Early Career Doctorates Survey
As part of NCSES's ongoing website redesign project, the Early Career Doctorates Survey page has been reimagined. Beginning in May 2023, only survey data published from the 2017 cycle or earlier will be available on this page. Data from all subsequent cycles will be published on our new Early Career Doctorates Survey (ECDS) page.
The Early Career Doctorates Survey (ECDS) gathers in-depth information about individuals who earned their first doctoral degree (PhD, MD, or equivalent) in the past 10 years and work at academic institutions and federally funded research and development centers. Unique in scope, the ECDS includes professional and research doctorate holders from all fields trained in the United States and abroad. Sponsored by the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics within the National Science Foundation and by the National Institutes of Health, the ECDS provides new data on the demographics, work experiences, and career paths of individuals in the first years following the completion of their doctoral studies.
