These are challenging times for young people pursuing scientific careers. According to the U.S. Census, the growth of advanced degrees here in the U.S. continues. Approximately 13% of adults now have graduate degrees. Four million hold Ph.D.’s , more than twice the number of twenty years ago. On a global scale, OECD notes that Ph.D. scientists in every field have increased significantly, and particularly in STEM areas. In China, for example, 49,000 Ph.D.'s graduated in 2010, a four-fold increase in just a decade. What’s the career impact of this increase for young scientists? According to the OECD research referenced above, a “dual labor market” has formed, that consists of “well-paid established researchers who often have permanent civil servant or public employee contracts, and on the other hand a growing number of cheaper temporary staff recruited with soft money.” For example, in a survey of 38 EU and EU-partner countries, a significant proportion of early career researchers h...
