I’m not sure if this question has been asked before or not, but I thought I would ask it just in case. Could someone please give job prospects for a PhD in neuroscience? I am not asking for prospects for a PhD in the sciences, in chemistry, biology, etc, but only for an actual PhD in the field of neuroscience. I truly would love a tenure track position, but I am aware those are scarce, ridiculously so, and I would like to know what my other options are along the road before I embark upon the graduate school journey.

I really just want to know the availability of careers with decent salaries, a general job description, how you should go about getting there, etc. I say decent because I’m not going into this field for the money, but because I truly enjoy it. However, I do want to support a family someday. Obviously any insights at achieving a tenure track position would be much appreciated.
