Abstract

Excellent job opportunities exist for welltrained graduates at the doctoral level in all fields of oceanography and oceanographie engineering, but there are too few candidates to fill the jobs. That was the consensus reached last year at the Deans' Retreat, an annual conference of US and Canadian deans representing the major schools and institutes offering doctoral-level training in oceanography. The trend of decreasing numbers of doctoral candidates has evolved since 1980, when the deans first met at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Woods Hole, MA, USA The deans reported that the largest pool of applicants is in biological oceanography, but acceptances are funding-limited. The other disciplines are applicant-limited, especially in physical oceanography and ocean engineering. Regardless of discipline, mathematics is generally found to be the principal weakness in most applicants.
海洋学家和海洋工程师:供不应求
在海洋学和海洋工程的各个领域,训练有素的博士毕业生都有很好的工作机会,但候选人太少,无法填补这些工作岗位。这是去年在院长务虚会上达成的共识。院长务虚会是美国和加拿大院长的年度会议,代表着提供海洋学博士水平培训的主要学校和研究所。自1980年以来,博士候选人数量减少的趋势已经发生了变化,当时院长们第一次在美国马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔的伍兹霍尔海洋研究所会面。院长们报告说,申请人数最多的是生物海洋学,但接受的资金有限。其他学科的申请是有限的,特别是在物理海洋学和海洋工程。无论哪个学科,数学通常被发现是大多数申请者的主要弱点。
