I paid some attention to Physics and CS

All depends on job market. 

Almost a must for Physics professor. ~ 20% PhD graduates become professors (not right away). 

CS not a must. 40% goes to acedemia.

USA physics and CS phd graduates around 2-3k each year. Some could become professor outside of USA but there are graduates from overseas competing for professor positions in USA. 

Biology professors typically go through 2-term postdoc. 

 

加注：楼下说 research type university CS tenure track professor positions still require postdoc.

• 去排名100后的学校当教授，资源少生源差工资少，真没啥意思。估计是博后时成果不多 -风景线2- ♀ (0 bytes) () 04/29/2024 postreply 13:29:26
