This report presents data from the 2003 Survey of Doctorate Recipients
(SDR). The SDR is a biennial, longitudinal panel survey that collects data
on demographic and general employment characteristics of individuals who
have received a doctorate in a science, engineering, or health field from
a U.S. academic institution. It follows sampled individuals from shortly
after they receive the doctorate through age 75. The SDR sample is
augmented each cycle with new samples of the most recent cohorts of
science and engineering doctorate recipients, identified by the Survey of
Earned Doctorates, an annual census of research doctorates awarded in the
United States.
The detailed statistical tables presented here provide information on the
number and median salaries of doctoral scientists and engineers[1] by
field of doctorate and occupation; demographic characteristics, such as
sex, race/ethnicity, citizenship, and age; and employment-related
characteristics, such as sector of employment, employer location, and
labor-force rates. Appendixes provide technical information about the
survey methodology, coverage, concepts, definitions, and sampling errors;
a standard error table; crosswalks defining field of doctorate and
occupation classifications used in survey sampling; and the 2003 SDR mail
questionnaire.
The National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health
sponsored the 2003 survey, which was conducted by the National Opinion
Research Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago. It is the 16th in a
series of surveys initiated in 1973 in response to the needs of the
federal government for demographic and employment information on
scientists and engineers trained at the doctoral level. The goal of the
2003 SDR is to provide policymakers and researchers with high-quality data
on the career patterns and achievements of the nation's doctoral
scientists and engineers.
Other data on doctoral scientists and engineers are available at
http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/doctoratework/. For more information on
survey data and methodology, please contact
