Profile of Early Career Doctorates: 2015

In the U.S. workforce, early career doctorates-persons receiving their first doctorate within the past 10 years-are a diverse group that includes both U.S. and non-U.S. citizens trained either in the United States or abroad. The Early Career Doctorates Survey (ECDS) gathers in-depth information about such individuals who are employed at U.S. master ' s- and doctorate-granting academic institutions, federally funded research and development centers, or the National Institutes of Health Intramural Research Program. Data are from the 2015 ECDS pilot study, sponsored by the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics within the National Science Foundation.
