The total number of postdoctoral appointees reported in the 2010 Survey of Graduate Students and Postdoctorates in Science and Engineering (GSS) grew to 63,415 in 2010, an increase of 10% over the 2009 total and 25% over the 2007 total. These 1- and 3-year growth rates are the highest in the history of the GSS and likely reflect improved reporting, as well as the continued expansion of postdoc employment in academia.
