The purpose of the 10,000 PhDs Project was to determine the current (2016) employment status of the 10,886 individuals who graduated from the University of Toronto with a PhD in all disciplines from 2000-2015. Using internet searches, we found that about half (51%) of the PhD graduates are employed in the post-secondary education sector, 26% as tenure-track professors, with an additional 3% as adjunct professors and 2% as full-time teaching-stream professors. Over the time-period 2000-2015 there has been a near doubling in PhD graduates with the biggest increase in graduation numbers for the Physical (2.6-fold) and Life Sciences (2.2-fold). Increasingly, these graduates are finding employment in the private and public sectors providing the highly qualified personnel needed to drive an innovation economy.
“10000 名博士项目”旨在确定 2000 年至 2015 年期间从多伦多大学获得各学科博士学位的 10886 名个人的当前（2016 年）就业状况。通过互联网搜索，我们发现大约一半（51%）的博士毕业生在高等教育部门工作，其中 26%是终身制教授，另有 3%是兼职教授，2%是全职教学教授。在 2000 年至 2015 年期间，拥有博士学位的毕业生人数几乎翻了一番，其中物理（2.6 倍）和生命科学（2.2 倍）的毕业人数增幅最大。越来越多的这些毕业生在私营和公共部门找到了工作，为推动创新经济提供了所需的高素质人才。
