摘要:

In the summer of 1974, University of Massachusetts radioastronomer Joseph Taylor and his graduate student Russell Hulse discovered the first binary pulsar. This month in Stockholm, Hulse and Taylor are being honored with the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physics “for [this] discovery of a new type of pulsar, a discovery that has opened up new possibilities for the study of gravitation.” The importance of this new star for the investigation of gravity in the relativistic regime was clear almost from the start.

摘要:

During the past several years, many developments on both a national and global scale have greatly altered the job market for scientists and engineers in the US. The end of the cold war has meant deepening cuts in the Defense Department's research programs and at nuclear weapons facilities funded by the Department of Energy. The recession has been unexpectedly persistent, and many large corporations have eliminated tens of thousands of jobs. Pressures on state and Federal budgets combined with the continued decline in the number of Americans who are of traditional college age (18–24 years old) have affected state and private colleges and universities. Geopolitical changes, especially the turmoil in the former Soviet and East Bloc countries, have prompted a significant number of senior scientists from those countries to look for positions elsewhere—in particular the US. These changes are sending shock waves through all sectors of the physics work force and adversely affecting the availability of jobs for physicists.

摘要:

The current folklore regarding today's job market for recent physics PhD recipients describes a dichotomy between discouragement and the challenge to be imaginative. Hard statistics are needed to help put into perspective the much publicized but meager anecdotal information about the initial employment of physics doctorate recipients in the 1990s. Such data are available from a battery of annual surveys conducted by the American Institute of Physics.
