<p>I’ve heard that science PhDs are in over supply in the US. Is this true?
Does anyone know the supply/demand for science PhDs in Canada or the UK? </p>
<p>I’m specifically interested in neuroscience/neurobiology.</p>

<p>Yes, PhDs are a dime in a dozen in the US. The PhD oversupply issue is a problem in every developed country. I think Canada would be your best bet. The UK is definitely a no no. </p>
<p>Canada is a small country (population wise) and they are really looking for scientists. The US and UK are both an oversaturated market. Also look at Australia and other places- they might not be that bad.</p>
<p>Where did you do your PhD and what type of jobs are you looking for?</p>

<p>I’m still a student in my early undergrad years, and I’m contemplating getting a PhD in neurobiology or a related field.</p>
