Declining postdoc numbers threaten the future of US life science
Briefly

The number of biological and biomedical postdoctoral researchers at US institutions saw a significant decline of more than 10% between 2020 and 2022, dropping from 21,902 to 19,585. This notable reduction indicates a substantial shift in this specific research sector.
Prior to 2020, even with adjustments that expanded the pool of postdocs to be considered in the count, the reported figures showed minimal fluctuation. This suggests a period of relative stability in the statistics before the recent decline.
