尽管学术研究一直被看作是受过博士训练的科学家的首选职业,但是大多数美国博士毕业生的现实就业选择不是研究部门,而是工业部门、政府部门或其他一些职业领域。这反映出高学历学术人才的供应和学术研究职位供应间存在严重失衡。汲取美国科学博士职业兴趣调查报告中的经验养分,对我国博士生教育及就业指导有启示作用。 Although academic research has long been regarded as the preferred career for doctoral-trained scientists, most real-world American PhD graduates are not selected for employment as research, but as industrial, government or other occupational fields. This reflects a serious imbalance between the availability of highly educated academic talent and the supply of scholarly research positions. Drawing on the empirical nutrition in the American Doctor of Professional Interests Surveys has an enlightenment on the doctoral education and employment guidance in our country.
