PhD-to-Industry Transition Database

A searchable registry of career transition case studies documenting doctoral and post-doctoral transitions into corporate R&D roles.

Illustrative figures. These transition cases are composite illustrations of common academic-to-industry routes. They do not describe identifiable individuals, and the institutions named are shown as typical settings rather than as the source of a specific record. They are published to show the shape of the landscape and to support orientation and discussion — they are not a statistically sampled survey and should not be cited as measured data.
