Next Wave is a career development magazine, updated weekly on the Web, that has been published since 1995 by the research journal Science. The aim of our international staff is to provide you, the early-career scientist, with the tools, insight, and advice you need to discover the vast range of careers open to you, decide which path you want to pursue, and follow it. We look at research and nonresearch careers, on and off the bench, in academia, industry, and elsewhere. We cover issues of scientific training and career development. Our role models provide firsthand insight into their daily lives, the skills they've had to develop, and how they landed their jobs. Our expert columnists offer advice on finding a job and finishing your Ph.D. And our writers and editors bring you the latest news on factors affecting the science job market.
