Abstract
This paper presents findings on the initial employment destinations of doctoral graduates {2000-2007). Particular focus is given to the similarities and differences in relation to institution and discipline in the graduate and employment profiles. This Australian pattern is discussed within the context of regular international benchmarking and contributes to building an international picture of initial post-PhD employment. The paper challenges the often implicit assumption within universities that the doctorate is preparation for an academic career.
