Outlines the historical background leading to the present educational setting in Britain. Discusses the role and responsibility of science education in the universities in relationship to the limited market for students trained in science and technology. Defends the position of industry against emotional and uniformed criticism. (JR)

Discusses recent trends in job placement for BS, MS, and PhD graduates in chemical and chemical engineering. (CP)

Considers first work in modern industry that uses very directly professional knowledge and skills of the physicist, then considers work which requires scientific knowledge and skills, and finally suggests other fields of work in industry which, though traditionally not filled by physicists, nevertheless offer rewarding work and provide…

The rationale behind postdoctoral work for PhD chemists is discussed. Speculations concerning the decline in postdoctoral appointments since 1976 are advanced. (CP)

Cites salary statistics for chemists between 1975 and 1976 according to employer-type, degree level, geographical location, sex, and other factors. (MLH)

Provides the names and addresses of most of the nation's major employers of chemists and chemical engineers. Also lists sources of information and organizations that can supply guidance on selecting, obtaining, and changing careers. (MLH)

Cites statistics of a National Science Foundation report on scientists and engineers in 1974. Reports that chemists are better educated, older, have a better chance of being employed, and do more work for industry, than other scientific personnel. (MLH)

Those disciplines in the pharmaceutical sciences where critical manpower shortages now exist or will occur are identified by 34 pharmaceutical manufacturers in response to a request by the American Foundation for Pharmaceutical Education, which awarded fellowships in four critical areas. High priority needs are appended. (JMD)

Presented is an overview of the national investment in research and development (R&D) in terms of expenditures and the utilization of R&D scientists and engineers. Four sectors of the economy are included: government, industry, universities and colleges, and other non-profit institutions. The data presented are based primarily on a series…
