What do researchers do? Career paths of doctoral graduates
To further explore how highly-skilled doctoral graduates contribute to UK society, culture and economy, this new report ‘What do researchers do? Career paths of doctoral graduates' highlights the employment pathways of researchers within and between six distinct occupational clusters; describing the stability, mobility and progression of researcher careers.
This study illustrates that doctoral research training is a good foundation for a wide variety of occupations and demonstrates the flexibility of researchers who take advantage of a diversity of employment opportunities.
