.1 "New faculty positions versus new PhDs"...

Well isn't this a nice story:
Well this is interesting. Sort of always knew this was a reality, but crazy to see the data behind it (from Nature magazine).
And this is the reason a work my ass off. One day I might actually land a tenure-track position.
There are only two ways to explain this: demand side or supply side.
Sobering statistics suggesting students should be considering preparing for jobs OUTSIDE of academia. The other thing that…
From my friend, Tess Thompson, a grad student at WashU: "A somewhat dry but useful article about a group at Wash U that…
I've always known this, but it really hurts to see it in graphic form...
This is the problem
Ruh-roh. New engineering/science PhDs vastly outnumber the faculty positions being created.
Ruh-roh. New Engineering/Science PhDs vastly outnumber the Faculty positions being created.
That first graph gave me pause.
As someone pursuing a career in academia....I do not like these numbers.
Let this graph be a warning to anyone contemplating a career in academia
Interesting figure in Nature biotechnology: http://www.nature.com/nbt/journal/v31/n10/fig_tab/nbt.2706_F1.html
Worth looking at for anyone pursuing a PhD in the sciences, or anyone involved in steering people toward PhDs in the sciences...
This is why universities these days also go by the words "PhD factory" Thanks for sharing Jeremy
Alright that's it, I'm dropping out and playing music.
Si el sistema no te apoya, el CIMS sí. "Desde 1982, se titularon casi 800,000 doctores en ciencias e ingenierías, mientras que só…

New faculty positions vs new PhD students
yep- basically what i thought... http://www.nature.com/nbt/journal/v31/n10/fig_tab/nbt.2706_F1.html
Would love to get Johnny De Lira's take on this...
If anyone was wondering why I'm no longer in academia, this is the basic reason. http://www.nature.com/nbt/journal/v31/n10/fig_ta…
Well done, BALSA! ~A very proud member!
Pleased to share a very recent in Nature Biotech, featuring us! Shout out to Brett, Cory and Maxim for writing this brave…
So unbelievably proud of my love Maximiliaan, contributing his grain of salt towards changing university culture! I love you! …
