Dr Sam Moxon - The Academic Exodus

Dr Sam Moxon, narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher.

In this blog Sam explores the leaky careers pipeline in academia. For many aspiring academics, the path seems clear: get a PhD, publish research, and secure a tenure-track position.

Anecodtally, we're hearing PIs tell us that 3 years ago they might get 50-60 applications for a 4 year postdoc job, and today... they're getting 5-10 (so maybe good for some, but bad for others). In this blog, Sam talks about the challenges facing early-career scholars why people might be leaving, where they're going and what this might mean for the future,
