[DIALOGnews] DIALOG V Program Report

[Susan Weiler]

Dear DIALOG V cohort and DIALOG siblings,

I have just completed a 'final draft' of the DIALOG V program report, 
and it is available on line at

http://marcus.whitman.edu/~weilercs/DIALOG_V/

Before I send it out to the world, I hope some of you will be curious 
enough to read it and let me know if you find any errors or, tell me 
if there is something more you would like me to try to gleen from the 
DIALOG database.

Thank you all for being my sea hares -- is that the aquatic 
equivalent of a guinea pig? You all make such interesting data 
points!!!

For those of you who don't want all the gory details, here are some highlights:
447 PhDs submitted by citizens of 49 countries.
44% female
   9% of Americans were from underrepreseted minorities
31.6 was the median age at PhD (range 25.0 - 56.8)
62% oceanographers
18% of the 447 and 17% of American participants were in
    temporary positions, the rest in postdocs or other temporary positions.
    For W. Europeans, just 12 of 127 (9%) were in permanent positions.
    Sorry, there weren't enough people in the other groups to be meaningful.
87% of Amnerican and 80% of W. Europeans rated the job market as 
excellent, good or neutral.
MARRIAGE AND FAMILY. Gender differences here, about the only place I 
found anything significant. 40% of females and 53% of males indicated 
they were married. 17% of women and 33% of men had children.


cheer, sue
