This fact sheet provides information on whether foreign students who earn doctoral degrees in the United States in scientific or engineering fields remain in the United States after receiving their doctorates. The information was obtained from a 1985 National Science Foundation report (NSF 86-305) titled "Foreign Citizens in U.S. Science and…

An evaluation is made of the postdoctoral training program in education which was held at the University of Oregon, 1966-67. Six postdoctoral fellows participated in the program, four from the field of higher education and two from public school administration. The program had four objectives: (1) To improve and extend research skills, (2) to…

Postdoctoral training programs at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences utilize the ongoing activities of the Center for broadening and deepening the educational research competence both of scholars in the field of education and behavioral scientists whose work can contribute significantly to more adequate understanding of…

During his postdoctoral fellowship year, Dr. William L. Goodwin audited courses on early childhood learning and development and on research methodology. He also attended numerous conferences and visited preschool EPDA programs. The report contains a complete list of courses audited, conferences attended, and schools visited. (RT)

Long-range biomedical manpower needs up to 1985 have been projected and the best estimate indicates that there will be an increase from 64,000 workers in 1965 to 150,000 in 1985. The related expenditure is expected to increase from 1.9 billion dollars to 15.7 billion dollars in the same period. Alternate predictions, based on other possible…

The Postdoctoral Fellowship Program in Educational Research at the University of Pittsburgh afforded the opportunity for two selected participants to engage in intensive study which expanded their capabilities in the area of research methodology. In addition, the program provided them with extensive research experience. A plan for individual study…

This report outlines the activities of the chairman of the Speech Department of San Francisco State College during the 1968-69 postdoctoral fellowship year. The year's study was divided between the Studies in Nonverbal Behavior Department of Langley Porter Neuropsychiatric Institute and the Education Policy Research Center of Stanford Research…

The postdoctoral fellowship afforded an opportunity for the author to engage in an intensive year of training and research in structural learning at the University of Pennsylvania and Standford University.

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

A postdoctoral pharmacy fellowship is described that provides training in industrial clinical pharmacy practice and related tasks associated with the development of new pharmaceuticals, through experience in industrial and hospital settings and in research projects. (MSE) PUBTYPE[141

The purpose of this narrative essay was to share my experiences as a postdoctoral fellow in the Center for Curriculum Materials in Science. Data used to write this article came from two interviews, an on-line survey, and notes from a reflective journal collected during postdoctoral tenure. My experiences as a postdoctoral fellow have been…

Discusses the problems associated with postdoctoral medical education: length of time to attain degrees, appropriateness of the education, and discontent in the final professional practice. (PG)

Studied the careers of 557 biochemists to investigate: (1) the effects of predoctoral research productivity on postdoctoral training opportunities; (2) how the location of postdoctoral training affects the prestige of subsequent jobs; and (3) the effects of postdoctoral training on publication rates. (GC)

Although there appear to be only minor differences between clinical, counseling, and school psychology disciplines, doctoral training typically involves application to a doctoral specialty training program in one of these separate fields. Perhaps the American Psychological Association (APA) has focused too much on existing differences and not…
