Our universities' research‐associate positions in physics

J. Howard McMillen
OpenURL
Show Topic
Research‐associate positions in physics, according to the author, play such a significant role in our country's basic research activity and in the maturation of young PhD's that expansion of the program seems in order. However, caution may be required by universities with regard to the rate at which these positions are established in order to prevent a runaway situation from developing, both with respect to their number and remuneration. The author, who is program director for physics in the Mathematical, Physical, and Engineering Sciences Division of the National Science Foundation, states that the views expressed in this article are his own and do not necessarily represent those of the Foundation.
