The career to which most physical anthropology graduate students have aspired historically is that of college or university faculty member in an anthropology department with a graduate program. Through the early 1970s, such a career was not an unrealistic aspiration. However, an important employment threshold was exceeded in 1975; the production of Ph.D. physical anthropologists by U.S. colleges and universities exceeded the number of new Ph.D. physical anthropologists hired as faculty members by these departments. That trend continued into the 1980s, with one-third again as many doctoral degrees being granted in the field as there were job openings in U.S. anthropology departments. |
