Job Possibilities in Astronomy Harald Kuntschner ST-ECF

ESO job-hunting survey Q: How did you get to (do you plan to) hear about your 1st post-doc?

Ph.-D.’s are important (Gibson et al. 1999, astro-ph/9904229) # Ph.-D.’s remaining active: 55-75% overall up to ~80% for “prestigious” institutes only ~50% for “non-prestigious” programs (Trimble, 1991) Within 10yrs of Ph.-D. … recipe for success? 45% permanent 20% “soft-money” 35% quit research

Recipe for success for Ph.-D. (1) Investigate past history of school/supervisor (2) Know what’s “Hot” (3) Get experience writing grants (and proposals!) (4) Be sure to network (5) Avoid excessive observing (6) Be wary of undertaking Ph-Ds in very large teams (7) Move institutes for your Ph-D and PDF, and be prepared to emigrate (8) Be aware of the competition
