STATISTICAL RESEARCH CENTER of the AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF PHYSICS One Physics Ellipse College Park, MD 20740-3843 (301) 209-3070 stats@aip.org

The Statistical Research Center was formerly called the Education and Employment Statistics Division. This unit conducts research and provides survey services. Within the research portion of our mission, we collect, analyze and disseminate data on education and employment in physics and related fields. We are your source for reliable data on:

• Enrollments and degrees at all levels of education in physics, astronomy and related fields from high school through the PhD.
  
  
• Demographic profiles of physics faculty in high schools, 2-year colleges, 4-year colleges, and universities.
  
  
• Common career paths of physicists and astronomers with bachelor's degrees, master's degrees or PhDs.
  
  
• Workforce dynamics including unemployment, underemployment, staff turnover, retirement and the number of positions available.
  
  
• Issues that cut across education and employment such as the representation of women and minorities in physics and related fields.

We also contract with professional societies to carry out surveys on topics of particular concern to their organizations. Such surveys include:

• Profiles of professional society membership.
  
  
• Studies of the benefits of society membership.
  
  
• Surveys of targeted groups such as magazine readers, journal authors and conference participants.
  
  
• Salaries and employment prospects in specific fields.
